The sleepless weeks and months all paid off. I opened my results on Thursday and got a first. Very pleased.

The end of an era

So its all coming to a close. We handed in, put up our show, had our exhibition opening (possibly the best night ever). It has been so fun. Now its getting sad that the end is so near.

Modern Mozart

Tuning done to a t. This is truly amazing - modern day Mozart. Very inspiring for my glass bottles/typewriter invention.

Circus

I adore Alexander Calder's circus. I watched the film again last night to remind myself how fascinating documenting by film can be. I had been filming myself making the typewriter contraption all day. Calder is has a far more mechnical mind than  ever will. Amazing.

I wanted to make my typewriter sing in order to have the stories written (for the Perception project) make music as I type them out (making the ordinary extraordinary). So my typewriter was tied with thread to wooden sticks that were, in turn tied with elastic to glass bottles. It does work, but is certainly not hi-tec. 

So, now I just have to make the whole alphabet make music. Easy. That is my wednesday task. 

Wheel's whistle-stop tour

The wheel had quite a day. I took it out and about to get people to interact with it - children seem very taken with the spinning and bright colours. Got some good photographs which are to be used in my degree show exhibition. Success I think.
