A long time coming, but even so I thought I should put up some images and a short video of a public presentation of the results of the residency at amberPlatform. The above is an image of the installation from behind. The work was a curved cloth wall/screen. The screen was backlit and images projected from behind. People entered from the left side and entered … Continue reading Un/changing City Walk
On the weekend I gave a workshop that was a short introduction to stop-motion animation simply using digital cameras or mobile phone cameras plus a basic introduction to Quicktime Pro and Adobe Flash. These applications were used to collate the images taken by the cameras to output the final animation. Continue reading “Stop-motion Animation Workshop”
Istiklal Caddesi is the busiest street in Istanbul. I decided to brave the 10s of 1000s, if not over 100s of 1000s of people that are walking on Istiklal Caddesi. People say that a million people walk on this street daily – I’m not sure about the numbers, but it sure does feel like it! Continue reading a walk – An endurance performance…
I created animated GIFs exploring textures of GIF compression. Continue reading Animations

We concluded that it would need to have an entry point hence making it a swirl in the end. Newspaper and chalk were used to map it out. The outer edges of the newspaper … Continue reading Visualising the circular space & size
One of my favourite places to eat, in Odun Meydani Sokak. It had vines growing for shelter as if in a village – here you could eat, drink cay and relax. It was an oasis from the business of Istanbul streets. Continue reading Curves and distortions
This header image is a reflection of the amberPlatform studio but on the entry door. This image reminds me of the Pepper’s Ghost effect I saw at the Magic Lantern Society’s convention. When you take something out of context the interpretation or meaning is altered. Without all the facts one might think it’s the actual studio. Continue reading Capturing light
I have been obsessed with circles for a long time and in fact one work of mine, Ringe Raja, was a geodesic dome. While here as artist-in-residence at amberPlatform Istanbul, it is my intention to extend this particular work through explorations of circular spaces. During my first week in Istanbul I was looking for an alternative to the geodesic dome and investigated alternative dome options. … Continue reading In search of Domes…
