June 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Profero have teamed up with New York urban artist Paul Notzold to create two events for Channel 4’s Disarming Britain season. The events will show Paul’s work projected onto the side of buildings around London showing images relating to street crime accompanied by questions such as “How can we get weapons off our streets?” encouraging the public’s response. The public are invited to text in their answers which are displayed in real-time alongside the image. The events will be held in Brick Lane on 26th June and Shepherd’s Bush on 27th June between 9:30pm and 11:00pm For more information on Channel 4’s Disarming Britain week click here.
The O2 memory project
April 20, 2008 | 2 Comments
So Saturday I hoped down to the Southbank for an afternoon of awesomeness with Charlie, Priyanka, Sam and Charles to see the O2 Memory Project. The instillation created by Jason Bruges, camera-captures panoramic movements and stores them within it’s digital memory bank inside. You can then go inside the instillation and see images that it has taken and here’s some for the photo album from Team Awesome
Although the project is a great idea, it wasn’t executed as well as I would have hoped however, we managed to add an additional BOOM (as Sam would say) to the project. After leaving the instillation, we went to the Hayward Gallery to see what other toys we could play with and stumbled upon these little cardboard camera’s that you put over the lens of your camera to make your photo’s a little more interesting.
Now OK these images didn’t come out as well as we had hoped when we put them over the memory project, but below you can see the effect it’s supposed to create below.
