I am proud to show you my OFFF2010 Catalogue submission inspired by the theme ‘Nostalgia For A Past Future’.
My submission made it into the OFFF2010 Catalogue, which was available at the venue La Grande Halle de la Villette in Paris.
The catalogues features artists from the OFFF2010 event including loopita, openroom and guest artists selected from submissions.
A personal thanks to Greig Anderson Creative Director at Effektive for posting his memories submission on the Effektive website.

This is a rare chance to feast your eyes on a memories submission as we are holding back the majority of artwork for the book.
The submission was inspired by a personal memory found in my story. It is amazing to see the project coming together and how individual artists portray each story in print. This piece sums up my story with huge visual impact. I love it!

The design duo Simon Dovar and Nils Davey are Binary & The Brain, and they’ve thrown their weight behind Memories project. Formerly Jawa & Midwich, they do all kinds of design work including book covers and music packaging, as well as online work. The image you see here is from their self-initiated poster range. Another interesting thing about them is that their studio is trans-Atlantic and transcontinental. Simon is based in London and Nils in Los Angeles. We’ve asked them to create an image for a story called The Fox Cubs by leukaemia survivor Sarah Yates. Our thanks go out to Binary & The Brain. Please take a look at their website here.
I participated in the OpenFrameworks Lab as part of the Decode Exhibition at the V&A museum.
I have set up a source code repository for experiments & examples.
www.code.oneteneleven.com Here you will find my code experiments & sample experiments from the weekend.
Please Download the .zip files to experiment with the examples.
As part of the drawing group the experiments are based around drawing tools and techniques along with some particle tests.
Visit www.openframeworks.cc to download & install OpenFrameworks for MAC, PC & Linux.
I will be adding further tests and setup guides to this page so keep checking back.
Font Aid IV: Coming Together, a Collaborative Typeface
The Society of Typographic Aficionados (SOTA) is announcing the launch of Font Aid IV, a project uniting the typographic and design communities in raising funds to expedite relief efforts in Haiti. Everyone is encouraged to help the cause by spreading the word to friends and colleagues.
Type designers, graphic designers and other artists from around the world are invited to contribute artwork to be included in a typeface created exclusively for the Font Aid IV effort. The theme of Font Aid IV is ‘Coming Together’ which we will represented though a font consisting entirely of ampersands. Coming Together will be made available for sale, with all proceeds going to Doctors Without Borders. SOTA, a US-based non-profit, is acting as a non-partisan organizing body to help coordinate the effort and ensure all funds are distributed appropriately.
Bellow is my ampersand icon submission.
The Tomato creative agency was formed in 1991 by Steve Baker, Dirk Van Dooren, Karl Hyde, Richard Smith, Simon Taylor, John Warwicker and Graham Wood, who were joined by Jason Kedgley in 1997 and Michael Horsham in 1998.
Principally understood as a design group who work for many international clients including Sony, Nike, Levis, Coca-Cola and The Victoria & Albert Museum, Tomato also works across a range of fields ranging from film, branding, music, television and cinema commercials, to advertising, books, architecture and interactive media.
They have exhibited internationally and lecture and hold workshops widely. Since 1997, Tomato has been a consultant to the British Government on the creative industries. Out of this success, Tomato Films was formed in 1998 and is run by Jeremy Barrett.
Tomato Interactive was founded in 1999 by Tom Roope, Anthony Rodgers and Joel Baumann; former members of Antirom, who had strong creative relationships with Tomato. Their innovative design and inventive execution within existing interactive platforms is fused with a commitment to developing entirely new media solutions for clients including Ron Arad Associates, Selfridges, The Goethe-Institut and the group Underworld.
Tomato have more recently produced a website for New York architectural practice, fieldoperations.net, completed project work for Nokia and Adidas and Installation work for Salvatore Ferragamo.
toxiclibs is an independent, open source library collection for computational design tasks with Java & Processing. After 2.5 years of continuous development & refactoring, the collection consists of >14k lines of code, 124+ classes, 18 packages bundled into 7 libraries. The classes are purposefully kept fairly generic in order to maximize re-use in different contexts ranging from generative visuals, data visualization to digital fabrication, use as teaching tool and more.
here’s a short Vimeo overview of projects and experiments made by users of Toxiclibs – an independent, open-source library collection for computational design tasks with Java and Processing.

Collaboration project between myself, Brendan Oliver & Jeffrey Bowman (Mr Bowlegs) For the Glastonbury BBC Big Screen Project. The brief was to produce a Virtual Band – The Followers.
I modeled, rigged and rendered 3 characters each with a series of dance moves. Brendan then took my renders and made them sound reactive in Processing.
The project went down a storm at Glastonbury! With a crowd of over 3000 people at one point.
Look out for future develoments.

3 Minutes is the second publication from non-profit organisation Designers Against Human Rights Abuse (DAHRA) and the second collaboration between DAHRA and Tibet Relief Fund.
The premise of the book is to show the full extent of the Tibetan conflict through 10 diverse and extremely powerful 3-minute interviews, each describing the 3 minutes that changed their lives. This idea is reflected in the covers of each booklet, which separately make beautiful abstract covers but together form to make a ”3″.
Contributors were asked to translate these 3 minute interviews into 16 printed page booklets using primarily typography. The result is a book made up of 10 beautifully designed booklets from some of the world’s best designers showcasing considered and stunning typography.
The book is available for £10 + p&p worldwide with all proceeds going to Tibet Relief Fund and being distributed by Subism
The contributors to this project are Bibliotheque, Brighten the Corners, Stefan Gandl (NeubauBerlin), Alex Haigh (Thinkdust / HypeforType), Nick Hard (Research Studios), Jeff Knowles (Research Studios), Abbott Miller (Pentagram), Si Scott, Paul Skerm, Un.titled

DAHRA are also currently having their first major exhibition in London, so those of you who live or will be in the area at the time are invited to drop by. See below for more information:
Cancer is such a pervasive killer these days that few of us go through life untouched by the disease. We’ve decided to do something about it by launching the Memories project and the outcome will be a beautiful art book. Proceeds from the sales of Memories will go towards cancer support (charity TBA).
Memories will look at the thoughts and experiences of individuals who have survived cancer, as well as those of people who have lost loved ones. There will be ten stories inside, each looking at one person’s recollection of a particular day in the struggle against cancer. For each of these ‘memories’ a dozen leading artists, illustrators and designers will be creating their own visual response. Two further stories will go ‘open brief’ and we’ll be inviting creatives worldwide to make their own images to accompany the text. The best submissions will go into the book.
That makes for 12 touching stories, and 144 smashing pieces of artwork
The project is being launched this summer by Designers Against Human Rights Abuse (DAHRA), Subism, OneTenEleven Media and editor Garrick Webster. Along with a number of writers and, of course, all the image contributors, they’ll be volunteering their time and skills to the project. We expect it will take a year to complete, culminating in the launch of Memories and an exhibition.
