MMU Degree Show

June 28, 2009 – 5:13 pm

So the degree show finally closed its doors today: leaving me one extremely tired, yet elated, human being. The response to my piece was fantastic, and it was down to everyone who contributed their thoughts and doodles that it went so well. I took around 13,000 photographs over the last week, which were all included [...]

Cutting Room Experiment; My Entry

May 27, 2009 – 10:33 pm

I’ve entered this interesting competition; it’s asking for concepts for 12 flash mobbing events, to be held in Manchester in July.  My idea is for all of the attendants to take photographs simultaneously on their mobile phones, and then blutooth them to a central hub to be displayed on a big screen. Vote for me [...]

Baker’s Yeast Sonification

May 18, 2009 – 10:24 am

I’m currently completely wound up in stressing about my degree show – which is on the 19th June here, for anyone who wants to come (it’s entirely public) – but managed to fit in an entry to this competition. The task was to sonify the coding sequence of a gene taken from Baker’s Yeast. Very [...]

Baker Tilly Competition

May 17, 2009 – 11:24 am

I won! I found out quite a while ago actually. My pitch for the HDR photographs did the trick and I was selected. I actually installed my finished images at the Baker Tilly offices lastweek, and they seem very happy with them. I elected to install 3 images (see below).
My work  is sharing a room [...]

EASA HQ (Moonfish) Competition

May 16, 2009 – 12:07 pm

I entered and was shortlisted (but didn’t win) this competition to design a paint job for the iconic ‘Moonfish’ building. It’s being rebranded / launched as the HQ for the European Architecture Students Assembly 2010 (which is in Manchester). The winner was announced last Friday, and was Nicos Yaitros from Cyprus; a well deserved winner with [...]

Web as canvas: The evolution of the world wide web as a creative forum

April 17, 2009 – 12:30 am

This is an essay that I wrote last year for University. Though I don’t think it’s bad – it could certainly be improved. It should still be of some use / relevance. I really found writing it made me get my head round the concepts I was writing about, and although I understood them all [...]

Artful Data

April 3, 2009 – 3:45 pm

I’ve considered making a kind of data to sound generator. Rather like Cornelia Solfrank’s Net Art generator, but like a sound art generator. This is a different approach, that I was led to by browsing Max Tundra’s brilliantly crazy website.
Daniel Cummerow has made various MIDI files (musical arrangements) that are generated by tapping into various [...]

Advertising Standards Authority

March 10, 2009 – 3:43 pm

I decided to compain to the ASA the other day. I’d seen an advert for nicotine patches, saying that nicotine was  ‘theraputic’. Made me laugh, and vaguely angry. I do wish I wasn’t addicted to nicotine… maybe addicted is a little strong. Wish I didn’t have a nicotine habit.
Anyway; here’s the response.
Dear Mr Lindley

Data Sonification

March 7, 2009 – 4:05 pm

I’ve been thinking about Sonification (has a definition on Wikipedia, even if it isn’t a real word) of data for sometime. My first experiment used this blog. A hidden iFrame on the main page opened a page on a web server running off my laptop. These requests were then converted to audio and played out [...]
