I’ve been researching and experimenting with various ways of taking high dynamic range images, this the result of my research so far. Also serves as an opportunity to test the gallery functionality in this version of Wordpress!
There are plenty of glitches still in the pictures, but I’m making some progress.
Researching stuff for the Interactive Arts Wiki, found Zenphoto. Possibly a good thing for Photobombing…
I’ve made my own Infrared Pen for use with a Wii controller; interactive white board a-hoy. Hopefully will use it somehow with Zimmy’s feedback project using Johnny Lee’s interactive white board software. See this post for some cool videos demonstrating it.
For anyone’s reference; I got the infrared LED from Maplin. The part is “High Power [...]
I’ve started working with Zimmy on creating an multi-faceted installation based around audio visual feedback. It stems from Zimmy’s experiments with pointing video cameras at projections of what the video camera is looking at… thus creating a feedback loop.
It is hugely fun, and awe inspiring in a way- I really love things that make you [...]
Since I discovered it was possible, I’ve been yearning to make something out of the Webserver on a Stick project (WOS). Components that make WOS are:
A web server; Apache
A database server; MySQL
A scripting language; PHP
For one, I love all the recursive acronyms. GNU, stands for GNU is not UNIX. Witty! And PHP stands for PHP [...]
Lots of fun & clever flash programming.
I’m so jealous!

Artists are utilising the net as a medium for developing art projects, however these projects are often hard to find. The range of activity is extensive: artists use the net to experiment; to display and distribute their art projects; to collaborate; and sometimes to intervene critically in the increasingly commercialised and politicised space [...]
I went to a pre-Diwali celebration at Platt Fields Park a couple of weeks ago. It was fantastic. Not really directly relevant to my artistic practice, but certainly a good thing to do (for me) to keep my mind happy and creative. It was a really nice community event, but the dramatic climax was hugely [...]
I recently purchased a modified Nokia phone, that lets you set it into a “spy mode” - whereby the phone appears to be off but will actually automatically answer any incoming phone calls; without any visible signs. Its designed for un-trusting types to spy on their friends, employers or loved ones. Fortunately, I’m in a [...]
I just came across this in a discussion on Plan B Magazine’s forum, talking about my spam art project. Even though I can’t realistically continue it, still nice to see. This is just what I was going for!
Amazingly, since my last post thing have been going pretty well!
I wrote that yesterday, and things were still okay this morning. However I’ve annoyed one many spam-savvy academics, one too many times (maybe).
I’m not sure exactly what happened, but I was reported to spamcop.net, who notified my ISP who then temporarily disabled my account.
So [...]

Proven effective.

What is Spam Art?
I have a new harebrained “artistic” scheme. As the title suggests it is to do with spam.
I read about something I thought that was cool; a guy had simply created a dedicated email inbox and ensured that it received lots of spam all the time (not too difficult these days). Then a [...]
This is the content of the email that I sent in my preliminary spArt tests…..
I’m an Art Student, in Manchester (UK).
I’m mainly interested in working with computers, technology and the web - and finding interesting subjects within those areas to base my work on.
This will form part of my creative process.
I (literally) just had the [...]
I’m becoming increasing frustrated with my inability to record my music in a efficient manner. Procrastination is a big problem as is occasional lethargy. Also I find it difficult to defer my desires to mess about with my various other projects that are on-going.
Today’s procrastinative displacement activity is giving some much needed attention to this [...]
