Explosives

In 1894 explosives were shipped from the icy factory, Nobles Explosives Company in Scotland,unloaded in Fremantle and then transported to Kalgoorlie by camel train or horse drawn wagons.

Their wasn't an explosion with the explosives but here I'm just showing if they did go off this is what they probably looked like Also the explosives that where transported in a celled box, the other photo is the explosives in a paper box with the two electrical detonators out in the for ground.

Then in the sky faintly is the Scottish flag of where they came from first.

Here I am using my site wall as a test for this coloured transparent photo of camels that I have manipulated in a different way using Gimp 2.8

Related To My Site Information

In 1894 explosives were shipped from the icy factory, Nobles Explosives Company in Scotland, unloaded in Fremantle and then transported to Kalgoorlie by camel train or horse drawn wagons.
The transport from the factory to the mine took 4 - 6 months.

An explosives magazine was constructed in Kalgoorlie to prevent theft and to keep the explosives cool and dry.
The building had an outer and inner skin with vents to the interior. As the sun heated the roof, cool air was drawn from under the building into the ventilation system.
There were no windows build for the sunlight to enter and artificial lighting was strictly prohibited.
Only the magazine keeper had keys and nobody entered the magazine without him.

Wave of erasure

Wind in my sail...

It was a very, VERY windy day when I went out Monday to test out the sail. Did i mention it was windy?

HTML tests

i have been writing basic html files and integrating media into web pages and testing them via free new hosting services, what i post on http://tylert.net84.net is ever changing because it is my test area.

i have been playing with a program used processing, using written codes you can create visual interactive animations. then using the java script version you can make the files upload able into webpages.

this was just me learning how to insert gifs into a webpage by writing writing html files and seeing how gifs can work together.

Errichetti: Neon Toilet

During my visits to my site i've noticed a trend. A trend of alcohol bottles and the smell of piss. Through this and my own late night adventures i can be certain this alcove is a frequent stop for people out on the town. Ive decided to represent the space using neon like colours to evoke the nightclub mood.

EXIT ROUND AND ROUND WE GO

Hey, it is worth a look at Louise Morrison's pinterest page to view some images of the studio site project from Tuesday. Some of our class members...

If it was all up to a child's imagination

While walking down Hope Street I heard a young child scream followed by a dog barking and small child-like laughter. I looked through a gap in a fence to see a child smiling and playing with her pet dog. The yard that this young child was playing in was pretty much all made of concrete. I was thinking about this and came to the thought; "what happened to the days in which parents would take their children to the park or having a barkyard with a lawn?" These days most of our houses are surrounded by roads, houses and more roads, with our community parks becoming smaller in size until thay are reduced to nothing.

Mock-up and final install of Sail

Mock-up

Final 

We had some really windy days and I was terribly scared my sail wouldn't hold up to the conditions. Before taking my sail to site I made a mock-up to test some knots and stress-test the whole thing. 

The weather on the day was still windy but having tested and reinforced my knots and anchor points, the wind added body and animation to the artwork. (gifs and video to follow.)

  The show passes its history since the first self-portraits made in the late 70s to the photographs of fragments of his body, which respond to different needs of the photographer at the time to tell us your particular decomposition of self-portrait. Collect images of the series that could be named generically "intimate landscapes", places that are part of their experiences and what they feel the urgency of designing, and video works in which brings together photography, sequential image and soundtrack to build first-person accounts and emerge the viewer in an increasingly narrative universe.

Overworked

 

As a part of my studio work I've been looking into overworking and layering to represent my site and its history. I feel the digital medium has relevance due to my site being recently implemented and the overworking is reminiscent of how the site has completely erased or covered the history. 

I find that using a photo then creating something unrecognisable can create interesting compositions of their own.

DETOUR DO NOT PASS

As part of my studio project I've put up signs like these out of the context in which they were originally intended, I wanted to play of the idea that the government seems to have this attitude that the general public can't be trusted and also the general fear that people in the cities seem to have either subconsciously or not that they don't want to be caught being in the wrong place or where they aren't suppose to be.
I wanted to put a fun and playful spin on this by putting up these signs and taking photo's with these signs in the least expected places.
