potluck and film project

just a reminder to everyone that our semesterly potluck will take place this coming tuesday, feb 3rd in the sculpture classroom, art bldg c. bring some food and samples of your current work.

also, we are taking a flexible approach to our installtion project. the installation is really about mental processes and how they involve both perception and imagination. the video and music components are serving as the perception in our installation. the video does not necessarily have to be of someone driving, as this detail is not a part of the concept. that being said, we have decided to experiment over this week. if you have a digital camera with a video setting on it, take short videos of whatever events or activities you find visually or conceptually interesting. just remember that the film is to be heavily visual and to not rely on sound. it could still be a video of, say, a person talking, as that may be visually or conceptually compelling. bring the a/v chord that came with your camera and we will hook the cameras up to a tv and watch all our short clips on mute during our potluck and talk about what direction we want to go with the video component.

hope to see y'all there!

update 2009

for anyone who was not able to come to our first meeting...


we talked about the new situation with admix. due to sponsorship, we have a new set of specs for admix, which might be negotiable in the future:

1. admix will be printed on glossy paper
2. the whole outmost page will be printed in color, so we will have color front and back covers, as well as color inside those covers
3. we run programming for program council, which is arranged by their graphics people and submitted to us, taking up 2-3 of admix's pages, which are limited to a total of 16
4. we are able to print 200 copies of admix, 3 issues each semester
5. the printing center assembles the zine - no more folding and stapling!
6. we set up a schedule for deadlines of sumbission, and dates of publication. since the printing center needs 5 business days to handle the job and the editors must have time to ensure that the zine conforms to the alloted specs, the schedule is as follows:
issue 1:
deadline for submissions: friday january 23, 7pm
submission to printing center: monday january 26th, 8am
publication release date: monday, february 2nd
issue 2:
deadline for submissions: friday february 20th, 7pm
submission to printing center: monday february 23rd, 8am
publication release date: monday, march 2nd
issue 3:
deadline for submissions: monday, march 23rd
submission to printing center: wednesday, march 25th
publication release date: wednesday, april 1st

for the next two weeks, we will be meeting in the sculpture classroom in art bldg c, on tuesday nights at 7. this tuesday (26th), we will start tasking out our film project. our semesterly potluck is scheduled for february 3rd - that's where we bring food and samples of our current work and share. good times.

stay tuned...
