Pangea Day - Workshops and live event

Pangea Day was a great experience. It was incredible to be in the machine that is Hollywood.

Pangea Day Festival Finalist!

I have been selected as one of the five Nokia, Mobile Film Competition winners. My video "The Game -Kwathema" (Shown in the post below) will be shown at this international film festival). If I can manage to get a VISA in time, I will be taking my brother to L.A. for the Pangea Day festival on the 10th of May!
Thanks to anyone who viewed or voted for the piece!

The Castling

Kasia Kwiecinska and I created this short film for an architectural research project. It is about how a simple house can turn into a chess academy.
Special thanks to the KwaThema Chess Academy for all their help.

A Zed and Two Noughts Network Diagram

This is a network diagram of the characters in the Peter Greenaway movie, A Zed and Two Noughts.

Peter Greenaway’s A Zed and Two Noughts (1985) shows how layered the simple aftereffects of an event (car accident) can be. His tale is in actual fact not really about an accident at all. The collision of a car with a swan is merely the catalyst for a narrative that links three disparate characters; twins (whose wives have died in the accident), Darwin (with his theory of evolution and Vermeer (the famous Dutch painter) (Greenaway 1985). Thus by adding a random event or character Peter Greenaway manages to warp the narrative of his film allowing ever bigger circles of satellite characters to begin orbiting around the three characters.

Peter Greenaway

I have recently, thanks to Hannah and the KwaThema project, discovered Peter Greenaway. Check out his site and see some of his films, you wont be disappointed.

The image above is from his film A Zed and Two Noughts, possibly the most visualy brilliant movie I have ever seen.

Peter Greenaway is obsessed with:

• Architects
• Ornithologists
• The number 92
