From 24th January to 3rd March, In Exchange&nbsp; offered first and second year students from the BA Fine Art's 3D pathway the opportunity to showcase work in the context of historical documents, photographs, film and ephemera –an archive recently brought to light as part of a programme of research into radical pedagogy in the school.* Through this structure, which at the same time relays a dramatic, ongoing narrative of institutional restructuring, contemporary students and visitors&nbsp; joined a dialogue with alumni and former staff on persistent questions of production, process and context. The exhibition&nbsp; connected practices as diverse –and indeed as similar –as Peter Kardia's 'Documentation Model' of the mid 1960s to Naomi Dines, Kathy McCarthy and Elizabeth Wright's first year student project, 'The Gift' from Autumn 2010. Taking the form of an ongoing, process-based, collaborative site of investigation, In Exchange&nbsp; provided a space for historical reflection and the production of new models of practice and learning in art. Schedule and regular updates can be found at: http://inexchangecsm.wordpress.com/* For more information on the programme of research into radical pedagogy including previous and up-coming talks and seminars go to: http://10thflr.wordpress.com/ IN EXCHANGE 2 Lethaby Gallery, Granary Square March 28th 12-6pm On Tuesday 28th March, 2017, the organisers of IN EXCHANGE have been invited to the CSM Kings Cross Lethaby Gallery to accession archival material from the original event in 2011. This workshop will take the resulting documents, diagrams, photographs and interview film footage as a starting point for a general discussion on what is meant by an active or ‘living’ archive and the social processes that enable a deployment of history.

Digital capture processes such as Photogrammetry and 3D scanning contribute to a wider engagement with artefacts, their materialities, contexts and itineraries. These ‘digital objects’ offer new opportunities for documentation, dissemination and artistic intervention, which, in turn, enrich the material, interpretative and contextual narratives of the original artefacts. <img width="1080" height="1920" width_o="1080" height_o="1920" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/9bca40f2f712ea37277a05fd2a31f85defebef01383fd782da7b6010c085ec11/mold-display.png" data-mid="185323" border="0" /> Tom Allison’s digital inversion of gingerbread moulds from the ILEA Collection at Camberwell.

Work on a 3d-build of the Portolan map with Naomi Dines will be completed in the gallery during Annihilation, which offers an insight into this evolving area, constructing visual forms from image data sets. In addition, this time in Annihilation offers a chance for exploring/experimenting where photogrammetry processes coincide with instantiations of topographic intervention using sound projection. “Sound has always offered me a 3d environmental physical experience, like sculpture or architecture, but active over compressed time-frame. Installation of sound allowed for a prototype of augmented reality, mixing reality, surpositioning [sic] in real-time.” <img width="2500" height="2500" width_o="2500" height_o="2500" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/b83020e0e1f7ff9fb67d1fe60f67b265146ff0dbf4119af4053d851f1a73ce72/from_back_right-1.jpg" data-mid="181339" border="0" /> John Wollaston works as a multidisciplinary artist, and post-production professional.

Role Playing and Free Roaming is a video piece designed to point out the essence of virtual space emulating real-life landscapes. The video is essentially a compilation of exported flythrough videos around a 3D model. The 3D models were created using 123D Catch, an app for the smartphone whichallows users to take photographs around an object in real space to then compileand connect these photos into a 3D model of that object. The piece focuses on models made through the app, however the modelsthemselves were created through stitched photographs of a TV screen displaying different video games (primarily Role-Playing and Free-Roam games). This means that the models created ideally should be flat, however as can be seen in the videos, the models display as abstract and full of bumps and crevasses. It’s this unusual occurrence as a result of translation through different mediums which the piece displays. The machine vision, real space, and display of virtual space all shown again through one screen and observed by the viewers’ eyes, yet translated into an abstract form. The video game aspect came from the interest of human involvement and perception of virtual worlds relative to our reality, and what this might mean for ideas such as escapism.CCW Digital Derive Group ↩ Eric King,&nbsp; Role Playing and Free Roaming Role Playing and Free Roaming, HD Video, 22’ 20’’ looped.
