The artist Tod Hanson was commissioned to create a new piece of public art for the entranceway and staircase of The Storey building. He produced brightly coloured decorative paintings on the walls and ceilings which both echo the historic architecture and bring it up to date.
Tod gave this talk about the development of the piece, and how it relates to his previous work. He described and illustrated his influences including comics, punk, space-travel, rococo architecture, skate-board parks, Gilray, Cruickshank, fairgrounds, and his parents’ house.

The present difficulties of the Egyptian energy economy demands more than one renewable energy power plant, rather it´s necessary to look at the energy situation in its entirety. And that begins with the raise of awareness for energy and ends with the development of Egyptian know how as well as providing the use of local manufactered system components.
Deep in the remaining old growth forests of Borneo, the Setulang Dayak village guards its forest with deep commitment. To date, the village’s traditional law of Tana Olen (forbidden forest), withstands increasing pressure from encroaching logging industries. Now as rapid development rolls in, the village is trying to secure sustainable and forest-friendly future, including a eco-tourism venture and carbon credits.

*About this Project*
Collaboratively made with Indigenous storytellers, these videobriefs are told in local languages, respect Intellectual Property rights and provide storytellers with media training, resources and a fair media engagement model for future projects. The final videos played alongside other international climate change videos at a locally coordinated forum event, in April 2009’s Indigenous Peoples Climate Change Summit and later at a special screening at the National Museum of Denmark during the Copenhagen COP15 meeting.
*About the filmmakers*
Luis Patron- Co-director/Camera/Editor

Citt Williams- Co-director/Producer/Editor
Citt is a documentary filmmaker at the UNU Media Studio with over 12 years producing experience in broadcast media. Citt’s produced documentary films have been screened at festivals including Cannes (Yellow Fella), Sundance, Mumbai, Melbourne and by broadcasters including the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Discovery and National Geographic. She has a Masters degree in documentary from the Australian Film Television and Radio School (Sydney) and a Business degree in Film and TV Production from QUT (Brisbane). Within UNU, her unit “Media Studio” (MS) has grounded expertise in online learning, interactive media and video production and in linking development issues with visual media and online content on social and environmental issues. Her role in the UNU-IAS Traditional Knowledge Initiative seeks to build greater understanding and facilitate awareness of traditional knowledge (TK) to inform action by Indigenous peoples, local communities and domestic and international policy makers. Key outputs include research activities, policy studies, capacity development and online learning and dissemination.
Setulang Village Forest Management Board
The village of Setulang in the Malinau District of Kalimantan is exceptionally committed to conserving their forest. There are, however, tenure disputes between Setulang and neighbouring villages who have brokered deals with logging companies. Yet, Setulang’s commitment has piqued the conservation interests of neighbouring villages. Setulang is interested in marshalling support for the continued conservation of the Setulang forest area. General goals and specific objectives: (1) implementing conservation activities in the Setulang forest area and (2) working with neighbouring villages to resolve tenure disputes the area of conserved forest and better ensure its integrity, sustainability and management. IUCN projects have provided support to three villages for forest custodianship conflict-resolution, training in livelihood options for the benefit of forest conservation, and help local villagers to communicate with local government over forest management.
United Nations University Media Studio
The UNU Media Studio was established in March 2003 and works in collaboration with a global network of partners to develop and share open educational resources. Through a small team based in Tokyo, the UNU promotes innovation in the building of interactive content and video documentaries that engage, entertain and educate. The core creative team is comprised of specialists in web and graphic design, documentary and multimedia production, as well as educational technology and instructional design. In developing projects, this team collaborates with subject matter experts from within the UNU, from other UN bodies and from partner universities. The UNU Media Studio also collaborates with independent professionals in the area of documentary production, web application development, web design and instructional design. mediastudio.unu.edu

This is a ‘remix’ of sorts of the awesomely good Lifeforce demo by Andromeda Software Development (you can find it here: http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=31571 )
I made a basic slitscanner, and changed it a bit to produce video. I store the last 640 frames, and take a 1 pixel slice from each frame. These are then placed along the x axis to produce an image. Each frame, a new frame is added to the queue, shifting the queue back, and the position on x of the slice is also shifted by one pixel. I hope that makes some kind of sense, it doesn’t make much to me 🙂
It’s pretty much inspired by all the other slit scanner stuff out there, but particularly the one that produced this video: http://www.vimeo.com/1398634 The method is the same, but I added movement on x to create more motion.
Sorry about the ‘cutting’ every few seconds – when the slice reaches the far right of the image it cuts back to the left, causing a jump. I’ll change it to sweep back to the left instead some time.
I think there’s a bug somewhere too, as the resolution looks lower than it should. I’ll fix these things then release it as a .qtz file or perhaps a tool.
Oh, and it’s slow. Like 8 seconds per frame slow. .75gb of texture data per frame, plus QC’s iterator = pain!

CONTENT
Andreas Böhler and Anja Hartig, two fellow students and I, are currently working on ‘A Game of Choices’, an interactive claymation flash-game. We built different clay-sets, that the stop motion animated character will later walk through. In order to achieve a smooth walk-through experience, we photographed the 100 cm wide set in 200 highly precise steps. When it comes to precision photography, one can find dozens of systems available. However, professional systems are expensive and therefore out of reach for this project.
As I had recently begun playing with the open-source hardware-platform Arduino, I decided to take it a step further and build a single axis motion control myself. The basic configuration was quickly developed and assembled, however, it presented some severe issues. For example, the shafts were too weak to handle heavy lenses, as the platform would lean to one side. I had to reinforce the system with a second set of shafts that now allows it to handle up to 3 kg of mounted weight.
Another problem arose while testing the system: The rotation of the threaded spindle was unbalanced. As I didn’t have access to a CNC machine at that time, the multiple minor inaccuracies in various parts added up to an unbalanced rotation so I had to apply a workaround by letting the flange nut translate vertically. It may look odd, but the horizontal precision is not noticeably affected. Programming the Arduino board is easy when you’re familiar with a programming language like C, PHP, Python or similar.
If you don’t have great knowledge about electronics, you might want to look into some basics or you’re most probably going to blow up some chips and LEDs – at least that’s what I did… After all, this project was fun and very interesting as it was my first step into the world of physical computing. The possibilities are exciting and I can’t wait to start my next Arduino project – right now, I’m just spoiled for choice.
Phil McGain will guide you though the process of correct rigging and tuning MauiSails TR-6 race sail.
TR-6 is the perfect evolution of easy to manage power and acceleration, comfortable handling, and impressive speed. World Championship results in Formula, and Pro Slalom and Speed wins are in the lineage of the TR design catalogue, and the feedback and observations of the competitors who test and perform with them provides the foundation of the development. Each year there is a search for the elusive ideal, and the TR-6 is our statement.
