Getting reading for a making day as part of OCA -
it's a first for me and am excited to be a part of it. I'm in the process of creating
a form of audit of things I am interested in exploring in readiness. Sort of evaluating
or just trying to look at the last few projects and pick up threads that I
didn't fully explore that still interest me....see what's on the table in the
studio.
spent yesterday reading a number of texts - this
one springs into my head today.... Evidence
was brought that “what is called ‘news’ is always an anti-social and disturbing
act; that ‘news’ consists, as to ninety percent, of the records of human
misfortunes, unhappiness and wrongdoing, as to ten percent of personal advertisement”
- Uncommon Law, Alan Herbert 1935
This relates directly to the current thinking of Hans Rosling -
I'm really enjoying the book of the week

him of glorious data. Meanwhile some stuff - Ramps
on the Moon at the Wolsey had another stunning production - this time Our Countries Good https://www.rampsonthemoon.co.uk/show/our-countrys-good/

what more could you ask for. saw a number of films including Speilberg explaining
gaming but not quite as good as the book Ready
