Perception of Colour

I seem to recall we discussed this:
http://www.sciencealert.com/humans-couldn-t-even-see-the-colour-blue-until-modern-times-research-suggests

or am I imagining we did?

Regardless, an interesting concept to ponder - and also how it applies to so many other areas of our lives.

Happy summer everyone!

Amazing maps!

I came across this site and was blown away both by the premise and by the result.
Enjoy! https://www.mapbox.com/blog/geotaggers-world-atlas/

Missing our weekly get together's - at least I will see some of you soon in Dunedin :)

Remembering Installation Day

This is a 'silent' movie. I may get around to some sound adventures eventually.

This one's for Shelley

A little tip on how to unlock the Code as described to me during our day sitting the gallery. This is by no means perfect. In fact the timing of last text needs to be revised to last longer.

Cave of Forgotten Dreams by Werner Herzog

Hi everyone. I just watched the film Cave of Forgotten Dreams by Werner Herzog. If you want to visit the inside of Chauvet caves, this is a real treat. So much information. I couldn't stop taking notes. Anyway it's on youTube. Easy to find with Google. It was on TVO. Check it out.

Inspirations from V Jane

Inspirations from V Jane COLLECTED DURING MASTERCLASS 2015,DVSA

“Invent your world”

“pull out the difference with what you have got”, ask yourself what is left?”

“Let your mind think about what you want to say”….journal it.

“interpreting the mark making”

"mark making”

“data collecting”

“take risks”

“change scale”

“point to the real”

“make emotional inquiry” work it out in thumbnail

“what is your central position”

“create a vocabulary of images , honour your own mark making”

“save your painting even the ones you don't like, one day you might see it and know exactly what tot do. The work is already ahead of you”

"if you don't know where to begin start in the middle"

Two

and more!

Re Dean's iPhone/TV/Video

Looped

Thanks to all for suggestions! I found an app that works.

Dean

Not Loopy Yet

My video/slideshow is 95% finished but I have run into a roadblock re looping. The "video" is in a Quicktime movie format that plays nicely on my iPhone 4S and transfers to my newly purchased TV. I have looked for an app that will loop videos and found only one: viloop. It does not recognize my movie as a video and will not play it or even admit that it exists on my iPhone. One of my video friends told me that her videos will loop on her iPod touch simply by putting it on a playlist on iTunes.  I tried that on my iPhone and the phone said it would loop but when the video ended it just stopped and went back to the screen that started the process and stayed there; i.e. no looping.

Any suggestions?

Dean

IMPORTANT NOTE: How to tell if your IMAGES WILL PRINT PROPERLY

Good morning!  
Many of you are emailing images that are not sized properly for print.
The resolution for printing is different than the resolution for an on screen image.

What might look perfect on your computer, may print fuzzy in the catalog.

Here is how you can check to see if your images are 'big enough':

• View your image at full size - 100%.

• Then view your image at 200%. If the 200% image is fuzzy, then your image will print fuzzy.

Please make sure to send images at minimum 150dpi. If you are not sure, please check with someone who can help you.

Thanks!
Shelley

REMINDER ABOUT FORMAT for providing catalog information

Hello everyone!
I am back from Nicaragua and just sorting through many emails.

AS A REMINDER, please remember to send me your Artist Statements as 'Word' documents, with the extensions .doc or .docx.

If you do not have Word, then please simply put the information in the body of the email and I will block and copy it into a Word document. (Note: "Pages" is not a Word program.)

Also, please be certain to give me the full spelling of your name, how you want it to appear in the catalog as well as the title of your project, if you want that included in the catalog.

See you all on Wednesday.
