Luke Jerram's 'Sky Orchestra'

2009-10-21T10:30:00.002-07:00

Artist Luke Jerram's ongoing research project aims to explore how we can perceive an 'artistic experience' while we are asleep in the comfort of our own homes in the morning. Results show that many people who have had the 'Sky Orchestra' above them sleep deeper and for longer. 7 balloons each play a different part of the musical score over various cities, whether it is ambient synthesised noises, whale calls, bird songs or classical music.

Final Dictionary Drawings

2009-06-03T17:06:00.001-07:00

From being given the brief to design our own dictionary of 40 words on any subject we wanted, I decided that I wanted to use my hands and stay off the computer for a project, being fascinated by the culture in certain genres of metal of making the most illegible band logo possible I decided to chose my 40 words from songs of some of my favourite bands and from the actual band names themselves. I ended up with 40 pretty morbid words. I then started drawing a huge web that all the words would find themselves stuck in, the mesh of lines can make it impossible to find the word that you know is there, which is what I always enjoyed about these bands logos; having to decode it for yourself, and getting a kind of reward that you figured it out and now recognise the hidden letters, turning it into a game of sorts. .

These days we can look around the houses of madmen like old Fritzl; the house looks pretty oppressive anyway even from the outside, maybe it was the houses fault...

N1 Typeface

2009-01-18T17:19:00.001-08:00

A typeface I made from a map of the area I grew up in and lived in up until the start of this college year. From a detailed map of Highbury & Islington I chose streets where I often went, streets where friends lived or where I had memories. I took the basic shapes that these areas created and formed letters with them. The detail inside letters is the way the houses back on to eachother and fit together.

Sea-Rail

2009-01-18T11:48:00.000-08:00

In 1896, eccentric Brighton inventor/ local mad-man, Magnus Volks, had his vision of 'A Sea Voyage on Wheels' realised with a crazy railway that ran for 3 miles down the south coast from Brighton to Rottingdean. The vessel could carry 160 passengers and the journey took 35 mins and was described as a mixture between an open top pram-car,a pleasure yacht and a pier with a saloon bar on top. The 'Pioneer' was nearly destroyed a week later as a violent storm derailed it damaging it severely and destroyed the pier it was next to.

A year later in 1897 it reopened and that year 44,300 passengers rode the tram/boat/train even though it could only travel through incredibly shallow water otherwise it trawled through at a pathetic speed. By 1901 the line was at its end as the company that built the line had damaged the seabed making the trackbed unsafe. The vessel was left chained to a pier where it rusted away. Would be nice if we had some more crazed structural ideas happening now.

photos by Michael Cook of the storm drains around Canada, really amazing photos (click on them for bigger/more impressive size). I particularly like the one of the dude going down or coming up in the middle of suburbia and the idea that he could be entering the tunnel in the photo below...probably not though.Im getting closer to unearthing some information about where to enter the ones I've read about under London then its down under for Max, Jack and I.

Hidden Tunnels, Disused Tube Stations of London

2008-11-25T10:26:00.000-08:00

The network of tunnels below London is an ongoing line of interest.There is this maze of dark passageways,disused tube stations,rooms,bunkers (apparently government ones with names like Icarus that lie deep below Westminster).There are rumours of entrances to these tunnel systems at the base of bodiceas statue which runs to Blackfriars then to the Bank of England and a disguised trap door next to the Half Price ticket store in Leicester Sq which goes down to an electricity sub-station.In the 1980s a journalist for The New Statesmen descended 100 feet from an access shaft on a traffic island in Bethnal Green to a government bunker with his folding bicycle that stretched all the way to Whitehall and then split to go to Waterloo(under the river), Fleet St, Leicester Sq and the Post Office Tower.

I thought this photo summed up what I was taking photos of at the Dogs; the retired racing dogs who were there looking for new homes whilst watching the races longingly.

The Dogs is a bit of a timewarp, you don't really imagine much has changed there in a good decade or two,the Bookies probably wear the same clothes, the interiors won't have changed and the same kind of people probably still come to bet as they did back then.
