Going to Berlin was great for art galleries and museums as well as the culture. Some pieces of work caught my eye using TV's and some digital timers.

Lorenzo Fusi

Lorenzo has given me some websites to look at, this being particulary useful: The Disappeared Lorenzo was great to speak to about the presentation of my work ready for assessment and the degree show. I have simplified my idea down for the TV's after speaking to Lorenzo because if I used both the Tv's and the map both would detract from each other. Ideally I would like a dark room to display my TV's so they stand out visually.

I have my idea for my final piece using TV's and corresponding numbers of missing people. Originally I was going to use 9 TV's to represent 9 countries, but I have now cut this down to 6 due to getting the equipment on time and it still looks visually pleasing. This week I have been busy making the plinth for the TV's to rest on, making reinforcements inside and drilling the holes for the wires to go in. It has also been a mission to collect all the TV's ready, getting them from friends, family and tips/dumps. Also I booked in with Lol to make my plaques with the laser cutter, I used perspex for the country names.
