Financial Meltdown 2009
Thursday June 26th
We began the day quite early at about 10:00am in room 10, and were all given a brief welcome and a short explanation on what financial meltdown was, we were then told the health and safety rules and the pro
cedure to take in case of a fire alarm.
We met the mentors and they gave a brief on what area they specialised in.
A little while later we were all give individual numbers from 1-4 and got into group according to our numbers.
We walked over to the other building and with different mentors went into different rooms were we were given a 15 minute explanation on what that mentors area was about and what each group would do (the 4 group were Audio, Film, Web and Vijay-Projection) after the 15 minutes were up we then had a change around and went into another room with a different mentor, after hearing and seeing the 4 groups I decided I wanted to do web because I liked the idea of making the website and animations.
At about 11:30 we all went back to room 10 and were given lunches to take to Tate Modern the museum in Bankside.
At Tate Modern we got tickets for the futurism exhibition but before that we got a
chance to visit the display on floor 5: No ghost just a shell, which is a collaborative group of works which uses the copyright for a manga character, Ann Lee, attempting to free her from her status as a product and question the nature of images and identity.
The title refers to Masamune Shirow’s manga classic, Ghost in the Shell, which explores the possibilities of infiltrating human minds and hijacking identity.
This display scared some of us as the animation was very emotional and deep, but I really liked the way the posters were made and the use of different fonts and colours.
For more information visit No Ghost Just a Shell
Later we also visited the cubism collection which I personally fount kind of boring and at 2:00pm we went into the futurism exhibition th
ere was many displays but the ones that mostly caught my eye were the displays by the Czech painter and graphic artist FrantiĊĦek Kupka. The reason I really liked his work was because so much colour is used and the texture in which the brush strokes are displayed is amazing, the curves the contrast between light and dark, it all felt really exciting I enjoyed the day out to Tate and it was a good experience and a good source of inspiration in the end.
Enjoy by Kevin.

The Tate Modern
During the trip to the Tate Modern we observed many pieces of art. The one that intrigued me the most however, was the mirror. Not because i could view my own reflection, but due the enigmatic meaning behind it; every person is a piece of art in itself. This, and many other pieces of art, inspired me for my project which would be completed in one weeks time.
Rose Bruford
Rose Bruford held many interesting aspects of the performing art's secrets within itself. The enchanting college allowed us to understand the "how's?" and "why's?" of the performing realm, encouraging our creativity to wander further than before.
Touring the campus meant that we got to look into the backstage genius' jobs, showing us what really makes the performances.

Robert's responce to VJing
This week has been very eventful, with lots of different things going on its really hard to get bored.
We have been doing some VJing and mixing it to the beat of the music. We also created our own money. I have found this whole week a really good and valuable experience and have learnt alot to do with the financial meltdown furthermore I have learnt how to use modul8 a VJing software which allows you to do some video manipulation and beat triggering with the use of a MIDI keyboard (Musical Instrument with a Digital Interface)
