These files relate to the ongoing work of Unnamed Laboratory, and to my coursework within the Digital Media unit. As such, they are here as much for reference as for reading. If [...]

As you read this, I’ll be flying to Berlin for the annual New Media bash, Transmediale. I’m not that interested in the actual main event, which although having some interesting content, is far too reliant upon art institutions sending out curators and other organisers in the hope that they’ll pick [...]

I came across the website http://www.bitsbox.co.uk/ the other day, and I was just so tempted by the piles of electrical componants they had that I floundered into capitalism. Just doing my bit to support the economy.

However, with that hand in comes the period where I can actually readjust and get back to work. And I kind of think that there is [...]

Part two of some, which seem to be slightly rambly. Oh well. Better out than in.
Before I get going here, let’s just take a minute out to think about the image creators of the world. I’m not talking about painters, or any other type of specific mileau, but rather just the general act of creating [...]

Part one of some, in which you can read me espousing in a generalised year-end type way.
The other day, a very clever man explained to me about careers and learning curves. He was saying that every two years we complete another learning curve, take a look around at the career we’ve been having, and say [...]
