Here's the latest

(I'll pay special attention to getting the bear more fierce! when I do the next version).
Also put a fade on Tina, so see what you think about that. In the meantime, send me an email or reply via comments with any suggestions.

Hmm, maybe I'll re-look at the angle of the rainbow on the facing lightbox???










And the latest park layout...






















And some drafts (not quite finished but you get the idea) of the last boxes on the park facing side, and still to reshoot/substitute hi res images for the stage set images)

spectrum

filling a few gaps of the current layout...?

rainbow bear bar spectrum

ok ok, gettin a little closer to intentions... fluent spectrum yet you think??

field trip bino camp ott byo...?

Err...I'm not sure...finding it hard to do group bino # as pair...cease and desist or push through?

the other was looking a little, well, something wasn't right... I've borrowed and mashed a bit from across the aesthetic conversations, it's so difficult to get the off-kilter down...

falling and staging

Another pair, potentially hot for the night-time? I've flipped the dark matter image horizontally and inverted the black text in the middle of the lit stages to white text on black background.

Tonight, I'm going to work on Binocular Safari as I'd really like to have all of you in the jeep and get some hints of blog/digi spice in the right-hand panel - on the one hand I can see that you are already on my safari, and I'm on yours, when I look around, but it's not the same as having you there under the same savanna skies... watch this space.

I'll send through proofed text of BK texts 1 and 2; the Topp Twins text; and this line in case we want to use it (original had spelling mistake -'untill':

'she was never gay until 2 days ago when she came out on the blog' (tick).

I also feel I'm missing the hands in the black curtains by M+C...

and something for the 'odd sock' box: http://www.stuff.co.nz/oddstuff/4373183/Undertakers-offer-coffins-for-gay-market

Match Making

Some of the ones I like. In a particular order:
After thinking otherwise, I actually think that the pink packaging looks great coming from above, and works as a good partner with the TT letter. The text under the dildo pack image is your Beatrice Krill 1 and 2 short texts Rachel. They are working for me with the manner in which the packaging is presented in the image.


Rachel, I could only fit four of the bone image/text panes in the lightbox format! I made a cursory decision to send one home. If you are interested in this format for the works, then let me know if you are OK with four, or I can re-think to get them all in!








One thing that is URGENT I imagine, is to get a selection of images sorted for the meeting on Tuesday. I thought the best idea would be for Clare and I to send you a file each of the images that we have been working on at a good size to print out (ie. single light boxes each A4 page). Would this be the best idea?? Perhaps in doing this we can all make mini-decisions about what our fav versions are of the things we have been working on are?

Rachel and Liz, can you let us know what format etc would be ace for you? I can get mine to you in time for your first thing Tuesday morning. I hope this is OK? I guess the other idea would be for you to pull stuff off the blog -- or even use it in the meeting? Might be a bit clumsy though.

she was never gay until two days ago when she came out on the blog

les bino four wheel drive

four wheel drive options - just got Liz's pic in, though before that was using Liz's desktop as her-as-bino - but added the pic-itself in too. Thoughts on arrangement, two bino participants to one light-box, or three of four...? and to take it one step further...

or with a hint of black = blog scroll at base

some elements to work with?

invisible communities

A test to see if covering all the faces of on the stage set might work. Image selection still open but I'm interested in keeping it to published/distributed media (albums, magazines, posters, book covers etc) - media that makes, and echos communities.

I miss a community here. I want more visibility. Where are all the gays in my immediate community, on the art scene? We seem a little thin on the ground here. Where are we on the street? I know there is a gay scene here, but it seems so underground. I don’t think I’m looking in the right places. I can’t be.
So I've been curiously digging around online, following one link to another, finding a plethora of bands, albums, interviews, tv series, movies, blog - whatever might lean towards a familiar echo - and finding good company in them. My friend accurately described it recently as the potential of any distributed media to create an invisibly connected community.

Curse

Hum de hum. I need some sleep, but thinking about the roll, the scroll and the potentials of a sequence to surprise.

Talk in the morning. Yeah.

Woo Aaaa Hooo

We did some shooting today with the hired camera. I think Clare fell in love with the lens. Anyway, these are some of the images we took:

Can we join your safari Rachel?

Pretty please?

Heeeey, I can see my house from here

Along with the safari look, we also did some piles of abandoned clothes:


This our mock-up for a hyperbola of clothing, in a lightbox format (click to enlarge):

And a yummy version of the lesbian rule (which we do by the way):

For some mysterious reason, we have been given an extra day with the camera tomorrow. This is a super lucky situation, as we only have about four hours of decent natural light in Rotterdam at the mo. So, Clare is going to do some more images including:

• An image of a print-out of a copy of the "nipple painting"
• The stage sets
• torches
  

Feel free to send any requests, and let us know how you feel, don't feel, want to feel about the above images....
