The Seeing Eye

I saw this yesterday and thought it may be of interest to Chin

It’s at the Wellcome Collection, across the road from the Bartlett, on the first floor. Come with me; I can get free coffee!

Mostly Harmless

January 20th, 2010 § 0

A nice antidotal quote to all the Pask I’ve been reading…

Anything that happens, happens. Anything that, in happening, causes something else to happen, causes something else to happen. Anything that, in happening, causes itself to happen again, happens again.

It doesn’t necessarily do it in chronological order, though.

- Douglas Adams, Mostly Harmless

Physical Virus Overview

January 19th, 2010 § 0

Here’s the presentation I gave in Copenhagen last week regarding my Physical Virus project. The project is an architectural conversation about invasive species; the first step is to create a ballet performance using ants, using a series of modified printers to print pheromones and influence ant behaviour. This presentation shows briefly the main stages involved in the execution of the project, a few influences, and some videos pilfered from various places.

You can also see the first batch of ants on flickr here.

Where am I?
