Wearing headphones, you begin to travel across the city, the soundtrack in your ears turning the world around into your personal cinema. Suddenly a stranger stops you and puts a hand on your shoulder. Their lips don’t move but in your ears you can somehow hear their voice. It feels like telepathy as they begin to speak the words to the song that’s playing in their head…
You continue to move across the city, sometimes guided, sometimes alone; as events unfold in front of you it becomes harder to tell which are staged and which are real.

Masters of paper art and paper sculptures

To most people, making a paper plane could be one of the simplest thing to do. It’s the simplest and easiest form of paper art, for this case a flying art. However, there’s a special minority who takes thing to the next level. They can turn the basic form of origami – which is folding a paper in half – together with a little cutting, folding, bending, shaping, and more paper folding, into an utmost creative artwork you have ever seen

Big type

Not sure why, but quite like the type with completely incorrect leading. It seems to make you want to try and work out what it is about even more, just adding to the confusion of the piece of text. I see this as possibly being carved out of wood.

Playing with paper 2

A little more playing. This has the whole short story 'Babels Library' on it. Now I will look at the two surfaces when viewed from head on and from above, again using type, but on a different scale.

Playing with paper

Have skipped forward a bit here. I talked last night at uni about continuing the collage work we had done in the afternoon,  into some weaving or similar. Researching this I came across this paper sculpture work and saw a use for the steps (from the library). I will now look into putting either type or the montage imagery onto the steps. I am interested by the way the light is falling onto the steps and also how they look when light comes from behind.

A moving version (1)

So I am desperately trying to learn Final Cut to turn this braille text into a piece of music. My idea is to use only three notes, as there are only three lines in Braille. then as each dot passes through the line on screen that note would be played. Obviously, I have no idea what this will sound like, but it will represent the piece of text in audio form.
Below is an early version to give an idea, note music does not match up to visual, bit to learn on software yet.
