It all worked.
So I think some thanks are in order.
Huge thanks are due to Alasdair Swenson, who developed the programme that makes the arrows move and interact. He’s setting up
www.irregulardesign.com to do more stuff like this. Working with alasdair has been part of my development on re:view, I’ll write a bit more about how that has had an impact on a later post when I’ve considered it more.
The technicians at the Bluecoat have been amazing, especially Cathal, who has solved all sorts of problems, found all manner of cables and connectors, acquired TVs from all around the Bluecoat for my installation and made it all look incredibly sleek and tidy.
Gareth Houghton worked with me to do the video editing, and that was a joy. Thanks also to all the people who helped me when I was flapping around looking for a mac and other equipment, your offers of assistance were amazing.
And thanks to Sara-Jayne Parsons, the curator at the Bluecoat, who has been so helpful in providing the space, facilities and guidance to get these two pieces of work to this stage.
Enough gushing for now, if this was the oscars they’d be playing the theme music… Time to counter the 2 week installation period by earning some money for the rest of this week – four different workshops with teenagers and an unsuspecting public lined up between now and Saturday.
