I wish I’d had time to write during the festival. Each day brought new craziness. For instance, washing the bus…The BCIT students very kindly said they’d wash it for me and drive it into position, so off it went round the corner for a steam wash. A little later, the main guy who gives the […]

Tried the projections outside last night, the look great! Despite everyone saying no way would you be able to see anything with the solstice sun. Today I have to get the bus cleaned and moved into position, pick up tons of little pieces of kit from all over town and try and listen to my […]

This will feature our film studio where anyone can come and make a Memo Mondo. This is a happy memory related through […]

This is my last month and there are a fair number of events coming up.
I’m doing four radio broadcasts on Citr 101.9 http://www.citr.ca/ . These are remixes of the conversations I’m recording with people at the UBC campus who work with satellites. The dates are every Thursday at midnight from June 8th - so June […]

So I haven’t written for ages. I was working on the Impakt website -that’s looking better. The webcams are of things the satellites are interested in looking at, like telescopes and receiving dishes and buildings that look like they’re trying to touch the sky and mountains and volcanos. They are also fascinated with the edges […]
