Almost finished version

and the final version, with corrected ladderman shadow (after being told off on that social network we all love so much). I suppose you can always take trolling as a mean for potential and/or development. An elegant poster for a stoner band is how I perceive this poster.

2012-01-20T09:06:00.003Z

I stayed up last night doing this poster for some mates (twelve hours straight). The characters were drawn by Mr. Alejandro De La Strontzo, in a moment of divine inspiration (having already thrown away most preliminary sketches). It was an interesting experience, had loads of help and suggestions from night inklings that also kept me awake and focused on finishing. If you're somewhere near, you wouldn't want to miss this party. Two brilliant people putting together tunes that will get you up on your dancing feet. Yay, children...

Blossoming

From this morning

From last night

The top one was taken this morning before I left for work. By night time, I kept taking frequent rounds to see when they would start blossoming. Apparently, they are quite shy and in a conspired movement, five from three different cacti were in full blossom. It is a beautiful spectacle.

A week before the Queen of the Night (Nightblooming Cereus) graced us with a beautiful flower a little bit before midnight. Unfortunately, I missed the blossoming (see aforementioned shyness) while visiting Bizarrius who was kind enough to come and take a photograph before the sun cracked and burned the poor fella. Madame Cereus usually blossoms once a year when the moon is full, yet, the event described took place a few days before the moon was full. She was kind enough to present another flower a couple of nights after the full moon of the 15th (heck, she must have thought, if this moon eclipse takes place every hundred years or so, I might as well pop another one out).
Here is the picture I took of the second flower, half as spectacularé as the one Bizarrius took but fantastic considering how that thin branch can mount a wall three meters high and hold a flower so many times its weight. [We make the association to human birth, among other things].

There are periods where everyone wants everything now, and this is one of them. In some cases there is also lack of honesty - simply being straightforward.

Some people, and I imagine they belong to the aforementioned class, go through these phases with ease. They stroll right through. And others, tend to disappear; even briefly, even if they are liable to deliver written, cover story material. I envy those who manage to pull the trick and never be found and would like to ask them how - if ever I got the chance *sigh*.

The paragraphs preceding this one, have not been an introduction to this link, which is still in its fruition stages requiring some fine tuning here and there. Yes, Savino Live Venue and Savino Rock Bar are catching up with technological advancements and the demands of the digital era by publishing a website. Soon, bands will be able to check out the equipment and apply for a gig, music lovers and/or alcoholics shall have the opportunity to make their reservations online. There will be videos and photos (a heavy load of them actually since the proprietor of these fine establishments tends to be somewhat trigger happy with the camera). And what greater chance to see all posters of events created by yours truly gathered together. I am also responsible for sustaining the website, a process that will surely prove invaluable - I am sure.

A look of disapproval and rejection was given when I said to a person, upon being introduced as an artist, that I work mainly using a computer. There was a moment of defensiveness as I tried to explain that it can be just as hard. Irritating, would be a more appropriate word, as sometimes the 'digital artist' is left with nothing of her creation, unlike the painter or sculptor. Or, this can be seen as a commonality where either just needs to start over again.

Today was the first day at work. The capital is empty at a quarter to seven with only the last of the food chain appearing now and again, then hurriedly disappearing. I enjoyed a double Cyprus coffee at the only place that was open in the area. The man serving me appeared to be blind in one eye, with poor coordination so that when I passed him the coin it almost fell to the floor. He did make a damn good coffee, then returned to his solitaire while I read about fascist Marinetti, Cabaret Voltaire and Edgar Varése.
Poetic, unlike the rest of the day where I reveled in advertising campaigns, and failed to produce four simple ads to my satisfaction. Which led me coming home and starting over. At least the environment and people are nice, helpful and supporting to someone who felt like a fish out of water. Or is it a fish in a BP oil spill, Bill?
While revising the ads, I rendered a few more images of the same 'piece' I've been working on. Different lighting setups etc. Still undecided on which works best, I am posting the two most preferable.

