New office
I’ve moved to a new office! At the moment everything is still in boxes but when its unpacked there will be a lot more space. It’s a great location, right in the centre of town - next to the river. Luckily the office is on the first floor so the traditional York floods aren’t likely to be a problem. Please note my new phone number 01904 624681 and address The Fishergate Centre, 4 Fishergate, York, YO10 4FB
Walls film on the web
I’ve been meaning to put the film I made for the Bootham Bar installation on the web for a while and I’ve finally managed it. When you put a film on the web you have to trade off the size and quality of the film against the amount of time it takes people to download it. The finished result isn’t quite as splendid as the high-definition original but it does bring a new excitement to the idea of walking around the walls. Have a look for yourself - you’ll need broadband to make it work.
Centre for Life
I’ve been asked by the Centre for Life in Newcastle to create several exhibits for their new gallery Our Future which is opening in Spring 2007. We’re still evolving the design of the exhibits but we’re looking to put a new interactive spin on news feeds. There’s also going to be a fully updatable “Find Out More” exhibit. Last week we spent some time discussing whether it was a good idea to put a picture of Brad Pitt on the attractor screen. Looks like I’m going to have to put more time into reading Heat before this one is done.
