Hi everyone,

Thanks again for an interesting show and for being the first collaboration between two courses who are very different.

The following clip is also an interesting example for how music and performance work together.

The Journey Of Materials:

PLASTIC:
A wall / barrier
Chalkboard
Wind/Waves
Fragile/Delicate
Water Ripples (Lake)
Wall / Barrier
Floor Covering

CLOTHES:
Habitat
Pile
Clothes
Airbourne Things
Cover
Mask / Monster
Dress

CLINGFILM:
Remnants of a cocoon
A cocoon

WATER/ICE:
Three states: Solid (Ice) Liquid (Water) and Gaseous (Steam)

Still to consider: Steel Wool, Ball… I can’t think of anymore but I am sure there are more if people want to add them on.

title idea: 0.01 *C
(the * would be a degree symbol)

reasoning: Triple point

The temperature and pressure at which solid, liquid, and gaseous water coexist in equilibrium is called the triple point of water. This point is used to define the units of temperature (the kelvin, the SI unit of thermodynamic temperature and, indirectly, the degree Celsius and even the degree Fahrenheit). As a consequence, water’s triple point temperature is a prescribed value rather than a measured quantity. The triple point is at a temperature of 273.16 K (0.01 °C) by convention, and at a pressure of 611.73 Pa. This pressure is quite low, about 1/166 of the normal sea level barometric pressure of 101,325 Pa. The atmospheric surface pressure on planet Mars is remarkably close to the triple point pressure, and the zero-elevation or “sea level” of Mars is defined by the height at which the atmospheric pressure corresponds to the triple point of water.

Like the idea that at that temperature water has the POTENTIAL to be in any state.

Tesco online have gym balls for quite a bit cheaper – they have grey (silver?) ones for £3.20 (That’s for a 75cm ball which I think is the larger one) and then have bright blue ones for £2.92 (which are slightly smaller at 65cm).

Check out: http://direct.tesco.com/q/N.1999332$4294960593/Nr.99.aspx?Ns=P_HIDDEN_Stock_Available%7C1%7C%7CP_SORT_Price&btnResultSort.x=41&btnResultSort.y=11

Even if these ones aren’t good enough quality to use for the actual show they might be good to have to play around with – esp. if we want to play around with slitting them to get water out….

Hey guys,
Been pricing the gym balls and the are well expensive we are looking at 80 for 6 and hat is cheap. Was thinking that we could look at alternative that can be painted?

Here are some of the process pics we promised – a lot of these images might not make it to the final show but it gives an idea of the feel of the material we are working with…

Plastic Igloos!

sarahhunter — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 13:45:04 +0000

While at home in Edinburgh this weekend I stumbled (literally) across this tent that my nephews have…. It’s from Ikea and it is an igloo made of plastic. I thought with all the stuff we have been talking about – attempting to create “natural” things out of industrial materials – that this was kind of interesting…. I’m not sure what purpose they could serve but I kind of enjoy them…!
