it is on and running! big shout to rob worley and dan barker of free form, they are my heroes! it looks great, as i hoped, it doesn't look threatening, it looks gentle :) see the pictures… i'll post video either on my web site or on youtube soon…
sleeping in the building was not bad either ;) frixos is looking after everything right now and i'll be back in the building in couple of hours to start preparation for the private view – thank god we set up everything yesterday :)
this is 50% of the original speed of the video material. tonight it slows down to 30%. friday 20%. saturday 10% (this looks very powerful – hope it will have the same effect when is projected). sunday, all eyes close – it is also video, but only 5% frame rate.
all ready to move in and switch projections on :) tonite i'll see the installation completed for the first time! last week, while we were installing projector mounts – we had two projectors on at a time…finally, today is the "all 10 projectors" projection before the private view tomorrow. i hope it will be beautiful :) and i hope no one will complain, so the installation will see the end as i originally planned.
i'll also film every evening – documetation…
had a walk through the building to check all the doors, wrote up a notice to th neighbours to inform them about the installation. i have to stay in the building for the duration of the installation… safety and security measures…

another qiuck one :) burned 54 dvds so far – another 16 to go today. annie's coming to help me finish screens and rob worley and dan barker of free form are coming in the evening to start fixing the projector mounts.
still not sure waht to do with the projectors – rob abd dan will bring their projectors and i'll pick up the rest of projectors till the end of the week… i'll try and find a secure place to leave them till monyday when all is going up.
just a quick one befote i shoot off to space studios to burn dvds for the installation.
i'm being more and more nervous about everything and my back is not helping either.
started fixing screens, stephen emmott, an old friend jumped in the last moment after another friend cancelled helping me with the screens. stephen was perfect person for the job – tall enough to staple curtains to ceiling with such ease… it was great. we fixed four screens in two hours – much faster than i first anticipated.
now, 70 dvd to burn – very slow process.
bought all the hooks and chains for the mounts, emailed all the invites… still need to pick up chains from cutting.
i can feel the preassure… breathe, just breathe.
