Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design has recently established VERL (The Visual Effects Research Lab), a three year project aimed to link the worlds of film, art, technology and computer science. In early November I met with Peter Richardson the Project Director to discuss the possibility of using the labs facilities to help realise the 3D component of my artwork. He was very interested in the idea, and agreed to provide the equivalent of £20000 of post production services and assistance for a fee of £3500. We have provisionally agreed that I will begin work at VERL on April 4 2010.

Over the past 11 months I have developed experience in combining 3D software technique into my art practice. Fabricating artworks within a virtual 3D environment to ensure they relate to the physical dimensions and positioning of the projectors within the proposed environment. The virtual environment is also used to describe the passing of a light source across the object as it creates multiple shadows. At present this exists in a very rudimentary fashion as my skills are somewhat limited, but I can see how it can develop into a much stronger central component of my work.

I expect this next phase of development alongside VERL to enable me with the skills to successfully express the notion of 'duration' within the artwork, this will be achieved through making evident a direct relationship between time and the passing of projected light around the art object, e.g. creating a realtime visualisation process so that in a 24 hour cycle no two moments are ever the same - A virtual relationship with a physical duration . . .
