Today is the first day of our three month residency at The Pervasive Media Studio in Bristol. During our time here we will develop one major project that we will see through to a finished piece. Alongside this we endeavor to work on several smaller projects that will prototype ideas to explore tactile interfaces, wearable computing and location based media.

Our main project will utilise user-generated content, a theme that has been present throughout our past collaborative work. Our time at the studio will begin with a research period whereby we will develop our learning brief by defining questions that we will approach with our work. The brief for this project is yet to be confirmed, however, initial thoughts include projections that utilise motion graphics and text data, most likely created in either Flash or VVVV.

We plan to negotiate with Encounters Film Festival to create a piece that will engage with the digital platform and approach themes such as user generated content and immersive technology. Current ideas for harvesting data include; scanning blogs using recursively created keywords and using SMS and Bluetooth data.
