Marthas’ Video Presentation

February 28, 2007

I have uploaded Marthas’ video presentation to Youtube, this video was only one half or the entire presentation but I feel its an importnat piece as the message within the video is more important, I used a mixture of music and video to come up with a story about how the 3rd world is more undeveloped, and even compared to the 60’s when the space race between American and Russia the techonology was vast ( That is if you belive in the Moon Landings of course ), and yet nothing can still be done even now.

Please I am open for discussion and comments, and please please let it be constuctive!!!

Interstices Project

February 28, 2007

Well, its been a rough week. The projects are certainly mounting up at a steady pace, 8 in total at present time, we just had another project “remembered” to us by Mike yesterday which was nice, it shouldn’t take long.

The Project Outline:

The Project is called Interstices, after brain storming for a minute or two with Chris and Kenny, Chris mentioned Ghost in the Shell (GITS), which is one of my favourite franchises ever! This movie is about the future and how humans can record memories, replace limbs, store vast amounts of data and live forever, all of which is done using computers.I also rattle my brain cells by reading the commoners way to learning new information, the BBC Focus magazine, its all in laymans terms so its easier to digest, rather than reading the long winded Scientific American or New Scientist. In this months issue of the Focus magazine, there is a fortunate article about memory recording, I can’t believe my luck…

As with anything mechanical, it is bound to go wrong, when for instance getting a replacement limb in GITS there is model number just like todays electrical products. Every now and again certain models malfunction. And with every computer comes a hacker, hacking is a huge part of todays online society, as I type this my Security Centre is going mad, it constantly pops up reminding me that I need to upgrade. Referring to Michael Moores acclaimed movie Bowling for Columbine “Pumping fear into everyone”, is it really necessary to have this? surely the warnings are not always imperitive to upgrade, I havent done since I had it pre-installed on my PC and i’m still fine. Anyway I digress…

My idea is going to have a screen dump of the BBC website, with an article relating to his Tonyness, the subject will be about todays current affairs, mainly about the Iraq war. By incorporateing some of the ideas from GITS like memory hacking I can paint a picture of the future as if this was to happen to his Tonyness.

Artifact Updated again

February 26, 2007

Really annoyed now that I cant get into my blog thingy, now decided with kenny that we have to list in order tomorrow or the importance of our projects for the next upcoming weeks. Just spoke to a friend of mine who is doing pretty much the same kind of couse but at Bath Spa University, I just found out that he is just learning to motion tween in flash, I laughed…. alot, going to get some food and then procrastinate a little bit more before deciding which path my frontal cortex wants to take me.

Been quite layed back with this blog, and no this is isnt my first blog entry Mike! I cant remember my username and password to wordpress, well at least i think it was word press, anywho…. I have just been on the blower to big Kenny we were just running over our insanely bust timetable for march I counted about 6 projects which isnt healthy, especially since we have just had about 3 months of nothing, it doesn’t make any sense but hey that’s…..no i wont break into a song.

I’ve just about finished my artifact project, I had a quick browse through the projects, musaabs again will be easy, the flash will be tough and the ASP will kill us so goodbye for now…
