This is in accordance to the roster posted inside the 'T'.

You must show up, or we will hunt you down, tie you to a chair and force you to watch Aaron's 'mac campaign' advert repeatedly until you cry.

Curtains

I looked into price of black fabric to create curtains for around the whole room, the cheapest i could find was a black cotton fabric which cost approx $3 a metre at both spotlight and lincraft. So it looks like the curtain will be unable to be done as it will be way too expensive.

Exhibition Poster

Just thought I'd post up the exhibition poster for everyone to have a look at.
If you notice anything that needs fixing up, leave a comment. - Stephana

A Working/Roster schedule for the expo will be handed to each student tomorrow.

This will also have a list of roles and responsibilities that you must take care of and uphold on the day.

A eRoster will also be posted on this blog tomorrow night.

Cannot Come to the Meeting.

I didn't know where to post this or to whom, so decided to let you know here. Unfortunately, I can't come to today's meeting. Please write on the blog, if I should miss any important information. I also won't be able to come tomorrow.

Just letting you know early.

Big Thanks To Everyone!!

Thats great news on the cardboard front guys! Your efforts are really appreciated!!

I have passed on all this information to the faculty, and the likelihood of getting these ideas approved now has increased significantly as the costs have now decreased!

Can the people that have received the cardboard for nothing please contact their contacts within VISY and ask if they would like their logo and contact details supplied on the DVD and Website?

Just a reminder guys that we are asking that easy student help support the end of year show by donating $50.00. This will help us meet our goal of producing the best degree show that MMDA has ever put on. Your donation of $50.00 will help support the remaining costs to the DVD as well as support the construction of the MMDA space!! If possible, could you bring this donation along on Friday during our meeting at 3:00pm

We hope to have approval of the space by Friday as well as an advanced copy of the DVD to show you all!

Cheers!

Cardboards Sheets 2

I have managed to get around 10 sheets from Visy Reseviour. I don't think I can get any sheets bigger than 1.6 meters by 2.8 (around there). Anyway how are we going to be building it because these large pieces of paper r pretty heavy, i heard that apparently they're really hard to stand, even though they're thick. I am free to pick it up anytime, but I'll need more than one trailer to get it.

cardboard pick

i have a station wagon???
with roof racks???
my friend has a van to....
i think we cld use either

will confirm friday...

how did the final proposal go?
and the measuring for the frame of the t?


see you fri...

Cardboard Sheets

I've been told that we can obtain 12 2 X 2.8 meter sheets of cardboard from Visy free of charge.
The only issue now is transporting the sheets to Uni so we can begin working with the sheets for the exhibition. I need to contact the Operations Manager tomorow to find out when I can pick up the sheets, but I need some ideas about how to transport them.

I have been told that we could use a van, and I suppose if the cardboard is placed on a diagonal it might fit. The only other options I can think of is a truck(which would be very expensive) or a trailer. If any one has other ideas for transporting the cardboard post your ideas. I'm sure we can come up with something.

Apologies for mis-spelt names.

Yesterday we (design team) discussed a range of ideas:

Tying the theme of Polychromatic (many colours; one exhibition) into the gallery's themed installations.

Focussing on using Nina's idea of making the ambient space about us being a living element of the gallery space.

Using Tuan's projected colours to lead people down the entrance corridoor using white paint on the black walls (very polychromatic).

Using Se Hyun's ball curtain in the entrance to the main projection room as an introduction with a mixture of pixelated student work and the occasional hilarious pixel people dance (the people will be pixellated students tying in with Nina's concepts).

Using the main room for a central square or cross featuring rear-projected animations and projecting us at lifesize around the edges of the room watching the work. Nina was looking into the special materials necissary for rear projection and if they are affordable. Sunny and Thuan offered to build the structures, but was wary of OHS policy.

Using the adjacent lit space for a combination of print work and computer stations featuring an interactive display of all student's show reels (and my book hehe).

Aaron is following up the use of the conference room and the side of the stairwell which could feature timetabled screenings and interactive work respectively.

Mark suggested considering how we organise the work and that content is more relevant than format. Games/retro-art/motion-graphics/graffiti/motion/time/cultural/political/social/narrative were all suggested as thematic divisions. We then decided to be very critical and perhaps choose only 1 work from each student to display and then look at that work and how it can be organised into thematic groups. Nina is currently chasing up the Multimedia students for comprehensive lists of the work submitted for selection.

Attention was given to some of Alix's ideas of using folded screens or boxes for a more complex experience. Decision has not yet been made on the use of these elements but at the moment design seems to be leaning towards showing a small amount fo the best work in the most appealing way. The computers in boxes would be good for this particularly in the open space where we can't control the general lighting. Multiple images on projectors will also be utilised for Nina's characters and perhaps elsewhere.

Everyone who wishes to be included in the gallery will have to attend a film shoot in the green screen room. If a date was set I didn't write it down but I'll post it here as soon as it's official.

We also decided to achieve the following on Thursday when we meet at 5pm:

Finalised floorplan
Short list work (if lists available by Thursday)
Confirm availability of extra spaces.
Materials list/cost?
