Sundown in Budleigh was a week or two too early. I noticed that the Mccreadys will soon be playing so this is a good reason to promote the video from Sidmouth again.Perhaps another seven people will see the video and one or two will be somewhere near Beer. Not yet a mass medium but gradually a method is emerging. Also met the Old Porch Band at Willhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15235107715610126666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120443.post-75337730191989549682009-09-22T10:49:00.000-07:002009-09-22T10:52:26.642-07:00Still looking for an editor or trying to learn a bit more about it. the tapes from Beer At The Castle will appear on YouTube in time to be ahead of next year. Meanwhile this one is easier as there is only one camera anyway. Forgot to load the other tape. They will be at the Well House Tavern next Sunday 27 September from 8pm and also at Phoenix Cafe Bar Sunday Social 11 October 1.30-2.00pm.Willhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15235107715610126666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120443.post-36711932517854417852009-07-31T09:12:00.000-07:002009-07-31T09:23:14.615-07:00Video around visual art is getting easier but it may be easier still for a blog to include bits of visual content for the purpose of discussion. I have done some blank photos and versions with cable or string to show a network around the Exeter Castle, BT building, library Phoenix and museum. Each is on Flickr with Creative Commons copyright.

It is getting closer to being a chat show. Probably it will have to be recreated over time. There is a lot of music to come later but it will take time to edit. There is a tape from the sound mixing desk but not sure where the sound is that different or what to do with it. Need to find some help on this.

This is about as fast as news can happen I think. then there is the time for the audience to find it. Possibly by next year YouTube will be contributing to publicity for this event.This video came from an AVI from a stills camera. There is video on tape but this takes a while to edit. Maybe months.

There seemed to be a lot of support for Granadaland as a suitable location. Maybe we should benchmark on this. If Ben Bradshaw suggested Exeter was the ideal spot it might lead to comment. So some research in Granadaland could fit in somewhere.

One of the papers I do not yet understand is by Michel Foucault about Heterotopias or alternative spaces. He also mentions "heterochronies" slices of time they may be linked to. somehow this connects with learning theory and web design, unless I am just adding in my own take on an academic scene.The actual event could be more like a Willhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15235107715610126666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120443.post-59724609727732775752009-06-25T05:32:00.000-07:002009-06-25T05:45:33.207-07:00Tuesday night was interesting. More reasons why news online can be slow. The mix of editing and/or getting permission for images takes a while. And events are not that clear when and if they happen. At The Shed in Princesshay there was the official launch of the art exhibit but it has been announced and postponed a couple of times previously so almost nobody was there till the end.

Not enough preparation or notice. So I am now thinking about it as a test and some of the discussion will continue. The music video could suffer from poor sound for example.

In Exeter there are two branches of Waterstones in the High Street, both with stock of Sony Reader. Also a Blackwell branch at the university campus but there are no plans for an ondemand book printing device as the site will close soon for redevelopment. Earliest date a couple of years as part of a relaunch.

What is wrong with this? Slicing up the BBC budget to keep keep existing models going is only one option. "Sharing" could mean more of a network that went a bit wider.Willhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15235107715610126666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120443.post-86503790231788386972009-06-21T10:42:00.000-07:002009-06-21T11:07:27.472-07:00Other topics are more or less covered so the scope ccould include more on text, journalism and publishing. Books include images also but it seems to be words that are the basis. The talk around "Digital Britain2 so far has been mostly about how to preserve exisiting structures.

It is an inspiring idea about getting stuff on YouTube quite quickly. things have changed a bit too. It is not forbidden to photograph near Princesshay as was widely believed when it opened. So this has not got any staff opinions in it and should be ok. Links follow as the official explanation of video arrives on YouTube.

Some progress as I managed to get agreement for something to be quoted.
