Keep copyright on music sensible
[2008.02.29] petition against extending the terms of copyright on recorded music
I'm all for artists being able to survive from their endevours, but copyright extensions aren't helping them, just big businesses.

[2008.01.12]
Karen just sent me a link to www.botanicus.org with regards to sourcing imagery for work we are doing on the Grizedale Arts website, for visual reference. It's full of scans of out of copyright books from the Missouri Botanical Garden Library, and it's full of wonderful things.Botanicus is a freely accessible, Web-based encyclopedia of historic botanical literature from the Missouri Botanical Garden Library. Botanicus is made possible through support from the W.M. Keck Foundation and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Almanac
[2007.11.15] 
Films: http://www.somewhere.org.uk/almanacfilms
Project: http://www.somewhere.org.uk/almanacProject Summary
The Almanac project involved collecting time lapse photography from 5 sites, over the course of a year. These images are used to generate 1 minute video sequence that is shown each day on the main screen at Cinema City in Norwich. The video sequence is specific to the current date, and the site displayed is picked at random from the selection available.
This project has been going on for 4.5 years, and is now finally installed and running in the cinema. The project was initially commissioned solely for presentation for the cinema, but we have added a web presence for the videos at http://www.somewhere.org.uk/almanacfilms where each days film is posted after it has been generated for the cinema.
You can find out more information on the background to the project on the main Almanac site on somewhere's website.
My Role
I've been involved since the early stages of the project in advising on how to manage the collection, recording and storage of images, creating test versions and finally building the end database and software to generate the video clips which are displayed in the cinema, and to dynamically create and upload versions to the project website.

Almanac is a a project that I've been working on with Somewhere for almost five years, which we finally installed yesterday, at Cinema City in Norwich.
Though it's not quite complete yet so I'm not blogging it as work until I've got it complete, Nina has posted some photos of our install up on flickr over here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nina_pope/sets/72157602449689423/