The Zilla Project are one of those classic blues bands and will be performing at Savino Live Music Venue come Saturday. I only saw them once before and absolutely fell in love with their drummer. The man is truly a smooth cat with all the jive and mojo required to perform the blues. Not to undermine the rest of the band who are also skillful top notch musicians. Enough deviations, the above image is a poster I created for the night, based around (whatever else) the blues/jazz theme. I begun making the outlines of the guitarist and had a cable leading down to form the band's name. It appeared that the cable formed the shape of an ear and some attempts were made to make it more evident. Eventually the idea was abandoned and more fluid shapes were added. Now the cable is not obvious but nevertheless I am quite happy with it. yay children.

Welcome to the Machine

2010-04-27T11:46:00.003+01:00

Having graduated from a full time course almost two years ago, I joined a part-time masters course at the same university. The Council, having the graduates best interests at heart immediately sent a Council Tax arrears notice for the amount of £845 - including a 25% discount for living with a full-time student. It should be noted that the full-time student is also my girlfriend, or was until a couple of days ago. I decided it was a good idea to inform the council that I was unemployed, received some support from family members to make ends meet and thus was unable to cough up the amount required.

Polite as they were, they informed me that there was no possible way for me to avoid paying the amount in full or in one installment. Overcoming my initial excitement of choices, I repeated that I do not have the extra cash and was unable to pay. Joyfully, they informed me that I had to fill out an application for housing benefit. A housing benefit is given to people of no or low income to assist them in paying the rent. Of course this was not what I was after, but no matter how I explained it, it all run down to filling the application. In between the process several other letters arrived with a final letter with authoritative, bold, large letters spelling "COURT SUMMONS". Initially, the thought of going to court sounded novel and I have always been intrigued by wigs - this was my opportunity to be part of something.

My application was rejected - how sad.

The nice people at the Council took up the liberty in explaining in detail, crossing the t's and dotting the i's, the reasons why I was not entitled to housing benefit [Reason for Calculation: Person from Abroad]. For a fraction of a second I forgot which party was in power, and I quickly checked with my new god...in contradiction, the british national party does not appear to be in power after all. Another envelope is received. It has a nice covering letter by a Ms. Something. She writes, ...if I am entitled to benefit then she will need to issue a National Insurance Number on my behalf. Soon another letter follows that speaks of not being allowed to have a NI number since I do not have plans of staying in the UK. I was pleased to see that my letter to them was well read and understood, as I had explained that I would remain in the UK after my graduation if I was able to get a job that covered my living expenses.

Having sorted all the above, I made a phone call to the council regarding my Court Summons, once again repeating myself in how I am unemployed, a part-time student and unable to pay that amount.
I am asked whether I am entitled to work and live in the UK.
They receive my positive reply.
Am I sure?
Yes, I am.
They inform me I have to go through the immigration office.
I refrain myself.
Thoughts of class struggle intensify the anger which is swallowed down to form a mild tumor in a few years time. Instead, I calmly educate my interlocutor: Cyprus is part of the European Union therefore I need not go through immigration but have a lawful right to work and live in the UK. Referred as a sir, I am interrupted to be told that I do have to go through immigration. The thought passes my mind that recording phone calls for training purposes is a myth and hang up.

I call another person from the council who is much more polite and in astonishment, is actually listening to what I have to say. I am, in his words, what they call in England "Caught between a rock and a hard place". There's no way of avoiding paying Council Tax even though my claims are legit. The advice is to do what other foreign students who have just graduated but are yet unemployed and have to pay council tax: ask my parents to lend me the money. I followed the advice and spoke with a computer software over the phone that guided me through the payment process.

