Active Assignment Weekly: 23-30 May 2016: Water:
"I find water to be an inspiration - it is present everywhere, has countless shapes and colors, catches light in different ways and gives a photographer the freedom to play with it as he wishes. Restriction - only water, no other liquids :)"
WIT: Pouring water from a jug in the evening sun. Cropped then adjusted levels to turn background darker.
Bear is a purebred “Chow Hound”! We looked after him for just over two weeks while his owners were on holiday. He can be quite charming but is very insistent. When “sad eyes” don’t work he resorts to jumping in place. By the end of his visit Bear learned that we won’t feed him at the table but he remains hopeful nonetheless.
So here is my Savers find Sindy, which I found has an Active Body with an extra piece in her torso to pose better. It results in cute looking stomach rolls on her so i like it haha.
The annoying thing is though, I’ve found *nothing* on how to replace her hands online and I’m kind of worried since she’s pretty much mint otherwise, and is one of the better looking vintage dolls I’ve restored.
I’ll eventually get around to photographing all of my british made dolls when I get my other Sindy from home.
The Raptor Encounter at Universal Studios Hollywood is an interactive character experience where guests come face-to-face with Blue--a life-size, realistic Velociraptor controlled by skilled puppeteers and performers. Set in a themed paddock inspired by Jurassic World, the encounter simulates a live animal training pen, complete with handler banter, safety gates, and dramatic sound effects.
Universal Studios Hollywood, opened in 1964 on the historic Universal lot, blends an active film studio with a theme park built around Universal’s film and television properties. Spread across Upper and Lower Lots linked by the Starway escalators, it offers views of working soundstages alongside attractions that use sets, animatronics, motion simulators, and practical effects. The signature Studio Tour moves through real backlot streets and production areas, while themed lands, dining, and retail spaces extend Universal’s storytelling across the property.
In recent decades, developments in software and hardware technologies have created dramatic shifts in design, manufacturing and research. Software technologies have facilitated automated process and new solutions for complex problems. Computation has also become a platform for creativity through generative art and design. New hardware platforms and digital fabrication technologies have similarly transformed manufacturing, offering more efficient production and mass customization. Such advances have helped catalyzed the maker-movement, democratizing design and maker culture. This influx of new capabilities to design, compute and fabricate like never before, has sparked a renewed interest in material performance.
We are now witnessing significant advances in active matter, 3D/4D Printing, materials science, synthetic biology, DNA nanotechnology and soft robotics, which have led to the convergence of software, hardware and material technologies and the growing field of programmable materials.
This conference was about the emerging field of active matter and programmable materials that bridges the worlds of art, science, engineering and design, demonstrating new perspectives for computation, transformation and dynamic material applications.
If over the past few decades we have experienced a software revolution, and more recently, a hardware revolution, this conference aims to discuss the premises, challenges and innovations brought by today’s materials revolution. We can now sense, compute, and actuate with materials alone, just as we could with software and hardware platforms previously. How does this shift influence materials research, and how does it shape the future of design, arts, and industrial applications? What tools and design processes do we need to advance, augment and invent new materials today? What are the key roles that industry, government, academic and public institutions can play in catalyzing the field of programmable materials?
This two-day conference consisted of a range of talks and lively discussion from leading researchers in materials science, art & design, synthetic biology and soft-robotics along with leaders from government, public institutions and industry.

Special Olympics Tasmania athletes were delighted to take part in the Active Launceston Expo on February 2009.
Athletes invited expo attendees to “come and try” sporting activitiesgiving people a first hand opportunity to see what those with intellectual disabilities regularly achieve in the sporting arena.
Hawthorn Football Club players were amongst those testing their skills under the direction of the Special Olympics athletes & volunteers.
As part of the Active Angus 2004 sports and activities programme run by Angus Council Leisure Services children aged 8-12 years were at Arbroath Sports Centre from August 10 to 12, 2004, to take part in fun Norwich Union star:track athletics coaching. Norwich Union star:track athletics was a national programme which offered children the opportunity to try fun athletics through a number of events including the hurdles, javelin, discus, long jump and relay races. Under the watchful eye of qualified athletics coaches the children were put through their paces and all received a star:track goody bag including T-shirt, handbook, calendar, baseball cap and certificate. All participants also got the chance to achieve a Norwich Union Shine Award.
