whens the exhibition next week? I’m thinking 7pm on thursday the 2nd with set up from 5?

can someone confirm, and perhaps send a group email? liam?

i have just added my project blog (http://streetsignmelbourne.blogspot.com/) to the blogroll on the left, so check it out!

hey guys,

i need your help! im in the middle of making my project (aptly named in the title) which consists of a interactive virtual mapping program, that i have developed in flash, that catalogues snapshots of city life around the world. for this project im obviously just focusing on melbourne…it is hoped this program will become a web based system that people can feed into and share their experiences and fav spaces of respite etc etc (sortove like a lonely planet concept or like those decks of cards – bar & club secrets)…a type of tourist guide for residents already in the city…heres where u can come in…ive already catalogued a few of my fav spaces in the city eg. my fav lunch spot, my fav running track, etc etc spaces that i personally use and enjoy…spaces that may differ from the more traditional tourist attraction circuit…spaces that locals can identify and connect with….

it would be great if i can get some of your fav spaces so i can include them into my program for presentation….they can be any spaces you like in the cbd and surrounding area! “c’mon create you own city postcard!” (haha sorry for the corny ad gimmick)  all you need to do is email me the folowing: 1/name of your space  2/describe it – why you like it etc 3/ how to get there…is there a special way…a short cut?  3/ a pic would b get you lollies and a special hi 5…

 I would like to create a document collating each of our projects to date.

If each of us can provide me with a concise and pithy outline of your work including:

• your name and student number and picture of yourself

• area of interest

• how you arrived at it (background to your thinking – the exploration that led you to where you are now)

• the concept being proposed even if not completely resolved at this stage…an emerging thing is fine..

• a copy of your poster – with text legible.

• your review of someone elses work.

Much of this will be in your posters…which most of us took down..

Could you please send these to me as attachments via email at s3050465@student.rmit.edu.au ASAP.

 It would also be great to create a log of reactions and sentiments undergone while navigating this whole “silence and other ways” brief…So if you are feeling particularly zealous maybe send through your rants and reflections on the progress of the studio…these don’t have to be academic or entertaining and can be out and out therapy or whatever- anything is appreciated – and does not have to be attributed.
