I wrote this application for the Platform ’09 live art event back before I knew I was ill, but I was definitely suffering from all of the symptoms that would later see me hospitalised. I checked with a few people I knew, and found out that at least two of the people on the Platform [...]

I’m pleased to announce that I’ll be undertaking a residency at 25 Stratford grove this August, where I’ll be working with juggling. We had a brief run-through and experimentation with what you can do with juggling balls and a room full of artists on Sunday, when Carole Luby hosted an artists crit group. We spent some [...]

Above: Heaton Park, last weekend. Like I said in my last post, I was back in Newcastle at the weekend. Luck had it that I came back for a scorchingly hot few days, and the local park became full of people. On one side of the park, there were families playing, a bowling green, and a coffee [...]

The grandiose title of this piece could be read as a sign that I’m going to write about things other than relevant to the course. In general, I’m going to steer clear [...]

This weekend, over at Newcastle’s Maker Faire, I heard that the guys from the Arduino Project were planning something new. Well, according to a post over at Lady Ada‘s site, this is it: Wow. That’s one big card. I don’t have a use for something like this, but the picture turned up on a robotics [...]

I’d like to say I’m looking forward to it, but it’s an unashamed truism in my family that we look gift horses in the mouth. In fact, we’d look any form of gift animal in the mouth, because animal dentistry is expensive. They just don’t see the positive sides. Back when I had a tv, [...]

This blog entry might not look like a lot, but there is a fair amount of words to chew through in the linked files. project-proposal-dm-pete-hindle-v2 weeks-project feasibility-study 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 [...]
