V&A decode design exhibition.

Definately my favorite piece, made a simulation of all the airplanes wthin 24 hours in north america. my favourite bit was when it went quiet between 1am till 7am then u could see the right hand side get busier and slowly move to the left with the sun. that was actually an amazing bit. it feels like something which wasnt planned but came from just doing it and signified something beautiful.

The keycode to let the viewer in the show know whethet he pieces are interactive or not and on what level. very clever and looked really nice. Little details which other people porbably dont notice.

Loved the spectacle of it I guess.........

Movng image wont come up when i print it off. but has a collection of images from show on loop.

Was a nice show....I just enjoyed it for what it was.....wasnt really related to work but it also was. Im interested in how interactive it was....and the need for that these days to keep people interrested. need to look up the topic of the spectacle and interactivity and how we get bored easily these days and things need to be sensory. the instant

RICHARD HAMILTON - THE SERPENTINE GALLERY

Yea this was the least time ive ever spent in the serpentine. it was all pretty simple to see. just how one image can coomunicate different things through being manipulated differently. i guess there is a beauty when thinking about his ability to think of different techniques. and it is political. using media images, a carry on investigation of worhols investgations etc. yea its nice. dealing with surface. hasnt affected me mucht hough. not sure why.

i think it could of been better in a bigger exhibition. maybe. it felt like little tasters. the thatcher thing was amazing though. about conditioning etc. loved the way it was made. Iguess the way the images were curated was good. having a smaller one near the floor so it didnt draw much attention to itself. yes it was a good show.

UN CHIEN ANADALOU - DALI FILM

A film that we were pushed to see in National Diploma but didnt undewrstand it at all and thought it was a load of rubbish so I decided to go and see it again. ummmm I still dont think i get it. I think i need to sit down and proper decode but I dont care about enough.

I see things i didnt see before. but nothing major lazor

CLOCKWORK ORANGE, AMERICAN PSYCHO, TARRENTINO

Loved this film.....really questionned the difference between a good and bad person. The beethoven shots with the jesus figureen and the sped up sex scenes were amazing. Im interested in this jutxapostioning of happy songs with horrible situations. eg. american psycho where its all about mixing murder with a happy song and tarantinos ear shot.

Im partcularly interested in how american psycho dealt with the ideal. the ideal physique and money etc, and the price he was playing. you also question if this stuff actually happens because u have no idea because is in no way connected. obviously it doesnt but im not sure how much of it is true and how much isnt. it is definately exaggerated. i love these exaggerations to make a point of highlighting something tho. and the cost other areas pay in the exaggeration of others. one liners also...."has to give some tapes back." The business cards.

Also with the clockwork orange.....it pretty did deal with what a good and bad person is and the choice involved in it and what are the human attributes and how do people deal with bad people in society. what is right and wrong and where it all comes from. evil.

Was talking to tatsu yesterday abnd i said i had a theory and there was too types of bad people. those who conditioned badly and lost and angry within society who havent been shown another way. and then there are those who are genetically evil. i sound a bit hitlerish but i dont mean in a way that some people should be killed etc just that.....they cant help it. it is just them.

just like some people are incapable of learning. its genetic.

The mixture of happiness with melancholy is what it is in my work. it works the same way. laughing at the happy music but something awful is happening. toilet rolls on a wall is funny....but could socialism work? no...it cant. etcetc

chu yun - constellation

I love this piece. the title of it is just as important as the material. using all the stand bys. it reminds me of when i was watching shooting stars and they did a quick scene where they took the fit lady on a fake date and they were describing what type of stars they were through the voltage of the studio lights. amazingly clever. it makes a good comment on what it is to live now. stand bys are slowly becoming extinct because they waste energy and yet its mimicing a fake reality of our stars. the lights in out cities are causing light polliution making it impossible to see stars so here is a recreation out of the lights we have. absolutely beautiful. has got me so excited. its about finding these little things which are disappearing as a result of the global changes.
