A cropped picture of Carrie -- it's nice having 18MP to crop from. She's currently staring at the flash.

The way we see it!
We are defined by our perception.

This is my final project piece, created to showcase my film-making techniques and to document the best month of my life. (24th April 2018 - 25th May 2018)
Disappearing perception happened again today, I was drawn by the slats of light/shadow on the floor and running up and across the surface and pattern of the fan. As soon as the camera began to focus a breeze disturbed the blinds and it disappeared. It happened several times the same way, and finally I snapped this, because why not share the laughter? Just to be clear, this is not what I saw.
North Beach, Payette Lake, McCall, Idaho
Since we flew up to Boise and drove to McCall, we didn't have our own kayaks so we rented from Backwoods Adventures right on the shore of the lake, and it was a stellar day to be out on the North Beach canoe trail/Payette River.
I think this might be one of my favorite Polaroids to ever pop out of my SLR 680.
“The material basis of media technologies – and books are only one example – is changing, for which historical perspectives might give not only comforting back-up (‘nothing is as permanent as change’) but also ideas to push the change forward.” (Jussi Parikka, 2012)
We can certainly talk about change; our present landscape is a space where the digital and physical have become synonymous, which many believe to be signaling the coming of an ontology-less future, through the accelerated disruption of cultural value. In this light old standards show their age and obsolescence in the face of the new, and with each new wave of informational overload we are further alienated by the system, that revolves around an economy of monetary circulation. All these factors come together to push a re-evaluation of identity and the human value. This brings to mind the genealogy of currency, articulated by Joseph Beuys during the discussion entitled What is money? : “Of course ‘Geld’ [‘money’] comes from ‘Gold’, same etymology. But it comes equally from ‘Geltung’ [‘validity’], meaning the value people fix based on their perception of a natural right. The word ‘Geltung’ is rooted in representations of a natural right, while the word ‘Gold’ is rooted in the economy of barter!” (Joseph Beuys, 2012).
In this light, Geltung [validity]: perception of a natural right brings together four artistic investigations that re-evaluate established methods of financial exchange bestowing new material values and identities to their subjects. In a landscape where monetary currency is pinnacle, the artists interrogate notions of personal and individual history, locality and its impact in identity and the framework that contains our cultural objects.
Diogo da Cruz’s work, WORDCOIN (2016 – Current), proposes the implementation of a new currency, that will give a literal value to each one’s speech. By creating The Bank for Argumentation, the costumer-museum-goer will have the opportunity to trust his or hers arguments to an institution that can save and trade them, giving the deserved and objective exposure to their ideas. Max Dovey presents Breath (BRH) (2017), a digital currency that is mined through human respiration. The installation combines breathing and micro-computers to mine, store and trade human breath as a virtual currency on the crypto-market(s). The market value of BRH is determined by the inflation created by respiratory miners who participate in the physical installation. Felicity Hammond’s artworks draws upon images from her own archive, using documents of the landscape and found images online; those of both existing and imagined future spaces. Hammond utilises particular motifs and structures that respond specifically to the digital representations found online of Dundee’s vast regeneration programme. For I keep forgetting I’ve been to Tokyo: GAIDEN (2017), Petra Szemán follows the virtual self through parallel and intersecting realities, along the departure-initiation-return structure of a hero’s journey. Drawing upon personal and/or constructed experiences, the work explores the idea of a non-localised identity that’s an archive of accumulated personal mythologies acquired from a multitude of realities.

The image is of blue paint powder compressed into tablet form and oxidised under UV light for several months. The tablet looked blue, but under the Keyence optical microscope, the top layer looks light purple, whilst the edge is a mix of light and dark purple mixed with iridescence of the transparent PVC crystals.
The inset shows one of these PVC crystals within the tablet. The colours come from interference of the light waves as they reflect off the surfaces of the crystal in a similar way to oil or soap bubbles. The colours change as the angle of illumination is changed and the tablet looks a very different colour under the microscope. The paint is starting to fade as the light purple oxidised layer shows and my research is into understanding the mechanisms of how paint fades and degrades, in order to slow or stop the degradation.
