Hail all deviants! Happy Nu Year! May it be as fruitful and juicy as the ripest of fruit. Here is a long over due update to my journal. The experiment has ended! `My project at the Fortress Studios. London came to an end last May when I was taken very ill and had to give up work for a while to recover. But art in the space continues and all info can be viewed at the following site.

For 3 years I ran the screen ghost gallery which projected images from my DA favourites selection along with my own works on to the walls of a private bar in a London Recording studio. I'm pleased to inform you all the project was a success and the virtual gallery drew and attracted many fans and good positive comments. It especially was loved as part of the in house light show  on club nights or when live bands were playing, allowing me on occasionally  to make some very special films. These will be posted at my you tube site with links posted here as I write the rest of this post project report through the year.

While in the role of steward of The Vestry I indulged in the creation of much nu art in many formats some took the form of live performance, interacting with other elements of the room and situations at the time. I tried to encourage contributions from the studio community on many levels from tunes that formed the music library, to art for the walls, and live performances of various kinds.   There was much that I did not achieve  and quite a bit that I would have done differently given the chance to do it again, but as always hindsight is a great thing. Over the next couple of months I will retell the events of 3 years total immersion in the project, as well as post some of the works posted at other portals like Facebook which grew and changed during my time there and facilitated and became a very useful publication tool whilst I was there. With some pieces being time based using the way people interacted with the software, incorporating their various responses in to the next stage on the work.

I still have a lot to consider before writing a full report on the project, but it was definitely  one of the most exciting creative periods of my life, from which much was learnt and achieved with few regrets
