'CHOICE IS EXPENSIVE'

First things First 

Maybe this will seem like a bit like brown nosing

 ( not intended but it wont hurt right!)

my elective lecture-rer Mr Kearney who has been leading my digital environments electives at camberwell;

 is a really good lecture-rer ..

having not really understood the nature of the lectures

 (due to my tardiness last year and a lack of research)

 I turned up not sure what to expect. 

I know I was not the only one in our class to have

 found ourselves thrust in to Mr Kearney class

 like lambs to the digital slaughter.

None of it 

The lectures were engaging, interesting and above all totally relevant. How could I possibly not connect with the subject. We; I and you reading this post are all subject ( and I think mostly infantile in our knowledge and understanding) to the influences of technology on our psyche and society. Kearney eloquently explained in a language that I am familiar with,(using video and and interacting with us online the impact being online will  make in the development of the world.

Thats BIG ideas

Never mind how the internet will affect art .

How will it affect our futures (our babies!!) 

I found the digital electives informative to the point of life changing.

Having found out that the electives will be stopped after this years done leaves me feeling like fuck

how can they do that, I would never have been exposed otherwise. What about everyone else?

So here is my assessed video

for all my learned knowledge from 

Digital Environments I cannot stop

 my poor laptop from dying 

The product of my inadequacies

literally, computer broke down, I didnt know how to upload ..

just baad times ha ha

and the video I made for digital environments 

(which admittedly is a bit poo)

not as good as the one above 

 TANGENT

Those of you that know me (may) know that Im in to scifi

Frank Stella's Irregular Polygons- Chevrontastic times

 and and and 

 Mr Judd 

Awesome modernist paintings and sculpture! 

lets be fair your all most probably thinking to your self 'what the fuck?' right !

 five hours of THIS

looking at stuff like this HORRIBLE essay

I did however teach me about form and shape 

and how to interpret and understand work like the boxes and chevrons above 

GOOD DAY 

8 o'clock start tomorrow

Roll on stained glass window making :D

Space: the final frontier

HaHa  A New Year ey?! 

Well Im ready for it! LOOK out for me.. I will be posting, regularly.

Bringing you the latest in the world changing bits and pieces I cough up and shit out ;P

Last year was interesting enough, lots of ups and downs and for the most part my work has been veeerrry wishy washy.

This term though 

*stands behind a podium*

 I HAVE A PLAN

(not so much of a world changing plan as Mr I Have A Dream)

but

It should be good - soo keep watching

Heres a little photo of something I started last month and has just  dried 

I LIKE PINK! :D 

so anyway gonna do some engraving on the smooth side (cos its not so smooth, its acctually really scratched and not very nice. we're just gonna hide that)

Im not sure If what I'ma carve out will

- detract from the lovely colours and textures

-If what I intend to carve will look like, should I follow some of the line work on the painting?

 Things to think about ..... ta ta ta


look at dis !!


I swear this guy photos for American apparel

'Arse', 'weak em er kacks affa ye!' and other common Irish phrases.

These ingots of aluminium were cast from the fuselage of a decommissioned Tornado Fighter Jet -Each ingot is embossed with its individual edition number and carries the Tornado's original identification code.

 so that's at most £40 worth of aluminium, the other £460 must be all that valuable concept right ?!

I sincerely hope I am not the only one who roflcopters at this !

Aside from that... Emine went to the beach today! yay beachcombing! 

It was like 2°C - it snowed . Hardcore.

One moment of your time just to have a quick look at the local bus map( the first one I'v seen, absolutely NO way I'm taking a bus) most bus stops are just poles in the ground.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT BUSES STOP HERE !

HOW DO I KNOW WHERE THEY GO !

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?!

     

Hokay, so! beachcombing 

most of the photographs I took are of 'colours I found interesting' and 'textures I want to investigate and experiment with later' 

like this 

:D

But there's alot of it and I have bandwidth restrictions (plus you lot don't give a shit)

Me on my way to the beach

  walking along the coast, just look at that sky (Turners wet dream)

Some of the more interesting things I found

Anenamies (sp?)

they is me but aquatic

Crab (dead)

Mangled thing

(once flew?)

Yeh so I walk and walk and walk, (pick up lots and lots of seaweed)

 and end up here :

Where the red arrow is pointing on the left hand side 

  

WHAT ........Only 1,548m long pier. 

I laugh at such small distances

hahhahahahhahahahahhahhahahahahahahhahahhahahahahhahahahah

oh..... das longer dan i expect

 wtf

 okay so I underestimated that

 but I made it to the end!

See , look how happy I am at the prospect of walking back!

Really wanted to take that home with me....

Fuck you pikey bastards ......BOOM

Didn't see that one coming
did yeh!

I ended up walking 15KM today wowsa

N.B. Emine does not have any kind of animosity towards pikeys/ The Irish

mums Irish and she's ..cool in a crazy Irish way

Brown and Yellow snow. OR. How I nearly kicked the shit out of a couple of pikeys in Dun Laoghaire

So here I am, snowed in to my chain smoking (crazy ass) Irish grandmothers house (did I mention its like -1 outside and all I have is a tiny fan heater the size of a small handbag. NO CENTRAL HEATING!). 

 I stink of cigarette smoke and I'm freezing,  if only it was only a couple of months ago, I would totally be down there smokin it up with her. 

I quit too soon it seems 

48 Dargle road, where I am currently crouching over aforementioned fan heater does not in fact have home internet, neither is there a hotspot anywhere NEAR here (and no, none of my neighbours are unprotected) 

SO....emine spent however long it was walking up and down hills in the hail (which was Petit Pois size) to the nearest town centre to buy a dongle (for my sanity). 

In the town centre I was walking about minding my own business ( trying desperately to find internet!) 

 I was pelted with snow balls by a group of three teenagers

I walked over the road to where they were. stopped front of them so I could see their faces(what I can only describe as inbred looking, snaggle tooth, eyes too close together; brown paper bag jobbies) this kind of situation.

 With my best ' THE VOICE' ; If you don't fucking stop that shit, I'm gonna kick the fucking shit out of you (now to this kind of thing I would expect action, either 

of me kicking the bejasus out of their pikey arses or vice versa) they backed away. 

DID YOU SEE THAT 

emine is fucking awsome

 :D !

Thats Peckham blud

yeah

so pictures 

Even when there's a Siberian wind blowing.. shocking .....those Irish are utter pissheads 

Bait post boxes 

Me enjoying the weather
