More details soon.

Participants get their say

Our six lucky participants were given the opportunity today to see rough cuts of their photos and video and listen to their edited interviews. As part of the development of the final pieces, each person was given an opprtunity to feedback to the individual artists about how the works were progressing.

Final exhibition unit

Here is a photo of one of the final exhibition units. This time it's the right way round and sporting it's picture frame and mount.

Well, it might change a little bit more...

Prototype testing

The current prototype of the final exhibition unit is currently resident in my flat - partially for safe keeping and also to allow that extra bit of comfort whilst developing the interactivity. John and Kirsty came round today to try out the system.

John brought a rough cut of some of the video footage to try out on the 32" screen. The video looked good, but we both need to explore different video encoding to make sure that it displays properly. More things for us to learn about...

Building commences

The Creative Group have now signed off the prototype of the final exhibition units, which means that we can start ordering and building the remaining five. We've still got some work to do on the interactivity and software, but the main components will remain the same.

The unit shown is missing the picture frame and is shown in portrait format.

Meeting the designers

Kirsty and I have just met the designers from Burn who are going to be putting together the marketing materials for the exhibition, plus creating the all important logo. We discussed with them the groups ideas from the session last term and Burn brought their own ideas to the table.

I think they have come up with some great ideas and I can't wait to see the final results. Watch this space...
