Our six lucky participants were given the opportunity today to see rough cuts of their photos and video and listen to their edited interviews. As part of the development of the final pieces, each person was given an opprtunity to feedback to the individual artists about how the works were progressing.
Here is a photo of one of the final exhibition units. This time it’s the right way round and sporting it’s picture frame and mount. Well, it might change a little bit more…
The current prototype of the final exhibition unit is currently resident in my flat – partially for safe keeping and also to allow that extra bit of comfort whilst developing the interactivity. John and Kirsty came round today to try out the system. John brought a rough cut of some of the video footage to […]
The Creative Group have now signed off the prototype of the final exhibition units, which means that we can start ordering and building the remaining five. We’ve still got some work to do on the interactivity and software, but the main components will remain the same. The unit shown is missing the picture frame and […]
Kirsty and I have just met the designers from Burn who are going to be putting together the marketing materials for the exhibition, plus creating the all important logo.

We’ve finally given the go-ahead to produce a prototytpe of the final exhbition units. Based on a report we’ve put together that balances up everyones ideas and the costs (and budgets) involved, we think we’ve found a good solution. Now all we have to do is build one…
Today the group visited the York Neuro-Imaging Centre (YNIC) again for a refresher on MRI scanners and the OSIRIX software. Sam presented an accelerated presentation on both MRI and MEG machines at the centre and then we managed to sneak a look at the MRI machine again between scans. There seemed to be a lot […]
Today Kirsty, Damian and I gave a presentation on the project for the Wellcome Trust (one of our funders) to other people interested in doing similar projects. There was a lot of interest in the work and positive feedback.
After a recent residency at the Sonic Arts Research Centre (SARC), Queen’s University Belfast, Damian (working in the SARC Sonic Lab above) has prepared two new mixes of A Sense of Place [Revisited].
