Post tutorial expansion
A note on the apps I use and the realisation that fewer, but at depth, is better than more. I could probably collect apps for my phone and my PC indiscriminately and there have been times I’ve downloaded the same one twice, having never used it in the interim. Like a shiny thing to a magpie, these little nuggets are gold dust to my maker’s wish-fulfilment dream. But the truth is I’ve used many…

Painting in progress
Live as-it-happened video made by stitching together 30 second bursts of film taken by a Blink motion-activated security/wildlife camera. Absolutely not a how-to-paint video! The painting is currently untitled. SCH 2024

Specimen
     Our focus is narrow. What’s there? What’s there? Adjust and scan. We see. Organism. Alone. Watch. ‘What the…?’ Neela blinked, trying to penetrate the darkness. Nothing. Sit up then. Crack! Her head smacked into something hard and she dropped back down to the supine position to regroup. What was this? How had she got here? Think. It is awake, it breathes. We are interested. Neela raised…

Legacy 3.2 - Part Two: how your work meets the world
Sites I have been thinking about the degree show increasingly as, despite advice that an exhibition isn’t obligatory, this seems to be the route most people take and, from particular experience, to make gains towards their eventual grade. The possibility of gain implies the equal possibility of loss which means something other than an exhibition would have to be off-the-wall brilliant and that…

Legacy 3.2 - Part One Consolidate and Experiment
The first paragraph of this section warns against the ‘narrow focus’ and ‘head down’ approach to the final units of the degree and challenges us to be more daring, to make leaps and fresh decisions about what our painting could be. This would be music to my ears but for the fact that I’ve never been able to develop a theme with patience and perseverance and this came up as a criticism in the…

AI and Art
I’ve been writing about this for a while (essay: Doors to Inception 2023*; dissertation How old does technology have to be before we stop noticing it? 2024*), concluding that, like every implement adopted or created by artists since the first shape was made in mud by someone with a stick, AI is just another tool and we should learn how to use it. This is what ‘Jim the AI Whisperer’ says in…

Legacy 3.2 Part Three: collaboration, audience, and social media
For this project, I intend to approach a service for adults with intellectual disabilities that I know from my previous job and from which I recruited participants to an NIHR Invention for Innovation funded research project involving the virtual world platform, Second Life. It will involve making work to be ‘projected’ onto buildings or spaces in Brighton; each piece incorporating an additional…

Project Plan
Artivive it. I am drawing quite a lot here on written responses I made using the 3.2 materials I’d been sent before I became ill. These have since changed in structure and require a different approach, but as the core elements are closely related, there is a great deal in that work that is relevant to the revised unit and so I plan to publish them alongside the new sections bearing the most…

'Daniel's Level' - Eight Days of Ether
Eight Days of Ether: every day a new theme and only 24 hours to submit. Day 7 – Family Daniel’s Level. ‘The army? Him?’ Jacqui is stunned. Sophie though, is intrigued. Steve doesn’t look army, he looks – gamey. A little bit sci fi but with some fancy reality underpinning it – the US army really has been recruiting via online video games (MMOGs[1]). Virtual reality is being used in all sorts of…

3.2 Part Four - artists and writing; 2023 materials
I chose the Dissertation option last year and began writing early in 3.1 as this was an easier option than practical artwork at the time. Then, due to some confusions over what had to be submitted and when, the Dissertation vanished briefly and an unexpected essay appeared. After quite a lot of work behind the scenes, the Dissertation returned, albeit not to the 3.2 materials. The essay though…

3.2 Part Four: What shape is your practice?
What shape is my practice? Well, there’s a question! After some thought, I’m going to suggest that the shape of my practice is a function of the connections in my brain that the idea of it sets up. But what does it mean, literally and at a more intrinsic level? What does it want to know about itself or ask other parts of my brain about? And now I’m going to shift gear and refer to mind rather…
