More Adventures in motion!

So I finished my week interning at Onedotzeros Adventures in motion festival. It was great fun and a really good experience. I got to try my hand at all different aspects of the festival from manning the information desk, looking after artists in the green room and manning the installations we had going on around the building. 

 By far my favourite was manning the festival identity installation which was created by Wieden and Kennedy and powered by Nokia. By using the new Nokia N900 you can enter your message using the keypad on the phone which is then projected onto a screen, then by using any of the three functions, tilt, shake or touch, you can manipulate your message on screen. 

You can also zoom in and out and pause the live feed that comes in from the internet and forms the ribbons that write your message. This feed comes from twitter etc about onedotzero and the festival. I had to demonstrate the installation by using it and encourage members of the public to come and interact by having ago themselves.

Adventures in motion

So as of Monday the 7th I am an intern helping with onedotzero's "Adventures in motion festival" at the BFI Southbank. Yesterday was the launch party so I was carrying in the deliveries, helping to set up the lights, stock the bar, put up posters and other general things to help out. When the party kicked off I laid up the cupcakes with the glue london logo on them and manned the cloakroom. The party looked really cool once it was all in full swing, it was in Village underground just of great eastern street which is a really great venue with tube trains on the roof! Which are hired out as studios. If you want to see more look on their site for pictures and info:

Language

For my summer project we have the theme of "language" We have to come up with ten categories around the definition of language. One of the categories that I came up with is community as language can be specific to a community. So I took images of Brick Lane where the signs come in English and Arabic/ Hindi? For both sides of the community in the area.
