Projection at Exeter Cathedral

Very excited to be able to watch this film of a projection I saw back in February in Exeter. I'm having problems embedding the video to the right size so am posting a link to it instead: Isca Obscura by Tundra*



Tundra* were commissioned by Animated Exeter and their work was projected on Exeter Cathedral using four projectors I think. I love the eery music by Beth Gibbons from Portishead, and the bit where the lights inside the Cathedral come on!

The most useful training I've ever had

I did some first aid training with St Johns Ambulance a few weeks ago, so that I can be a first aider at our events.

I'd never learnt any first aid before. I thought it might be a bit dull and theoretical. I hadn't even given much thought to what the role might involve. But I'm so glad that I did it. I think it's the most useful training I've ever had.

It's unbelievable that so many people die needlessly, because no one could give them first aid when they needed it.

If I do find myself faced with an incident I don't know how I'll react, or whether I'll remember what to do. But I hope I will be able to help someone when it really matters.

Pinball game projection for Comic Relief





All photos by Edward Lockyer

Here are some photos from last weeks Pinball game event to help promote Red nose day in aid of Comic relief (Red nose day is on Friday 18 March 2011).

10 BA graphic communication students worked with Bath Spa Uni lecturer Anthony Head to make the games which were projected onto the Pump Room, Bath on 24th Feb. The red people are actors from the Natural Theatre Company. This project came out of Illuminate Bath. It was technically challenging but thankfully it worked fine on the night. Great to see passers by joining in and playing the games, and it made the local news! We would like the next Illuminate Bath festival to be more interactive like this.