The next day I called the job center and told them I wanted to get a National Insurance number. We talked briefly on the phone and they gathered my information. They gave me a date for the next day to go for an interview. The interview was done by a kind ol' lady who seemed to glide beyond the mundane question marks and onto more humane areas of interest such as whether I had been accustomed to the cold weather in the UK, what, coming from the nice warm weather of Cyprus. I wonder whether she had better training into being human than the younger people I talked to over the phone. But it appears humanity derives from something other than training. The lady tells me I should have my national insurance proof by a couple of weeks time and the actual card in a months time. And so it happened. Apparently, I am not a person from abroad after all and I needn't go through immigration. Well, that was enlightening, but I wonder how come other people from the Council told me so. Surely this is no confusion. It cannot be for then the authority might make...mistakes? No, surely that was not the case.

For the next few weeks I fall into depression. I would wake up every day and run to the door hoping to find a letter from the council thanking me for the payment. Nothing. Every single morning at eight o'clock I would ran down the stairs and to the door only to find junk mail, water bills, letters from friends, books from amazon but no Council Tax letter. I felt disappointed, abandoned; the closest people to me had vanished. I used to receive letters from them at times even two per week. We grew distant, forgotten about one another. The thought of being used even passed through one ear but quickly came out the other. All I needed to do was be patient. Maybe they were busy, that time of the year. Surely, my gut feeling was right. After a month or so I receive a letter from my friends at Council Tax.

It is a new notice of £1,153.04 minus £288.26 discount for living with a full time student, therefore £864.78. I beside myself with joy. After a quick dance to celebrate, I call the Council and inform them that I do have a NI number, I am unemployed and do not have the money to pay for Council Tax. I am speaking to the wrong person and so get connected to the proper department. I am then told, that I need to fill out a new application for a housing benefit, but it will most probably be rejected for the same reason given in the previous application - Person from Abroad. A cloud of haze manifests itself and clutters my vision. I thought I was beyond that point, had climbed the ladder. There is a ladder alright, it's just that it's for foreign people. The British ladder is over there not here. Very well, then I need to talk to the people at the job center and having been given the number I call them. I go through an interview that lasts for about thirty minutes only to discover towards the end that the whole thing was wrong and we had to start over. You see, I had been referring to the person living with me as a girlfriend. Silly me, I was assuming that since we're not married, we have no shared accounts, no children etc that we were boyfriend/girlfriend. Apparently, by law, we are partners and this changes the whole procedure.

I struggle to comprehend this: When I went to university I had nothing under my name, but having taken a course for three years and having paid around £10.000 then magically, a label appears under my name that reads: "Digital Media Artist" or something along those lines. I understand that the same thing happens when a couple is married. They become a husband and wife, or whatever else depending on sexual orientation, when by civil or religious witness they are pronounced husband and wife. So when did the label change in this case? Was it when I claimed benefit? Was it after a particular time span of living with the other person? I erase the thoughts from my head as it is better to pass these things in silence. The interview begins again although this will make the chances of actually getting benefit much harder. If my partner is sustained financially by her parents then I am not entitled to benefit.

Today, we (my partner and I) had to go to the job center together for my benefit. Everyone there treats anyone who walks through the door either like a retard or a potential threat. And I mean "retard" in it's most controversial sense. We are guided to the waiting "lounge" and given a form to fill out. We are then called to one of the cubicles where this man asks us my partner several questions. She says she receives the amount of £1000 per month from her parents to cover her expenses (half of what I pay). You see, disappointed the man says, we are not entitled to benefit. We would be if both of us made £400 per month. And we "make" £600 more. It's so evident it's not even a trick. I ask the man whether then my partner is liable for not sustaining me. Could I take my partner to court because she receives an amount per month to cover her expenses but does not support me in paying the other half that we're supposed to?

