Research Paper Thoughts and Background

Research Paper 3 – Thoughts, Background and Final Version That’s it – no more!  Yesterday and today became the ‘final straw’ with my research paper!  Why? Because yesterday my ‘dying’ on its ‘last legs’ MacBook Pro decided that it was going to literally lose all of my research papers and drafts.  I know it’s somewhat unbelievable but this actually happened! Months of hard work seemed to have disappeared in front of my eyes.  The files were no longer there!  I tried opening programs that I had used to construct the last version of my paper, but it was always the same message ‘File cannot be found’. I even convinced my self that there was some evil hacker trying to sabotage my work, that’s how upset I was.  At one point I even thought I must be having a nightmare and that I would wake up soon. As I had been editing the document in Adobe’s PDF editing program I thought to myself, ‘Ha’ there will be a copy stored in Adobe’s creative cloud.  So, feeling somewhat smug, I looked at my recent documents there, only to discover that on opening my research paper it gave an error message saying ‘bad […]

Time of the Signs

A Physical Derive – Shortly after we had our Zoom Session 18 I decided to try out the concept of a physical derive.  My DSLR camera was at work, so I headed out armed with only my smartphone.  I had no preconceived ideas about where my walking or my thoughts would take me, I just decided to physically wander. On reaching the end of my street I was greeted by the huge sign for our local Funeral Director plus a plethora of road traffic cones and more signs around it.  I began to wonder about signs? At first I thought about taking photographs of purely negative signs, but then I thought, what about information overload?  Even in a short walk to the end of my street I had already encountered many signs packed with information.  I began to wonder what the ratio would be between negative and prohibitive signs and more positive and informative signs? Brixham is a small town and in my opinion ‘rammed to the rafters’ with signs, would a busy city centre be better or worse as a comparison in terms of signage? Then I began to wonder if there was a correlation between the variety and […]

Clocks and Carrier Bags

Time as a Fourth Dimension – Before I go any further, I really need to present this video with sound.  The sound is incredibly important, because it adequately and eloquently sums up the disaster that is currently all of my technological devices!  Every computer or device I own is creaking at the seams! The video I created below actually sums up how it feels! No words needed.   Technology Gone Bad     I subtitled this blog ‘Time as a Fourth Dimension’ – I’m not actually going to discuss time as a fourth dimension here, but I do think it sounds great as a subtitle. It’s relevance will become apparent further into this blog.  In a previous blog I responded to the work of Vilde Rolfeson.  I also had a number of conversations with ChatGPT in the making of the digital pieces presented there.  These were inspired by her work.  I always felt that her work around the plastic bag landscape offered a myriad of experimental possibilities.  Therefore I decided that I would continue with more experimentation based on this. During my conversations with ‘Ai’ I asked for programs to gently destruct or disrupt an image.  After a number of […]

Ai Workshop

The Robots are Coming and They Are Dressed in Lace – I really enjoyed the workshop today called the ‘Robots are coming and They are Dressed in Lace’.   I have discovered that I’m actually quite interested in ‘Ai’ text to image generators like Dalle-2 and Stable Diffusion and Midjourney.  So any information, workshops, scholarly papers etc. are always most welcome. What I particularly liked about the session was the thinking behind it.  Firstly, we were all introduced to Midjourney and how to use it.  Luckily I was already used to using the software, so it was pretty easy to get started.  However, producing images was only part of the exercise.  Jonathan explained that once we had produced our images they needed to be added to a Google Docs page along with our names, the text prompts that we used to generate our images and how we felt about the results.  At the end of the exercise all of the images along with their text prompts and creator information was printed out and put into a black archival quality box. We all know that because these tools are free it is probably fair to say, that we, as users are […]
