I’ve been around Frequency Festival between exhibiting The Lincoln Simulacrum, and I’ve been kidnapped by virtual clowns, learnt to dance in the House Of Mystery, I’ve seen angels glimpsed through the corner of your eye, I’ve been Ulrika for a mission by Blast Theory, whom I met to find out how this derive had been created using mobile phones and call centre server tech to create an interactive spy adventure game around the city.
I was also fortunate enough to meet with Chris and Impossible, who had created a similar sphere to our Light Space Modulator, and were doing similar things to Apparatjik, but they’d never heard of Apparatjik, and he was intrigued by this.
We’ve been at the eye of the storm, so I’ve been Cloudbusting over the weekend – my graphic novel Kickstarter has achieved another backer, and a friend of a friend has offered to write an article about it, which is really awesome!
So, we couldn’t get into the space to open up for the final day today, the door had jammed shut after yesterday’s Viking Biking Expedition, and we ended up calling out a locksmith just to get in!
I’d been sitting in the space observing how passing traffic was casting light, and I spent some time making some basic stencils to cover the window on the door. An Apparatjik on a bike and a space invader, and today the passing traffic projected these images onto the Light Space Modulator.
There was a performance by Rebecca Willoughby, and visitors had mostly been put off by the severe weather forecast, but we were all really pleased with the exhibition and the possibility for paid opportunities to follow.

I’ve been saying this since January, but if I don’t get paid now, I’m now at risk of getting into debt, and homelessness.
I’ve been recommended to become a Bikeability instructor, on the back of the Viking Biking Expeditions, which I will apply for, and which should earn enough to cover the shortfall. Apparently, the council are desperate for Bikeability instructors, so if I don’t get this job I really will give up all hope…
