Sunday, May 11th, 2008Preparing For Major Emergencies: An Introduction.
Thursday, May 1st, 2008Got this brochure on the snail-mail recently. I cant help but wonder “why? why now?”, do they know something I dont? Most likely. I, in any case, feel now very well prepared, thanks to this piece of reading. Its a pity it is just an introduction…

Some old videos and photo-animations.
Saturday, August 4th, 2007These are some old video projects I did for college and clients, some based on photo-animation, some just plain short films.
Reverse Perspective Interactive Holograms, 2005.
Promotion for Interactive Holographic advertisement, produced by me for Reverse Perspective in 2005.
Waiting for the Luas, 2005.
What do you do in the coldest winter’s night? You get your friends to pose for you at the Luas station, in front of the already-gone Fatima Mansions, and convince them to do what you say because it makes sense. Thanks to Thomas and Michael.
The project was to develop a narrative through photographs on a video’s time-line. Rather than creating different scenes, I decided to try phoho-animation. I never added sound to it.
Unfortunately, the compression of the AVI file I uploaded provoked a weird flow of frames. Well, is very close to the real thing.
Coffee, 2005.
As above, the idea was to create a narrative through photographs in a time-line. It is about the magic of the everyday.
Bread: Food For Life, 2004.
This is a series of 3 ads done for a project at college, not at all associated with thehungersite.com (unfortunatelly!), and were never intended to be published.
The theme was ‘Bread: the food of life’. I created these mock-up TV advertisements based on the idea of the inexpensiveness of bread being a luxury for too many.

About “Helvetica - The Documentary”
Helvetica is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which is celebrating its 50th birthday this year) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives. Helvetica will only have limited screenings worldwide and we are so happy to bring this unique evening to Copenhagen especially with both the director, Gary Hustwit and e-Types (the Danish strategic design agency specialising in graphic design, brand strategy and identity) speaking before the movie. The movie has played to audiences of over 1,000 in Berlin in the last few weeks and this might be your only chance to see this special film.

Global Photographies: Histories | Theories | Practices
Tuesday, June 26th, 2007Global Photographies: Histories ¦ Theories ¦ Practices
Wednesday 27th, Thursday 28th, Friday 29th June 2007.
The Photography Program at the Institute of Art Design & Technology, Dun Laoghaire in Dublin is pleased to announce that it will be holding an international conference on photography and globalization in June 2007.
Widely perceived to be the driving force of our era, Globalization has attracted much critical commentary within the field of visual culture. Despite interest in the correlations between globalization and the visual, however, there has been relatively little examination of the role of photography in shaping the global media landscape. Equally the impact of globalization on photographic and artistic practices has been an area that has not received much commentary.
This conference brings together photographers, curators and writers to explore the intersection of the photographic image and globalization across the discplines of photography, art, anthropology, architecture and cultural studies. Sixty speakers from nearly twenty different countries will deliver papers over three days of the conference program on a range of themes including; global archives and the image content industry, migration, photography and the war on terror, colonial archives and post-colonial identities, photography and cultural diplomacy, cross-cultural curatorial practices, photojournalism and the global media, trans-cultural media practices, urbanization, photography and Diasporic identities.
The conference program will also include a special screening of Allan Sekula’s documentary film The Lottery of the Sea.
Keynote speakers include:
Allan Sekula (Photographer, Film-Maker and Theorist) author of ‘Against the Grain’, ‘Fish Story’, ‘Dismal Science’
Shahidul Alam (Drik Photo Agency) Photographer and founder of ‘Drik Photo Agency’ Bangladesh
Iain Boal (Berkley, California and Retort) Contributing author of ‘Afflicted Powers: Capital and Spectacle in an Age of New War’
Steve Edwards (Open University)
Research Lecturer and author of ‘The Making of English Photography: Allegories’
NOT TO MISS:
THE LOTTERY OF THE SEA, Allan Sekula
As part of the Global Photographies Conference Programme, IADT will host a special screening of Allan Sekula’s Documentary The Lottery of the Sea at the Mermaid Arts Centre, Bray Co. Wicklow on Wednesday 27 June 2007 at 6.30pm. If you would like to attend the screening please send a list of names to justin.carville@iadt.ie
