The Opening Night. Aftermath...




The opening night was indeed a success.

All up i ended up taking a whopping 1016 photos that calculated to be just a little bit over 10 GB. Awesome. I would like to thank all of you for participating in my work and making it a total success. I hope you all had fun.

I thank you for having your picture taken, taking your own personal photos of yourself and others inside the space, looking at the pictures on the all of other people who had been in the space previously and even looking at others had fun overall. i really thank you.

Without your interactivity the work would have not been possible.

The photos, as i have said to some people WAS going to be uploaded by Monday. However... 1027 photos is impossible to upload on this small blog spot so i ask for your patience and the photos will be released by MONDAY 1st DECEMBER 2008. I encourage you to take them and share them with others on your face books and store them in your hard drives. Please also do not hesitate to ask me by email for the original larger sizes. (It is better to print in larger sizes)

Once again thank you for your participation. I hope to see you guys again on my camera sometime in the near future. and remember 1st Dec come back to see your photos!

The Opening Night.


Today is the 21st of November. The Day of our UWS 2008 GRADSHOW.

Tonight will be the launching of my work.
I will be taking a series of surveillance photographs of people who come in my space and play. I will print some photos and stick them up on the wall during the course of the night. Most of the photos will be continually uploaded on this blog space during 6-9pm tonight.

YOUR DIGITAL IMAGE WILL STREAM THROUGH NETWORKS AND DIGITAL DATA.
AND SOMEONE WILL BE WATCHING.

Orgeltanz

My friend is mixing the album for an indie band in Korea called Orgeltanz. They are influenced with Turkish music.. which is interesting... The lead singer is Korean but raised in turkey.... so she sings in both languages.. Their sound is accordion and violin influenced. totally interesting. It really sets the weird kooky atmosphere of my space. So i contacted the producer of Orgeltanz in which he authorised me to play their not yet released album in another country. (i am totally grateful and honoured!)

I have discovered the most interesting site called http://photofunia.com/

You submit your image and using face detection technology it interlaces it to blend into the original image. Truly.... astonishing. Props to Sylvia who showed me this site!
