Three Cases of Amnesia November 26, 2009
Posted by admin in : Performance , comments closedThis could be a really interesting event for second years studying the Performance Video unit. Apologies for the short notice, just picked this up.
Award-winning choreographer Jonah Bokaer is bringing his unusual performance Three Cases of Amnesia to Alllesbrook Lecture Theatre Bournemouth University on Friday 27th 6.30pm.
The solo piece incorporates dance, 3D animation and video art and is both choreographed and performed by Jonah. It’s part of a programme of events to promote Pavilion Dance - the world-class dance centre under construction in Bournemouth Pavilion.
This is a great opportunity for anyone who is interested in dance or digital media to see something very unique. Jonah has performed worldwide and worked with Merce Cunningham – the founding father of modern American Dance – so securing his talent here is a real coup.
The Fun Theory November 26, 2009
Posted by admin in : Interactive , comments closedBottle Bank Arcade Machine
Many of us return our plastic bottles and cans. Noticeably fewer recycle their glass. Maybe that’s because we don’t get any money in return, as we do for cans and plastic. Can we change this attitude by making recycling glass fun to do? So you are not just rewarded with a good conscience, you also get a smile.
The World’s Deepest Bin
To throw rubbish in the bin instead of onto the floor shouldn’t really be so hard. Many people still fail to do so. Can we get more people to throw rubbish into the bin, rather than onto the ground, by making it fun to do?

i-Nudge November 13, 2009
Posted by admin in : Interactive, Sound , comments closedI Just cam across this from Gizmag, great fun.
“More than a little reminiscent of Yamaha’s bizarre Tenori-On, iNudge is a free online composition and sequencing tool that takes all the pesky music training out of making music. Playing with its neat grid interface, anyone can come up with funky little beats and make quirky electro tunes. It’s a product of an age where musical talent can be completely divorced from the ability to manipulate strings, wind or membranes to get a desired sound - and it’s a lot of fun. Have a try right here in your browser window, just click through.”
Please enable Javascript and Flash to view this Flash video.“To make your own, just hit the CLR button below the matrix and start filling in your own notes. There’s 8 separate instrument tracks down along the right hand side, and you can control master volume and tempo, as well as volume and pan for each of the tracks.
If you come up with something you like, you can share iNudge across all your social networks or embed it it web pages. What a nifty little app! Enjoy.”
sparkz iPhone dock doubles as a pico-projector November 13, 2009
Posted by admin in : Gadgets , comments closed
We may have to wait some time before pico-projector technology finds its way into mobile phones as a standard feature, but until then products like the sparkz iPhone/iPod dock projector will help fill the gap. The handheld 4.5” x 3” x 2.5” unit uses a 3M LcoS projection engine to throw a 640 x 480 (VGA) or 1024 x 768 (XGA) at a brightness of 15 lumens - so you’ll need to draw the curtains and dim the lights before the show starts.
