Elliot and I have just finished building a bookshelf, which will act as a book co-op in our studio at university, if you would like to take a book please leave one in its place. If this is successful we would like to build more and have them in different places around London.
Nadine Grenier, a student at ESAD Strasbourg, made this kinetic installation called “O’clock”. It is made with 500 clocksworks and every 12 hours you can read this sentence: “le temps passe, et chaque fois qu’il y a du temps passe, il y a quelque chose qui s’efface”. This is a quote from Jules Romains, a French poet, which roughly translates in “Time passes, and every time the time passes, there is something that fades”.

Varvara, myself and Elliot went to a One Dot Zero workshop a few weeks ago. When leaving we saw this installation. Amazing.
“Multi-media art and design studio troika have been commissioned by onedotzero to create an installation as part of a live multi-sensory identity representing ‘onedotzero adventures in motion’, and the theme ‘citystates’.
it will draw on the layers that form a city, playing with typography and abstract poetry. this hybrid art / communications / design project will take the form of a modern digital zoetrope: a cylindrical tower displaying a multitude of audio-visual outputs to stunning effect.

Yesterday, me and James visited a place we both love – Barbican Centre – to see an amazing interactive installation by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, who I have mentioned not so long ago. It is free and definitely worth checking out.
On entering the space, participants’ shadows are cast on the wall. Monitored by a video tracking system, each shadow tunes in to a radio frequency, changing channels as it moves around the gallery. The outline of a projected shadow affects the tuning, while its size controls the volume, thus the human body becomes an antenna able to tune into different frequencies. The resulting sound environment is a continuously evolving composition created by multiple contributors.
Rafael Lozano-Hemmer is a Mexican artist who makes amazing interactive light installations. Especially, my attention was grabbed by this one:
Pulse Room, a sensor records the pulse of the public and converts it into light flashes shown by incandescent light bulbs. At any given time the room shows the heartbeat of the 100 most recent participants.
