Open_Sailing at CCCB

I just found this video that the CCCB made whilst we were running a workshop in Barcelona last year. It was the end of the day, after a lot of running around, playing games, hunting for rubbish and making models with about 50 people. The room was really really hot and we could only really do one take before we all passed out...

Which reminds me – I might as well take this opportunity to post photos from the CCCB workshop:

Hands

Which reminded me of my favourite instructional video:

Which reminded me of an awesome safety video instructional mashup:

Which uses footage from archive.org - which is where I first came across Cab Calloway (animated by the incredible Fleischer Brothers):

Who also appeared in the Muppets:

Reactive vertebrae is a biomimetic series of mehanical sculptures which react to the atmospheric conditions around them. A series of dangling, spine-like forms inhabit an area, and, like a flower, position themselves to follow the sun’s movements over the course of a day. Prototypes mimic a variety of animal mechanisms, such as woodlice and snakes.

Design + video: Ollie Palmer

Music: Mirror Fun by Lucky Dragon

Bartlett Summer Show

Friends, Romans, Countrymen, do come along to the Bartlett Summer Show this year. Colloquially known as Bartfest, it's a huge celebration of the work that Bartlett students do, with over 450 students showing innovative drawings, models, devices, texts, animations and installations. I've seen the Unit 14 work up-close and can verify that there's a cracking selection this year.
