I wanted to share the links to some of them here:

Learning visit: Digital Revolution, July 2014

As part of my studies for the assignment 3 of People and Place I recently visited Barbican to see this exhibition. 

Described as 'the most comprehensive presentation of digital creativity ever to be staged in the UK' (source:http://www.barbican.org.uk/digital-revolution/exhibition-and-events) the exhibition was a fascinating place to watch people interacting with technology and space.

It was interesting to notice that:

People had very different approaches to the space around them

Were attracted to different things 

Had their own unique way to connect and explore what was around them.

I took some photos to capture some people during their moments of play and exploration. 

Buildings in use: Exploring how space changes with light

For this exercise I selected two locations: my log cabin in my back garden and my village church.

The log cabin

I set my camera on the tripod and left it in one place for a number of days taking photos at different times of day and night. This resulted in the following set of images.

These images were taken at different time of day and in different weather.
