FeONIC
I attended a visiting lecture at DogA friday morning featuring Brian Smith, managing director of FeONIC. This company has through the means of innovative research and design developed some truly unique products. These products when attached to a surface that is able to resonate, such as a tabletop or a window, transforms the whole surface into a loudspeaker.
We were given a demonstration during the lecture. Brian Smith plugged his iPod to two small units attached to a couple of large glass windows behind him, practically turning them into high-quality loudspeakers! It was truly amazing and mindboggling to experience in real life, you really have to see and hear it for yourself to comprehend. And think of all the possibilites! We were shown some videos of the devices being used as public address systems on train stations, onboard large ships and as parts of art installations. Amazing.
Head over to FeONIC for more information on their technology and products.
pang!
So yesterday we had this workshop at school (PANG!) where all students, teachers and staff where supposed to participate and work together in groups.. We were given a set of materials consisting of bamboo, some bad textile material and twine, and told to make “something”. And so we did. Below are a few pictures from the workshop, which was rather cool actually and culminated in a dinner and drinking at the AHO pub…
and below are some “in progress” pictures of the “piece” created by my group.
presenting the final result, I kinda like it’s upright, and stiff expression
also looked cool at night
library day
Exploring creativity 02.09
Einar (our course teacher) was sick today so there wasn’t any lecture. We were however instructed to use the day in the library to find and research books about/related to creativity.
Some of the books I wanted to get were unfortunately already on loan, but I got this one norwegian book. Its title, roughly translated, is “practical rethinking -systematic and creative problem-solving” by Leif-Runar Forseth. I didn’t really read much of though as I got kind of distracted by all the cool magazines in the library…
I will see if I find anything interesting in the book during the rest of the week
Exploring Creativity
So, there is this course…called “exploring creativity” We are supposed to discover, research and explore our own direction within creativity. I think.
But what exactly are directions within creativity…? Enlightening suggestions anyone?
