A message from Olivia Pohjola

Good evening,
after 60 kilometres of riding a bike here is some thoughts to blog.

And photos: I don´t have any digital photos! :O

List of thoughts about firsth weeks with Titanic:

- our group of hearty and crazy people
- organized chaos
- heat, sweat, cycling around
- firsth time of my life: speech lessons
- video stuff and back to Isadora
- head full of thoughts about body and technology, sinking of humanity, light and physicality

Time flies indeed…

All of the participants (under 50) have been making a ton a solo performances and discussing them… That's a great way to get to know each other and to align our ideas on what a great 'Titanic' performance could be.
Some great images from Sacha Balgobin….

We now use tiny infrared action camera's (Panasonic A1, for the geeks) which we bought at great discount.

We started on 3D scanning with the Structure Sensor on an iPad. The results (at least for a head and shoulder) are amazingly accurate and quite creepy indeed. We'll be posting results later on.

For now, you'll have to do with an image that captures our amazement… (Thanks Sacha!)

The Gasometer - our location

Today, Wednesday May10, we went to visit our future location: the Gasometer of Maastricht.
And that's quite an impressive location, some fifty meter in diameter, thirteen meter high…

Well, at least this location isn't virtual at all…
