We have been set a 1 week project to produce a site specific piece of work. The bulk of the brief is as follows:
Concept: How do we define a site? This might be physical - particular architectural spaces or landscapes in both the natural and man-made environment: indoors or outdoors, academic, public or social space. Other aspects of sites are the bodies, communities and personalities that inhabit them. Sites may be obscure or ephemeral - eg. a pocket, a hidden corner, a puddle. Equally the 'site' might be virtual, electronic, where the local is connected to the global. Your work might be generated out of the site itself, or could be a 'sited' development of a previous theme in your work, or might be entirely new. Media and methods are open but should be appropriate to the work and situation.

Today I began developing a personal project. The project will be a continuation of my earlier work Quartertone. However, rather than developing a software mirror, I want to begin experimenting with motion detection and interactive art.

Today I went to the Media Lab open day here at MMU. The course sounds really impressive and, judging by the work the students have produced, this could be a natural progression for me from my current course. Media Lab is divided into four pathways: Photography, Filmmaking, Media Arts and Film & Media Studies.

Last week I met with Andrea Zapp, who is the programme leader for Media Lab. The upshot of this was being offered the opportunity to join a group project to create a permanent kinetic sculpture for the reception area of the new building here at MMU. The sculpture will take the form of a glockenspiel clock (examples below), but rather than being time based, the sculpture will be fed by data which is gathered from different areas of the building.

In the exhibition Ford Madox Brown: Pre-Raphaelite Pioneer, there was a painting entitled Manfred on the Jungfrau which was inspired by Byron's dramatic poem Manfred. Most notably:
