And who doesn’t need one of those at the moment. It’s the collage fish with a couple of layers of animation, some soft sounds, and a visible but silent breath counter. So let’s hear you – in 2 3 4, … Continue reading Ah yes, the 40 second stress buster
The sky here is via MotionLeap and the animation applied in the same app. The central image is my own painting, also animated, and positioned using greenscreen in PowerDirector. This piece shows the extraction and disintegration of genetic material; “ACTG; … Continue reading House #2 in the locality
Again, this is my painting with AR layers added. The primary image is projected through a greenscreen mask which, since this is a local business, retains their advertising, in addition to street furniture which anchors the AR in the real world. As always, AR via individual devices can be a little unpredictable. One day, with two of us focused on the wall, my phone activated the AR and the other person’s didn’t. Another day with someone else, theirs did the magic and mine remained uncharacteristically mute. Tech, eh? (c) SCH 2025 Continue reading The Khushbu – best signal in the village!
This person volunteered to have their house ‘redecorated’. The primary video is made from part of a painting animated in MotionLeap and ‘projected’ into the space of the house using greenscreen technology. Accessed using Artivive, it’s a bit frisky depending … Continue reading AR on buildings
For the time being, the 3.2 blog will remain independent of this one. Here’s the link: Conboyhill Arts. Continue reading Penultimate blog for 3.2
Original painting animated in MotionLeap and PowerDirector to form the augmented reality layer. Here’s the painting – download the Artivive app and give it a go! This is an artefact detected by bio-marker search looking for trace materials following historical observation of a planetary system in the region. It was automatically retrieved and delivered to an inspection plate in the isolation lab. Initial inspection suggests it is a construction, non-organic in itself but with traces. There are signs of critical damage. Re-aligning the inspection plate and boosting magnification shows there are protrusions that bear comparison with our own long range … Continue reading Some things are bigger than us
Rather than buy a new domain and WP blog, I’m customising an old one. There may be fragments of different stages while I do this as WP has changed the way the editing process works. I’m sure it will be … Continue reading Site currently under revision
This is a return gig with a poetry anthology, and I was given three poems to choose from. The one I went for is about urban decay and the awfulness of what’s left of industry, but ends with wildlife, trees and flowers taking over the area. November 11th and we’re a few days on with a hiatus due to an RSI (repetitive strain injury) in my left arm. Totally desk layout related but of course it affects everything I would normally do with my dominant hand or even with both hands, including painting and posting updates. Today it feels a … Continue reading New commission
Ducks in a row The ducks are in rows three across and four deep, waiting for the lights to change. The young man glances to his right and lightly depresses the accelerator; he will race away if the glance is … Continue reading Remembering Shoreham.
10th April 2023. Drawing on Cixin Liu’s reference to van Gogh, string theory, and the reduction of the solar system to two dimensions (Death’s End: Three Body Problem series audio book 2018), this is (hopefully) going to be an exploration of Van Gogh’s approach to a cosmology he could never have seen and, for the latter part, doesn’t actually exist. It’s also in oils which I found in the bottom drawer of a stack. Bit of a first for me. Liu devotes an entire chapter to the dispassionate description of the process of becoming two dimensional. With no drama at … Continue reading Temporary home for coursework
