All Join Hands art sale with Agent Ali at the Vine Trust
“All Join Hands” art sale with Agent Ali at the Vine Trust in Leith tonight. Contributed some art and did some projecting as part of Guerrilla Projections. Tried projecting across the water to the hull of the orange ship but didn’t factor in the powerful harbour lights (which aren’t on during the day and not obvious) pointing straight back at the projector. I also couldn’t get closer due to the water so couldn’t narrow the focus enough to just hit the hull – meaning half the image was lost above the hull or water. But it worked OK on the bus side as an alternative.
Nice weather, lovely people, beautiful art and a great night. Thank you Agent Ali x
spooky magic mirror
Raspberry Pi project to create a mirror that when a motion sensor is triggered it morphs the reflection into a scary face.
Also portrait idea of young girl (image from AtmosFX http://atmosfx.com/) morphing into skeleton.
I used a reflective mirror film over plexiglass from an Ikea frame but it isn’t working that well #disappointed – the screen doesn’t fit the frame and the frame is clearly visible. Will need a bespoke frame me-thinks. Especially as I took the monitor apart to fit the frame – should have fitted the frame to the monitor. Hey ho was fun seeing how the inside of the monitor is wired.
The reflective foil stuff works OK
The concept works at least just need some perfecting.

Ebenezer McRae is discovered at LWS
One of Edinburgh’s great architects has been rediscovered at Leith Walk Studios, Ebenezer McRae. The studios are housed in the last remnants of the old Edinburgh Trams Department – the headquarters and main trams garage. These are due for demolition by Edinburgh City Council but the spirit of Ebenezer haunts the alley and wants to see his heritage preserved.
