VR - whooo
I went to see/do Char davies "EphemÈre" today at ACMI - It was more affecting than I thought it would be (I thought it would be a bit hokey and mid-nineties'ish).
I was thinking about conversations, objects with discourse, open-ended meaning and layering. It (the VR) seemed to capture a lot of this, I wondered whether a graphic communication can be this, and can it still be useful being this? I wondered whether something like a VR might carry a brand, it certainly has a personality - I wondered about natural communication forms and their "open-to-intrepretation"-ness. Sounds like I was wandering around wondering a bit...

mechanics library window
a window with a display - I like window displays, DIY displays.
They had printed out the words "living for cheese", or something, on their laserprinter using the wackiest font they could find, one of those windowsô fonts that (sort of) match a real font (it was a bit like Peignot) - anyway there were a few bits of cut up paper and maybe a gold star or two stuck on cardboard...
why do I like this so much, why did it jump out of the other street stuff? why do I like the fact it is right next to (and to the uninitiated would seem part of) the Swinburne National Institue of Design...
