I’m in the process of bringing my blog back online after my old site at sine35 went down last year. I’m using this blog to track my PhD and other projects that feed into it. I’m currently adding some MA notes retrospectively, both these and my PhD posts will feed my main webpage.
Should all be up online in a few days, when I’m looking forward to documenting some of my new bits and pieces.
LEGO builds at 2:30, 3:30 and 4:30 downstairs in the museum demonstrating the principles at play in a clock and how to build your own at home. The clock will also be exhibited at the museum for the week leading up to this presentation, from the 13th to the 16th March.
Exploring mechanical music machines and clockwork on the BEAM open day.
LEGO clock installed at M.A.D. which features a wide-range of kinetic work from artists including Nik Ramage and Robert Moore.
A rapid run-down of my clock build at the Game On! night between musical comedian and geek songstress Helen Arney, stand-up mathematician and maths writer for Guardian and Telegraph Matt Parker and Blue Peter scientist and comedian Steve Mould.
Exhibiting recent LEGO pieces including Missing Link, Music of the Gears, Clunky Drummerand clock-building workshops from 8th February to 12th February.
Music of the Gears (vimeo) continues my exploration of phasing and accidental music in a form reflecting the historical artefacts of the venue. A clockwork orrery slowly turns and chimes a Tibetan bell on each planet’s orbit, producing a mediative and methodical – though apparently random – musical performance. Running from 27th September to 2nd October.
The Plaiting Machine was the first piece to be exhibited on the museum’s Fourth Plinth in their Eccentricity exhibition. The machine slowly weaves together three yarns of wool, transferring the power of gravity though a flying pendulum clock escapement. The Fourth Plinth is running until October, featuring items from many exhibitors and artists including Mike Blow and Antony Gormley. Running from 2nd August to 7th August.
