Saturdaisy

Daisy, a call centre worker in the city and daughter of one of the library workers dropped into Science and Business on Saturday afternoon. She had a session on the Tagtool and loved it, now she plans to go talk to local bands about it, she thinks it would be great to project live drawings when they're playing.

Later we took over a table and started Posca-ing our own designs taking inspiration from the work of artist Jon Burgerman.

Thursday night at Hannah Maclure

This was a one-off event, to be followed by a set of six presentations running Thursday evenings in May and June called The Spacemakers designed to build and support community and creative interventions in the city for more info on this click here.

The events are organised by D-AiR... (pronounced Dare) which stands for Dundee Artists in Residence a new initiative in the city that profiles the work of Dundee-based artists, celebrates Dundee as a city of culture and creativity, and fosters links between artists and the wider community.

Paul Davie

Paul Davie, a local freelance digital/designer dropped by the Science and Business department. Alistair, Verity and Sandra and myself took turns to squeeze into the tiny office in the dark so Paul could demonstrate to us VJ software he has adapted, we loved the effects was able to make using a webcam and the lights on his mobile phone. I just recorded this tiny video from his laptop screen, we could tell it would look amazing if it was projected life size.

Here's one for children... it's the school holidays
