The reason behind Mima’s 3rd hand - Highly Responsive to Prayers

Mima’s spritesheet from Highly Responsive to Prayers looks somehow like this. I haven’t managed to extract the sprites from the game myself, but you can see it at spriters-resource /sheet/103553/.

As you can observe, there is only 1 full sprite of Mima, the rest being just fragments of her body that are being overlayed on the full sprite. Because of this, when it’s overlayed on the main sprite, the fragment where she points with the knife will show the full sprite’s hand with the knife in the background.

This could have been avoided by having a full sprite for the pointing knife appearance instead. In conclusion, Mima doesn’t actually have 3 arms drawn, it’s just because of how the pieces overlay.

commuter:the next train

#4 Leicester station

Real-time observation for iPad and GoPro, from a day’s site/sound works over five train journeys 01/10/15.

These pieces look at the relationship between mobility and temporality. Commuting has a wide range of rhythms, which shift between boredom and frustration, pleasure and reflexivity. Tim Edensor talks about rhythmic mosaics constructed from the daily activities and interactions of “…multiple social actors – shopkeepers, workers, dog-walkers, wardens, students, the young and old that …collectively constitute space through their rhythmic practices”. Commuting adds to this rhythmic mosaic.

Commuting rhythms shape the mobile experience of space. Places are not fixed; they are experienced as familiar fixtures passing under the same or varied conditions of travel. Commuting rhythms synchronised to the same time, along the same route. Places are “… locations at which multiple temporalities collide, synchronise and interweave” (Crang 2001). The variation of stops en route, the numbers of bends and obstacles along the way, the passing of familiar landmarks and objects at a predictable speed all afford a subtle and enhanced appreciation of place. This is highlighted when things go wrong, for instance here when a train is cancelled.

It also shows our acceptance of the current neo-liberal system where UK trains are run by companies for profit, using woefully antiquated rolling stock.
