a week of assessments and tutorials at NUCA. i also gave a presentation to year 1 around the use of journals - lateral thinking and problem solving http://www.slideshare.net/l.bicknell/15-nov-lateral-thinking - was surprised to be slightly critical of Akran Kharn at snape this weekend - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfflMh2BBqo – a piece in several movements some of which were relentlessly wonderful especially the opening section – it is amazing how much visual mileage one can get out of a sheet of plastic and lighting and with the addition of pounding music by Nitin Sawhney it became a thoughtful experience. a site i have come across this week that will inform the teaching is http://bookshelfporn.com/archive as well as the really interesting work shown at http://www.probelog.com/ - scroll down to the SPAN studio link. i am going to start adding labels to the posts for ease of tracking -
