DMP Showreel May 6, 2010
Posted by admin in : Uncategorized , comments closedHello All,
I have been assigned to create a new Showreel for the course and would like to get as much variety of work as I can. Could you please bring in your work on a data dvd with all your best bits (this can be 1st, 2nd or 3rd year work) in the highest quality possible.
Please leave the DVD’s on my desk (next to Phils office) with your name clearly labeled. Also if you have created any music yourself I would be very interested in using this as a backing track.
I need this work ASAP so we can get it ready to put on the site.
Thank You
Jay
P.S. please pass the word around.
professional development tutorials April 14, 2010
Posted by admin in : Uncategorized , add a commentHi all 3rd years. Hope you had a good Easter break. In the next few weeks I will be seeing each of you for in-depth tutorials about where you go next in the professional digital media design and production world. I want to talk to you about your aspirations – what you want to do, and about how best to achieve your aspirations. We will be constructing the best possible personal branding and promotional plan and making sure that your CV is professional, your portfolio/showreel/website is market-ready, and that your personal development plan explores all the possible options you should consider. Could you make sure that you are in AUCB tomorrow so that we can have a preliminary chat, and begin to sketch-out a personal plan for this module.
best
Bob Cotton

Walking in My Mind September 1, 2009

An exhibition I really enjoyed was Walking in My Mind at the Hayward Gallery.
“Walking in My Mind explores the inner workings of the artist’s imagination through immersive, large-scale installation art. Ten international artists transform the Hayward Gallery’s indoor galleries and outdoor sculpture terraces into a series of gigantic sculptural environments, each of which represents an individual mindscape. Interior worlds of emotions, thoughts, memories and dreams collide with exterior reality, blurring the boundaries between inner and outer space.”
Artists include:
Charles Avery, Thomas Hirschhorn, Yayoi Kusama, Bo Christian Larsson, Mark Manders, Yoshitomo Nara, Jason Rhoades, Pipilotti Rist, Chiharu Shiota and Keith Tyson.
I thought this was a really nicely curated exhibition that made excellent use of the Hayward space. At times it was difficult to relate the exhibition to the usual inner space of the gallery. The exhibition provoked many interesting problems about how an artist can portray the inner workings of the human mind and where ideas come from.

Posted by admin in : Uncategorized , add a commentOver the summer I went to Bristol to view the Banksey exhibition. It has received a lot of attention in the press and people have been queuing for up to 4 hours to get in.I must have been lucky as i only had to wait 40 minutes (great). I had mixed feelings about the exhibition, there were a lot of nice ideas in the work on display but afterwards I was left feeling fairly nonplussed by the exhibition and that the work was very superficial. I accept that a lot of people rate Banksey’s work though so here are a number of images from the exhibition.
