last wednesday marked a milestone in my pursuit of a graduate degree in creative practice for narrative environments at central saint martins. the entire graduating class was required to hand in and defend their final project. it was a challenging final presentation as the external examiner, all tutors and the entire class were present to bear witness. what was most interesting to me was the paths of development undertaken ...

for the past couple weeks the team and i have been working hard getting our multitouch video/installation/performance interface to an alpha state, and meet our march 12th deadline. this has definitely been the most difficult personal project i have worked on, as i feel much of the development depends on the diverse skills, knowledge and background of my teammates. some of the hardest decisions to make are simply ...

monday marked a milestone of good intentions, as 2nd year students from the 2008 graduating (pending) class of my MA degree hosted schematic proposals for our final project. i was lucky enough to grab a good spot to present (last before the first brake) but was still stoopid nervous at trying to pitch my project in front of both years of the program, the program director, the guest ...

fitting that the final project for the first year of my MA degree involves working with fellow worshippers of the mightiest of all the of pantheon of gods, King Pendopoo. joining karin, alex and i on this final project is violeta and niki; video artist and scenographer, respectively. the brief for this particular project involved generating sustainable and lasting dwell time within Granary Square, which happens to ...

shit fuck god damn. it has taken me three months to reflect upon the recent quasi-disaster that was the abake prescribed, three part project, the zeitgeist heist. since posting about the first two elements of the project, team dynamics have run-a-muck, and the last group dinner/brainstorming session ended up in a... shall we say, heated discussion, at best. after a particularly critical reaction from the panel during ...