To make it more clear, if the amount of money my partner receives is to cover half of our expenses, and I'm unemployed thus unable to cover the other half of the expenses then what? The man gets advice by his colleague. He then returns to say that the housing benefit department will call us to ask account details, transactions over the past two months etc. All the bureaucracy I went to at least three times now. He tells us to sit in the lounge, wishes us the best of luck, informs us he knows things are hard and complicated. Sitting on the lounge chair, looking around at all the people waiting in cleverly disguised cues, I realise things are not complicated at all. The system makes everything complicated so that less people get money out of someone else's pockets - the tax payers. And that is all good. But what about the people who don't want to get money out of other people's pockets? What about those poor fuckers who pay their food, water, rent, tuition fees, internet access, electricity but have no income to pay tax? I quickly realise how mundane it all is, take my partner and walk out of the job center while I murmur a strictly genteel "fuck off".

An environment where sounds will influence the shape of objects in order to communicate dialogue. The first image is final while the rest are experiments with materials, textures and lighting to get the desired mood.
Jargon: Sound Effector affects Position, Time, Rotation, Tracer length, Speed growth. All this using xpresso.

sound affecting particles

2010-03-31T13:29:00.002+01:00

Parts of the chair assigned as particles. The particles are then animated to move from one chair to the other. Animation is controlled by sound. The spline (path) of the movement on the other hand is not defined by sound but personal choice (a rather bad one in this case).

Upon crossing the road, the man coming the other way stopped and faced the opposite way of the traffic. His outfit was that of a homeless person yet his accent was most posh. He said in a loud voice: "There is an influx of unemployed aristocrats".

Animating and derzaining interactivity for Daphne's Lounge. Realising how far from intuitive Actionscript 3.0 is while at the same time appreciating the value of non-cracked plugins such as Trapcode Particular.

project(or)chair

2010-03-02T09:57:00.002Z

Yesterday I went to the Red Room at Phoenix Gallery to experiment with different setups of my work. It was a good opportunity to see what works and doesn't. I installed three projectors connected to DVD players and speakers. Each projector had a different sound coming from the speakers that was started randomly. Since there is only one video that loops on each DVD there are not many possibilities for chance operations, rather the according sound will play every time at the same time-length. This will be addressed by adding blank spaces of indeterminate time values between each loop. I setup each projection at different places in the room to try and create a sound installation so that the auditory experience alters according to where the viewer stands and how she interacts with the space. With only three speakers though, I found that the experience was not as rich and all sounds appeared to be harmonious for the majority of try-outs. It was an overall interesting experience nevertheless and no, the chair has no relation to Van Gogh's one. Sheer coincidence, or maybe something to do with the mind and the subconscious?

Here are some (less than focused) photographs for your enjoyment:

Sound Effector affecting Object

2010-02-27T11:46:00.003Z

I have been trying to make a Sound Effector affect another Effector or Object in Cinema 4D. To do this, I needed to use xpresso, a visual coding language in Cinema. Unfortunately, my knowledge of coding is less than average and vertigo is unavoidable upon looking at all the options. After employing the weeping technique I was able to sort it out and decided to share in order to save fellow human beings from future conundrums.

Here is a screenshot of the xpresso panel:

What we have now is the sound file loaded into the Sound Effector affecting the strength percentage value of the Shatter object that in turn affects the polygons of a 3d object. I assume you can use any object instead of Shatter or a different Effector but have not tested this out yet.

The Seven Summon the Other

2010-02-02T19:22:00.003Z

The work was getting a bit too serious, perhaps even meaningful. I felt the particular title helped to balance things out. Seven notes on the piano and a scratch on the cello are separated and individually used to trigger the seven chairs and blob accordingly. Blobby was created using sphere/cloner/metaball/sound,delay,random effector.

One of three parts has finished rendering. I rendered an image of the chair with no background and loaded it into Photosounder which is an image-sound editing software (or a spectrogram (of sorts)) software. I then took the audio created by the image and used it to affect the chair's polygons. An interpretation of the sound of the chair; or the chair as sound and/or vice versa. Also prepared the third part for the work, with the camera pointing towards the audience.
