We got back from a series of lectures and workshops we gave at University College Falmouth.
Fantastic place. They have just built a state of the arts media and performance centre and Antti Saario, one of the senior lecturers, has some great ideas how to integrate the different departments. Very much along our lines.
We also used the opportunity to do an AV / Dance jam session with our good friends Kuldip and Jane while we were there and they have come up with some amazing moves for one of our new installations.

 

 

Falmouth is a beautiful city. The university is split. We have only been to the departments that are dotted around a big park outside the city. One student told me that the profs from the city campus threatened to leave if they have to move there. They have obviously never been to East London. If this was the ugly part I don’t want to see the nice one.
Everything there happens in slow motion. We got stuck on a bus for 20 minutes because a van blocked the road. Some people decided to walk, the rest just chilled out. When the driver finally came back a police man wiggled his finger at him. That was it. In London there would have been corpses.
I could get used to this.
