[Sound Vs Visuals] Autechre - Gantz Graf

Autechre have been at the high end of distorted electronica since the early 90's. They are pioneers in their genre of IDM (intelligent dance music.) Their music will not be to everyones taste, but this video is a very good example of the correlation between sound and video.

London Festival of Architecture 2010 19 June - 4 July 2010

Not quite what we do but very exciting nevertheless!

The Architecture Foundation is proud to deliver The London Festival of Architecture 2010 in partnership with RIBA London and New London Architecture. The Festival, running from 19 June to 4 July, will be a city-wide celebration of architecture in the capital. As London gears up for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games we look at ways that planners, architects, clients and local communities play their part in the development of 'The Welcoming City'.

LFA2010 will have three weekends over which visitors will be encouraged to explore three key areas of London namely, the Nash Ramblas, Bankside Urban Forest and High Street 2012.

The Architecture Foundation is pleased to be curating the Bankside Urban Forest and High Street 2012 hubs in 2010. They will also be responsible for delivering the International Architecture Showcase in collaboration with the British Council and the International Architecture Student Festival in collaboration with London Metropolitan University.

555 KUBIK "How it would be, if a house was dreaming"

Another interesting digital instalation I found recently on Vimeo.
The conception of this project consistently derives from its underlying architecture - the theoretic conception and visual pattern of the Hamburg Kunsthalle. The Basic idea of narration was to dissolve and break through the strict architecture of O. M. Ungers "Galerie der Gegenwart". Resultant permeabilty of the solid facade uncovers different interpretations of conception, geometry and aesthetics expressed through graphics and movement. A situation of reflexivity evolves - describing the constitution and spacious perception of this location by means of the building itself.

Scanned Articles Guidance

Please find attached - links to scanned article files for the readings for your units.
These should be placed only on pages of your website for that particular module.

The CLA licence we are allowed to scan under has some conditions -

Please direct only those students who are on a particular module to that module's readings.
Other students should not be reading/printing articles for modules they are not taking.

Students should be advised to print only 1 copy of an article - they should not email these articles on to other students or save them

Please do not link to these articles from other sites or download and keep copies of these files yourself - the files should only be stored on the library’s server

Articles are valid for the dates as follows - 30/09/2010.
We will contact you shortly before these dates expire: if these modules are running again and still require the same articles then we can renew for next year. If not then we will remove the files from our server and the links will become dead

Please ask students to take notice of the copyright notes on front page of each article

Some articles are from books owned by your library and not by ours - please do not remove these from your library collection as we will no longer be able to display scanned extracts from a book if the university does not own a copy. If we are audited by the Copyright Licensing Agency then we may need to show them the original copies of books to demonstrate ownership.

A short reminder from the Decode: Digital Design Sensations Exhibition showcasing the latest developments in digital and interactive design, from small, screen-based, graphics to large-scale interactive installations. The exhibition includes works by established international artists and designers such as Daniel Brown, Golan Levin, Daniel Rozin, Troika and Karsten Schmidt.

The exhibition explores three themes: Code presents pieces that use computer code to create new works and looks at how code can be programmed to create constantly fluid and ever-changing works. Interactivity looks at works that are directly influenced by the viewer. Visitors will be invited to interact with and contribute to the development of the exhibits. Network focuses on works that comment on and utilise the digital traces left behind by everyday communications and looks at how advanced technologies and the internet have enabled new types of social interaction and mediums of self-expression.
