Conner – 16 years old, spent last week work on the project
Saturday 1st August:
Today there was an artist talk at the Lighthouse Arts Gallery in the Digital Lounge. The talk lasted for around 1hr 20mins and consisted of the artist,Tina Gonsalves, talking about the history of Chameleon Project and where it is today. Tina was joined by some ‘Specialists’, one of whom was Natacha who is from the Experimente Electricae Programme in France.
Monday 3rd – Wednesday 5th August:
During this time, I washelping Natacha from Experimente Electricae build her 3D ‘PIXY’ screen that the Chameleon Project is being shown on. This ment that I was doing all sorts of different things from glueing the pixels onto wood so that they could be hung from the ceiling and and also wiring the pixels together to be placed on the wood. I even made a pixel line near enough from scratch which allowed me to see how the pixels are put together.
Michael, from Experimente Electricae, was at Lighthouse on the Tuesday and Wednesday and he was the person who built the circuit board that will allow the ‘PIXY SCREEN’ to work. I also done an Hours worth of transcribing for Tina but only managed to get through 3 minutes of the tape. All in all, for my first experience, working with digital artist was interesting and fun as everyone was kind and I’d like to thank them all for allowing me to help out, so THANKYOU everyone, especially Gen, who was the experience host and the Head Co-ordinator at Lighthouse.
