“It’s hard work carving the slopes by day and carving the ice by night. For one Special night Australian ski resort Mount Buller was illuminated by ENESS’ signature eyeball installation. Materials used a laptop, 1 cold projector, snow and snow plough.“
Love to give this a go - let’s hope we get some snow in Ipswich this year!

The Proverbs Show is coming together nicely - so we’ll hear all about that and please bring along anything you’d like to show and any ideas you’d like to share.
There are pieces from 10 artists, “experimenting with evolution, hybridisation and the infiltration of technology”. One of my favourites was Reuben Margolin‘s Pentagonal Wave, a kinetic sculpture with 288 strings:
The show is open until 17th October, but closed Sunday 5th & Sunday 12th.
Our next get together is next Wednesday evening (8th October) at 8pm - in McGinty’s opposite the library on Northgate Street, Ipswich. We’re in the Green Room which connects to the outside smoking area.
As before the plan is to preview the proverbs to see what we’ve done and what’s still to do. So if you’ve got something you’ve been working on please bring it along. If you don’t have a proverb, please come along too - perhaps you’ll be able to help someone else out.
Bring along anything else you’d like to talk about too. Alex, Matthew and I will also report on Concrete and Glass.
Last month our curious delegates Alex, Cefn and Dave went off to see the weird and wonderful on show at the annual Ars Electronica festival in Linz, Austria. Over the weekend they were entertained by a mix of interactive exhibits, experimental music and absinthe.
It was an inspirational place with both famous attendees such as the guys behind the Absolut Quartet as well as less well-known technoart enthusiasts.
The full spectrum between technology and art was represented, where some exhibits were impressive because of the new nuggets of technology on show, and others, where the technology used was entirely tacit, led the audience into a world of wonder and occasionally astonishment.
Highlights included:
Bleu Remix - An example of one of the more astonishing exhibits because it was human (we think!)
Next year sees Linz as Europe’s Capital of Culture and we can only imagine that the next Ars Electronica festival will be even bigger. The theme will be ‘the future’ and we’ll certainly be going again - we recommend you join us!
Our next get together is this Wednesday evening (24th September) at 8pm, in McGinty’s opposite the library on Northgate Street, Ipswich. We’ll be in the Green Room which connects to the outside smoking area.
The plan is to preview the proverbs to see what we’ve done and what’s still to do. So if you’ve got something you’ve been working on please bring it along. If you don’t have a proverb, please come along too - perhaps you’ll be able to help someone else out.
This was originally planned as a member’s show ahead of the public show. Although there’s been tones of progress, we’re not quite ready for that. Wednesday will give us a much idea of how much there is still to do, so we can set some dates for the show.
We’re having another get together tomorrow evening (Wednesday, 10th September) from 8pm - in McGinty’s opposite the library on Northgate Street, Ipswich. We’ll be in the Collins Bar.
We’ll be talking proverbs and Ars Electronica, plus anything you’d like to chat about - proverbial or not.
