J26 surfacing at the lighthouse bluff at East Point, Saturna Island, 5pm August 11, 2010 -- an amazing encounter as we had orcas passing each other going in opposite directions to and from the Fraser River, meeting halfway at East Point! -- and foraging in the tidal rip current all along the shore kelp beds.
“The Origin of Painting” by Disinformation - solo exhibition at Wrexham Arts Centre, October to December 2006
Brochure text - An exhibition by electronic music and audiovisual art project Disinformation, which takes its title from a live and highly interactive sound and light installation that references the Greek myth of “The Corinthian Maid, or The Origin of Painting”. The installation enables visitors to photograph their own shadows, and to paint with light, directly onto the surface of the exhibit, to a soundtrack of live electromagnetic noise. Also includes the pieces “Blackout” by Barry Hale, “The Analysis of Beauty”, “Spellbound” and the first public exhibition of test images for the new Disinformation project “Fire in the Eye”.
With some minor variations in the content, versions of the same Disinformation solo exhibition toured to 9 UK regional art galleries - Fabrica Gallery (Brighton, Nov 2001), Huddersfield Art Gallery (Jan 2003), Ashcroft Arts Centre (Fareham, Sept 2003), Quay Arts (Isle of Wight, Feb 2004), South Hill Park (Bracknell, April 2004), Derby Quad (June 2004), Midlands Arts Centre (Birmingham, July 2005), Wrexham Arts Centre (Oct 2006) and Saltburn Artists Projects (January 2007). Four of these exhibitions were funded with a special grant from the Arts Council’s then National Touring Programme.
Special thanks - for helping organise and fund the Disinformation touring exhibitions - to Jonathan Swain, Liz Whitehead, Matthew Miller [RIP], Robert Hall, Nicola Stephenson, Bronac Ferran, Tony White, Richard Humphreys, Genevieve Wilk, Carol Palmer, Rob Thrush, James Lucas, Fiona Burn, Jo Johnson, Eluned Myher, Louise Fedotov-Clements, Alex Boyd, Tracy Simpson and Lauren Healey.
In more detail -
“The Origin of Painting” [pictured] is an electromagnetic sound and optokinetic light installation, which originally premiered under the title “Artificial Lightning” in the “Sonic Boom” exhibition at London’s Hayward Gallery, April 2000, curated by David Toop and Fiona Bradley. The “Blackout” (Sound Mirrors) video [pictured] was filmed in 1997 by Barry Hale, and featured as a projected back-drop in numerous Disinformation concerts, talks and DJ sets, etc, before forming the centrepiece of the Disinformation “Blackout” exhibition, which toured to the Broadway Media Centre (Nottingham, Oct 1999), Waygood Gallery (Newcastle, Nov 1999) and ICA New Media Centre (London, March 2000). “The Analysis of Beauty” is an optokinetic oscilloscope artwork, which premiered in the “Noise” exhibition at Kettle’s Yard gallery (Cambridge, Jan 2000) curated by Adam Lowe and Simon Schaffer. The “Spellbound” video installation is “An Allegorical Portrait of J. Robert Oppenheimer”, which was exhibited in proposal form only (as a paper document) in the Raphael Cartoon Room at The V&A (London, 3 Nov 2000), and at the Royal Society of Sculptors (London, March 2001), before the “Spellbound” video was commissioned by Fabrica gallery (Brighton) for the first “proper” Disinformation solo exhibition in November 2001 (see below). The “Fire in the Eye” photographs [pictured] (aka “Painting with Electricity”) were created in 2004, premiering at the Wrexham Arts Centre in 2006. The 35mm cinema version of “Fire in the Eye” was commissioned in 2007, premiering at the Edinburgh International Film Festival in 2008, in a screening programme curated by the film scholar Kim Knowles.

The “Blackout” video is based on Sound Mirror imagery that features in the “Antiphony” 2xCD packaging, published by the record company Ash International in 1997, featuring photographs by Julian Hills, and in the “Antiphony Architectural Supplement”, featured in Sound Projector magazine, issue 6, published in 1999.

Just Pinned to Cycle Lane Line Marking: Floor Marking in...
I confess, when the upcoming MH 'Music Festival' dolls' photos surfaced a few weeks ago, I wasn't wildly impressed. No biggie - not everybody loves everything, after all.
But when Mattel showed a bonus Draculaura / Clawd set in that line, I was surprised at how fans turned on them. It's like *nobody* liked C & D, with 'too plain' as one of the kinder comments. I thought fans, who often lament their Clawdlessness whenever I post images of mine, would be glad for the chance to snag him. After all, I've yet to hear an unkind word about Dance Class 5-pack Gil's disco-ball silver shirt ! Heck, fans are so happy to have another crack at Gil, they're not even complaining (much) about buying a buncha DC dolls all over again.
Anyway,the 'too plain' plaints kinda bugged me, so I did what I always do - I act it out. And made possibly the plainest outfits for Gil and Lagoona I possibly could. Boring blue fabric, boring 'accents', recycled everything else. You thought you knew plain ? I'll show ya'll plain !
I can't help but think that 'Beach Music Festival' Gil and Lagoona make Music Festival Clawd and DLaura look positively exotic !
So now, am happy.
PS - Just bought the pink clamshell and pearl shoes from Lagoona's DDG version, and when they arrive, they'll replace the pair she's wearing now. Gil's already clamoring for pants instead of shorts. Poor guy, he came in shorts, and the few things I've sewn for him are still shorts !
Surface tension -- floating a pin on water is tough! Got this idea from a science book one of my sons brought home.

Located between 2nd / 3rd Avenues and 9th / 10th streets. See where this picture was taken, on a map. [?]

PCA 141 Metallic Surfaces
Jan 23 – Feb 6, 2011 (2 weeks)
Image Tag: pca141
Assignment: One of the tougher lighting challenges in photography is dealing with shiny metallic surfaces. The reflective properties of polished metal can play tricks with exposure and make for challenging compositions. There should be many items around the house to use for subjects (cutlery, chromed items, jewelry, etc.).
WIT: A last minute entry for me, I was going to shoot a pair of nail clippers for th texture, but ended up using this wire wisk instead. I liked the lines it made.
