Contour lines...
Digitally filming the pin striped fabric creates a diffusion of strange contour lines as the camera and screen attempt to make sense of the surface.

Yorkshire Lions.
Today I learnt how amazing my housemates are, not that I didn't already know that. They defended me when a man was being incredibly rude and horrible to me, so I am trying to concentrate on that rather than the horribleness as it makes me feel awful and essentially did upset me a lot and tainted my day.
However, I did find the professional development talks today very interesting and helpful.

Flat Time House
we may potentially be exhibiting in flat time house, a gallery set up in the home of John Latham. This could be a great opportunity to create site specific work...

ANGLE GRINDING'S NOT FOR GIRLS
I lied, it's so fun... but I decided it would just be far too time consuming and essentially pointless (as the grinder makes the surface rougher) for me to give my table box the rough treatment as I am intending to cover it anyway. I think I'll just file the rust and spray paint it!

INSIDE THE BOX.
Callum and I did a collaborative life drawing piece from inside my metal frame, it was an exciting and bizzare experience. The end result is rather gruesome, Callum used ink which sparked my use of a scalpel and thus the drawing became a massacre. We moved the drawing board around the frame and at one point had the paper upside down. Many of the marks relate to our own bodies in the space as well as that of the life model.
I also asked the life model to do a pose in the frame and I sat so that I had to look through the frame to draw.

Welding... a-ling
I'm so proud of myself. I have never welded before and now I have a nice frame and my little balsa wood frame seems to have taken a liking to it. Welding is exciting, but scary.

Getting out of bed. (quickly)

High Society
Thought I see what was on at the Welcome Collection- the Medicine Now exhibition is still running and the new show downstairs (at the entry/street level) is about drugs.
.... I couldn't help but think most of the people at the exhibition were walking around reminiscing about their own experiences while viewing the records of others'. I was quite impressed by the variety of ways drugs/drug use/drug culture etc had been explored and found my wander around to be fairly stimulating. I enjoyed the immersive works- there was a piece consisting of a bright light with a rotating shade that was quite mesmerising.

Authenticity
Walter Benjamin 'The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction' (1936)
What is the relationship between photography and tradition?
What is aura?
What's the relation of the mechanical reproduction of artwork to politics?
What do you think Walter Benjamin means by politics?
WB makes very strong claims...have his claims been proven correct?...if not, why?
Ritual cult value vs exhibition value
Authentic vs mechanical reproductions --- > destroys tradition?
<---------------/
destroys
without one the other cannot/does not exist- each requires the other to be defined.
the reproductions from if there is no original. Without the duplicates the authentic 'original' in simply an object with nothing from which to differentiate itself- the reproductions highlight the originals originality and authenticity.

MASKED BOX.
I googled the two words to get me started, these are the first images for each word.
For me, the word mask immediately brings to mind masking tape and the idea of it covering something or repairing something.
