512 Standing Orders

Early on in the semester I was present for a guest lecture William Hales who, after the ever present technical difficulties, presented us with a demonstration of technology currently in use in the theatre sphere. The specific software that he showed us was a software called QLAB which allows for the control of other softwares …

Copyleft

I want to talk about copyright, partly because it was something covered in my class and we watched a wonderful documentary called RiP! A Remix Manifesto. Copyright affects me personally on a day to day basis with 3D printing but it has been affecting me since I was young. I can remember downloading music illegally using …

These Images Move Me

I've seen more and more use of projectors in artistic settings since starting university. I come from a military background and, generally, projectors are used for two things in the army: power points and simulations. We use quite a bit of high end hardware in military for this as well as that main thing for …

Can I Get a Double Long RV With Two Bedrooms and a Pool Table?

I have had an interest in computers for quite a long time, most of my life, in fact. My father attended one of the first high schools in England that had a computer science class back when computers were the size of the desk I sit at as I type this. Growing up, we purchased …

Subversive Composition

I will be honest, I am not a singer, musician, or anything of the sort. In that way, I always hugely admire people who can write music or play an instrument or sing. My sister can sing and dance and play guitar and unfortunately I am not capable of any of that. I guess it …

These Boots Are Made For Walking

CAD, 3D printing, awesome, exactly what I enjoy doing. The assignment I was looking forward to this semester was the 3D modelling and printing assignment. I have a 3D printer and I use both Blender and Fusion 360 in m work flow for printing. We started out folding origami paper into what ever we want. …

White Boy Ain’t Got No Rythm

I had the pleasure of taking part in my universities Flatland workshop and found out that I am definitely better at listening to music rather than making it. That doesn't mean that I didn't learn anything from this. For year now I have been listening to more and more music that relies on electronic synthesis …

RECreation

I have to admit that the URL:IRL art exhibit by the Dunlop Art Gallery at the main branch of the Regina Public Library is the first art exhibit I have ever been to. There were many things that were cool and that definitely pushed art into a more electronic medium than I have been used …
