    Review: MAD ROOM

    Art Exhibition Review This Soft-Spoken Artist Shouts Through Her Art There has been substantial controversy in recent decades over the popular view that mental illness and creativity go hand in hand. Research shows that the two are not linked in inevitable lock-step. Nevertheless, Gloria Swain (pictured left), who speaks openly about her struggle with mental […]

    So, my love for making photos look old goes back to…

    by

    Made by hand


    made by generator

    So, my love for making photos look old goes back to @bionicteaching and a long time. This photo of @gifadog was the first one I ever made. I used a blog post written by Tom and fell in love with the idea as well as learning a lot about how to Photoshop.

    So the top photo (labelled ‘made by hand’) is the one I made. You can find it on Flickr and also read the comment there. It took a long time to make. It takes me less time now but it is still in the region of hours to get ‘just so’. I also feel a sense of ownership for each blemish I add and that makes me love the ‘old’ photo I end up with. 

    Today’s Daily create asks us to use a generator for the same purpose. I was not going to do it, as I am a bit of a snob when it comes to apps and generators…but this is the Daily Create, we must obey! 

    The bottom photo (labelled ‘made by generator’) is my submission for today’s daily create. Clearly much easier, upload a photo and download the ‘old’ photo. Emotional attachment to output? None.

    Which do you prefer and why?

    On Project-Based Learning

    by
      Project-based learning peaked my interest when I reflected back on my school years and realized how much more engaged and in control I was in my own learning when I was involved in either an individual or a group project. I was also intrigued by this method of learning when I watched children in […]

    Publication OA: Geographical Imagination in Forthcoming _Intl Encyc of Geography_

    by

    I recently made my article, “Size Matters to Lesbians Too: Queer Feminist Interventions into the Scale of Big Data,” public via the open access (OA) services SocArxchiv and SSRN. While I am sharing a new publication through same means but on the geographical imagination–the topic of my first blog post and, still and weirdly, my most popular–I also want to write a little more about why I am keen to place my OA work in these archives. Specifically, my dear friend / feminist geographer Sara Koopman pointed out in a recent comment that I didn’t “explain why [I] like these two cites better than academia[.edu] or research gate – both of which have their issues but are WAY prettier and easier to use than these two [sites, i.e. SSRN and SocArxchiv].” Indeed! In brief: while I will surely load my work to academia.edu and ResearchGate as well, I …

    Tailspin

    by
    Tailspin is a fascinating interactive text that uses sound to tell the story with sparse text and striking images as supplements for the story. It is focused around a father/grandfather figure that is suffering from tinnitus and reflects the way he communicates (or fails to communicate) through a haze of chaotic and discordant sounds. The … Continue reading Tailspin

    VITA RAYS/Jon Favreau and Iron Man 1

    by
    VITA RAYS is an occasional series about superheroes. I have a theory that there are three bedrock, foundational, without-this-there’s-no-MCU reasons why the first Iron Man was such a success. The movie is rightfully described as the “Big Bang” of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it needed three things in order to be the genre-defining, industry-transforming […]

    Start book demo at Word Vancouver

    by
    I gave a demonstration on how to make a star book at Word, a literary festival that took place at the Vancouver Public Library today. I started by sharing examples of star books. Then I sowed a book and assembled the pages into a star book. The theme of my book was the Word festival. […]

    Yet another Daily Create…actually this one was not for…

    by


    Yet another Daily Create…actually this one was not for DS106 but as it has taken me days and days to pull together,  I thought that I could offer the .PSD file for #artdropday. So far, no takers. I guess it is a bit boring to count as art! It was made for a blog post elsewhere on the subject of our relationship to social media. You can find funnier gifs at @gifadog ‘s Tumblr, I guess.
