Been working with the lovely @thingsthatgoonthings

Been working with the lovely @thingsthatgoonthings researching and testing some things about trees. Also involved are some great students from @schoolofdigitalarts I can see some really interesting interweaving threads coming together. (Not pictured are some lovely AR sketches, plant sensor music, and other filmed goodies)

Occasionally you capture a perfect moment, @jude_jagger puppeteering @yan_tan_tethera's wonderful puppet kudama (copying the actions in the film) while he describes it. Unnamed Kudama, is everyones favourite friend of the past 2 days, such a cutie ❤️ @thingsthatgoonthings

At #baylight23 with the portals this weekend.
Loads of happy people despite the wet weather.
The RNLI centre made for a lovely surface of the moon feel to the portals.

I need a residency somewhere cold where I can continue this research!

The low sun amplifying textures much like my portals, I love sand, beautifully sculpted by wind and water.

Adrift on an Endless Ocean, commissioned for Wigan

Adrift on an Endless Ocean, commissioned for Wigan Light Night, by @thingsthatgoonthings
When I gaze at waves on rivers and the seas I loose myself thinking of our planet drifting through the endless void of the universe buffeted by an ocean of electromagnetic radiation.
The audio, is inspired by the sounds recorded by the Apollo missions on the far side of the moon.
I hope that the installation can make us think about our tiny island planet drifting through the universe.
Thanks also to @dazzjoyce1 for helping me out with the build

Had a curve ball on my new build and had to shave 1mm off the width of some steel strips, only had to do 75m of them… it wasn’t a new wheel to be fair, I go the Grinder out of a skip, and discovered I couldn’t replace the wheel, but I’ll have to have another go at it after this or let it get binned again. Still, job done even if it has added a day to the build!

Been going through some old harddrives, this is a screenshot of a realtime show previsualiser I made in 2014 for the Eurovision show, we were going to use d3, but its previz was way to basic for my liking so I made one with reflective floors, visible light beams (with gobos) and here with some fountains, which I'm not sure made it into the actual show.
I spent the next 4 years trying to make the timeliner easily usable for other shows, (a vvvv3 ;) )it was fine for me, but unfortunately not easy enough to release as an open source show visualiser, although I did use it on a number of other shows for projections, and pixel mappings.
I started upgrading it for the new version of #vvvv but as I don't really do live shows anymore it remains unfinished, unless anybody want to sponser me!

Harmonic portal on watergate bay beach, the unusually calm sea, makes a relaxing sound track.

I spent an hour with this rock, it’s amazing how much, as the light fades the effect of the light changes, it made me want to spend the night and wait for the tide to come in and surround the rock, I think there was a perch I could get to, but I’d have to be well prepared, I’d be cut off for several hours, and I’m not sure how high the water gets there. I’d love to see the waves illuminated by the portal.
There are some great places for projections on the cliffs there too.

Some beach textures on a nocturnal wander with a harmonic portal last night.
When I first made the portals I was reminded of one of my first influences as a light art artist, the Boyle Family, although I didn’t like their journeys to the surface of the earth as much as much as their projection interventions at the time, I realised that I had subconsciously created a light work that explored a similar theme. Framing random (or semi random in this case) areas of the ground makes for an interesting detailed investigation of the everyday world around us.
Thanks again to @artichoketrust for commissioning the portals, every time I take them somewhere they show me something new.

I was recently invited over to Tübingen by @stephan.klingebiel for the kultur nacht, postponded from 2020, due to world wide catastrophe! What a lovely place it was too, harmonic portal was shown in the portal to the castle, the gatehouse with portcullis (now removed) and holes in the roof for presumably pouring oil on invaders!
Twinned with #durham both being university towns with medieval histories, it seemed rather apt.
The limestone walls had beautiful textures, that reminded me of sourdough bread.
Thank you for having me!
