session 02

Hello again. It was great seeing you today and hear you presenting your blogs and what excellent projects we have now!
I'm really sorry i had to rush off at 1 pm sharp but unfortunately its the only way i can do in order to get to the South Bank Uni ontime for the 2 pm session... and you can't imagine how stressful it was to do such long journey in such tight schedule!

So next week we need to organise ourselves a little better to make sure I meet with everyone that is scheduled for individual tutorials, Maybe starting with Judy which had the shortest tutorial today! So please try to have your image collections already organised in the flickr account and posted to your blog with the concept for your printed project. Have a nice week-end and don't forget to see the show at the Photographer's Gallery. You can red my review of the show here: http://digitalphotographyblog.wordpress.com/2007/04/23/found-photography/

as found

The Image as it is, ie, as found.

As-Found is Thomas Eberwein & Marc Kremers creative response to the trillions of images available on the Internet. "We think that a found image can match any image produced within the artistic field, in aesthetic, cultural or emotional qualities (...)These images, as they have been found, are perfect in our eyes, and we want to showcase them here, giving them a new space in which to be contemplated. Showing them in the context of this site gives them new value."
Curated exhibitions include:
Bandwidth stealer
Presidential Runner-ups
Hollywood

project brief

Hello, I had a great time working with you during the workshop. Thank you so much for your patience!
I've now added links to all your blogs on the side bar, so you can follow each other's progress.
Also, here's a reminder of the project's brief:
A collection of material from the web, using your blogs ( flickr for the images and blogger for the text and links to images) to articulate the concept, ie the rationale/ motivation for your selection
You should have at least 21 images from your chosen theme and a method for organising them (collage, publication, animation, etc)
Any questions, feel free to email me at paula-roush-at-gmail-dot-com.
See you next thursday in the media lab. We'll kick start with your presentations. I would like to see all your research blogged so we can see everyone's ideas online, so please dont't bring neither prints nor images on disk.

but how to find an already existing one...

from web 2.0 print

Hello welcome to the blog for the project from web 2.0 print, taking place at the wimbledon school of art (19 april to may 2007) and facilitated by paula roush.
The purpose of this blog is to explore how the web 2.0 can be used as a creative space for print making, with a focus on the convergence between web 2.0 and printed matter.

the aims for the workshops are:
1- to introduce the web 2.0 concepts and practices and present some options for artists
2-present the network as a database for sourcing and a platform to share your own collection
3-create a blog for personal publishing and/or integration into printmaking strategies
