The bonding experiments continue - there are so many
possibilities - here I'm working with a felted material and foils - the final
fabric has opposites at its core cold/warm, dense/light, anarchy/order. The
cape is coming along with a fashion shoot around the corner. meanwhile some
films this week - Superbob -
what if a superhero lived in Peckham and just wanted to meet someone
because he was a bit lonely? a great premise and funny in a melancholic way - I
loved the people of Peckham defending him - "he's doing something
important and its none of your concern". 71 - a slice of bloody, brutal divided Ireland - excellent
acting but not for the squeamish. Suffragette
- well I felt a little like asking where is Dick Van Dyke? it alludes to
many issues but....but I get it that it's an important film but it only just makers
it because of the narrative arc Carey Mulligan brings
to the idea of loneliness. A highlight has to be Dope - it's a coming of age film with many many twists that take
you to exciting places - the 'speech' given by the main character about not
fitting in was wondrous. And then there is the great music! Our teams proposed presentation
to be given at the festival of ideas this Saturday is coming along - there are
some incisive questions happening which we hope will spark others. http://www.festivalofideas.cam.ac.uk/events/nanoart-perceiving-smallest-scales
