Project summary

Well, it's been fun but the project is almost over. I didn't quite get the chance to transfer the whole project into teletext format, although I did make a start on it - maybe that's something for the future.

The Pixel is Power final written document
downloadable from illarterate.co.uk:

• PDF document
• Microsoft Word document

This blog and the microsite will remain in cyberspace for all to view. I know there are a few mistakes in the above documents which I may get round to revising some time.

Festival site - work in progress

Further work on the festival website. I've added drop up menus and submenus for the individual artists and events.

I still need to do a submenu for the conference page, finish the drop up menus and add sound for many things. Might need to record some new ones.

Futuresonic - site

Current progress. I've expanded the grid and developed the interlocking interface a bit more.

To do list:

• Links to individual exhibits
• Refine the teletext graphics
• Add a custom cursor
• Decide on final content - ie which festival it's going to be for
  

Possible festivals

Some more festivals to choose from:

• Futuresonic, which I am currently using for dummy data.
  
• Backup festival, German film and new media
• Independent Video Games festival. There is some similarity to the early Atari consoles and the BBC Micro so there may be room to switch genres.
  
• The Love Bytes festival, if they ever get to uploading something on their website.
• Dare to be Digital video games competition.
• London Games Festival. Not likely as this usually takes part in October so no content is available yet
  

Teletext is Dead (Mark 2)

Part two of an experimental glitch video. A film taking an (overly) dramatic look at what might happen leading up to the moment analogue is switched off.

Work in progress and a follow up to 'Teletext is Dead':

Futuresonic 2008 - festival web page

A work in progress.

The current website for Futuresonic is information based. Using the existing text and information on the Futuresonic website, I would like to produce something visually orientated for the festival.

The dark blue section in the second image expands when the image is selected, revealing more images which spread across the grid. I want to involve a few more little interactive clicky bits like this.

Wish/ to do list

• Figure a way of introducing more clickable bits.
• Resolve the crowded grid issue
• Individual pages for Music, Art, Conference, Contribute etc.
• Make the home page look a bit more connected. At the moment the links are a bit floaty.
  

Digital switchover - Switzerland

A video from YouTube. Did this really happen? If so, a bit of an anticlimactic end to the analogue signal. I'm hoping the UK at least get a test card for a few minutes or something.
