Cardiff University’s School of Psychology has 1,000 individually-made terracotta tiles, the art work is supposed to reveal a number of different visual illusions to highlight the way the mind recognises patterns.
Artist Peter Randall-Page has created the work, Mind’s Eye, which will stand as a landmark on one of the major routes into Cardiff.

a new decade. new directions. new connections.
this is a beat poem for the eyes in eight parts.
some sections have been considered, some are purely accidental.
fifty two pieces. diverse. from landscape to dada to abstract to portrait. and beyond.
the people, the artists, have made my year better. their gift to me.
this is a visual echo to them. to you.
a new decade.
may it treat you well.

[NB]
this work is in not in ‘absolute’ order of preference.
though of course, from the beginning, i thought about those who have a deep connection for me, so there is a modicum of ‘hierarchy’.
however, i suddenly remembered people who are dear to me toward the end of the process!! you cannot read too much into your ‘placing’ in the mosaics, and that is as it should be.
if you are not in the mix, i can only apologise. it was quite a lengthy process 😮
i will certainly have forgotten people [i can think of several now] who should have been a part of this process, but a year only contains a finite number of weeks.
you are not forgotten.
the best to all my contacts.
should you be interested in the fundamental reasons for many of my contacts being held in high esteem and great regard, please feel free to cast an eye over my new year video. it explains much with regard to how i view my contacts:

once again.
thank you all, for being who you are.

TodaysArt 2008 – Vloei / Flow I
Image by Haags Uitburo
Gifts Bram Vreven calls them, the beautiful visual effects caused by the movemaent of water over glass or plastic. Vreven uses physical phenomena based on adhesion and cohesion in purely artistic ways. Rejecting scientific pretence, he is only concerned with the beauty of the images.
Every year, for one weekend, the TodaysArt Festival brings a whole range of innovative and groundbreaking acts to the Netherlands. For two days, the city centre of The Hague functions as one big festival terrain, with performances both in the public domain and on several indoor stages. Interactive installations, projections and acts use the city centre as a stage and transform The Hague into an inspiring stronghold of audiovisual experiences.
