http://www.squidsoup.org/blog/

Squidsoup is an international group of artists, researchers and designers (UK/NO/NZ) working with digital and interactive media experiences. Our work combines sound, physical space and virtual worlds to produce immersive and emotive headspaces where participants can take active control of their experience. We explore the modes and effects of interactivity, looking to make digital experiences where meaningful and creative interaction can occur.

Squidsoup is an open group of collaborators, whose main members are:

Anthony RoweAnthony Rowe has around 15 years experience in digital media and interaction design; as an artist, designer, teacher and researcher.

Gaz BushellGame Developer, Digital Artist and Lecturer. Gaz has led the programming on squidsoup projects for over 11 years. His background in Sculpture is the seed of his interest in the tangibility of real and virtual space.

Chris BennewithBefore undertaking his role as Head of Institute of Communication Design at Massey University’s College of Creative Arts, Chris was the Head of the Department of Design at the Newport School of Art, Media and Design in the UK.

On Kawara, 'One Million Years'

On Kawara’s mad epic sculpture–performance One Million Years. 

The Japanese-born, New York–based artist’s rarely seen work is centered around a desk and two chairs in a windowed booth at the center of the gallery. Two volunteers sit inside the room. One man and one woman take turns reading progressive dates going one million years into the future or into the past.

Installation/Interaction

Forthe next third year project we will be creating Installation works.  These have the option to be interactive or not so the section on interactivity is included below.

Site Specific Installation

In this project you will be required to make a new work which takes into account the physical space in which it is presented.  This can either be a site specific work or an installation that is set up in a gallery type space.  You will be required to consider how the exterior (analogue) components either chosen or already present in the space influence the reading of the intervention you have created.  This project has the potential to be collaborative and you may choose to work with someone either because the size or complexity of the work warrants it or because you would like to make use of a peer’s particular skill in a different discipline.

Collaboration must be thoroughly motivated and clearly demonstrated in the amount of work part taken by each party!

Dates and time for presentation will be considered in relationship to your needs, the nature of the work and possibly the availability of staff to view your installation.  It may be possible due to the nature of your work that you will have to submit documentation of the work rather than the work itself for assessment.  It is therefore important that staff see the work in its original state during the term. 

Remember you have limited time for this project so if you can see ways in which this project may develop, make a simplified version and save a more elaborate version for the second half of the year when you can develop it more fully.

Time Line: 18 April – 23 May


You may want to include some kind of interactivity, whether it be the clicking of a mouse, a stimulation of an electronic sensor or a simple viewer presence in a virtual, theatrically constructed installation is another core principle of DA work.

Interactivity in your artwork may manifest in many different ways.  We will discuss in class some of the potential pitfalls of such work and the understanding of the platforms of work in which one may best expect a viewer to interact with the work.

Just a few things to look at.  Please post more to share...

Installation using boxes to create the sound of rain

Rain Room by Random International

Rain Room by Random International

This is so great it bums me out. 

"Rain Room is a hundred square metre field of falling water through which it is possible to walk, trusting that a path can be navigated, without being drenched in the process.

As you progress through The Curve, the sound of water and a suggestion of moisture fill the air, before you are confronted by this carefully choreographed downpour that responds to your movements and presence."

Clock Installation

http://mashable.com/2013/03/11/clock-art/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=feedburner&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Mashable+%28Mashable%29

"The clocks escape from its solely pragmatic existence," the artists said in a press statement. "Usually locked in its functionality to show the time, there is another natural character inherent in an analogue clock. With its two arms rotating around the center, a clock always dances in slow motion. Shaping out this hidden quality, without denying a clocks primary purpose, was our goal."

Real and Unreal

Before I was shot, I always thought that I was more half-there than all-there—I always suspected that I was watching TV instead of living life. People sometimes say that the way things happen in movies is unreal, but actually it's the way things happen in life that's unreal. The movies make emotions look so strong and real, whereas when things really do happen to you, it's like watching television—you don't feel anything. Right when I was being shot and ever since, I knew that I was watching television. The channels switch, but it's all television. 

-Andy Warhol

Series Project

A primary focus of much DA work is the exploration of the 4th dimension of perception: Time.

As with painting (which is particularly concerned with 2D surface) and sculpture (which explores chiefly 3D space), DA whether it is digital print (potential for editioned work), interactive media or video closely examines the 4th Dimension (time)whether it be sequential images, the narrative of filmic or sound pieces or the delayed potentially concurrent realities of an interactive work. 

For your first work you will be making something which uses Time as both its medium and its conceptual starting point.  You may choose to work in any medium for example a series of photoshoped images displayed as prints; a series of videos, a single video or sound piece that conceptually considers time and its perceptions, an interactive work using code: either html or flash.

You may make use of original created (drawn or collage) material that you scan in, found items, found footage, original footage drawn from real life, original photographs or staged filmed performance.

Recommended Software: Photoshop and/or Flash and or Final Cut Pro

TimeLine: 13  February – 7 March

Crit: 7 March

Other House Keeping Issues

Computer Booking

Given that there are now, more than ever the number of DA Students it is very important that you book time to use the machines.  One can no longer rely on finding one’s work space empty so please book and use you time effectively. 

Class time will often be used to discuss projects or concepts so one can not rely on dedicated class time to complete projects.

See Booking Forms above Each Machine.  Please be considerate and not book more than a three hour slot at a time.

Equipment Booking

Cameras are available from Ziyaad.  Please consult with him Re: Booking and collection times.  There is limited equipment so please do not take things out for times in which you don’t intend to use them.  We need to set the limit of the amount of time you may have the equipment at a stretch.  At present this is two days but may be negotiated with me depending on your need and others wishing to use the cameras.

Documenting your Processes

Apart from the visual diary with which you should now be familiar, I wish to introduce you to two useful tools of which I hope you will make use.

The first is the class blog the second is Del.Icio.Us (an online bookmarking system).  The idea behind these is to instil in you the convenience of working within the online environment as well as the process of tracking your own and your peers development.

All students need to have a Gmail account which we will use for blogger, Google documents and Google Calendar.

Please email me your Gmail so we can get started with our online environment.
