Giles showed me the Trail Song project by Julie Myers who he commissioned as part of the Transformations series. The Whyte Museum Archive, Banff, describes a Trail Song in this way: “A Trail Song uses a well [...]

Story Cubes Story Board
June 17th, 2010 No Comments
In contrast to Rita King’s technologically-minded Story Cubes project, Alice made a set of Story Cubes for Landscapes in Dialogue that only exist as physical objects. Yet for me these 72 paper cubes have an equally interesting relationship to technological processes… The cubes were made to support a short video about a trip Alice made [...]

Rita J. King: StoryCubes in a Virtual World
June 15th, 2010 No Comments
Story Cubes in Second Life As I explore Story Cubes I thought I would investigate how artists have used these objects in more successful ways than my fabulously unsuccessful pinhole camera experiments. Rita J. King of Dancing Ink Productions was commissioned by Giles to contribute to Transformations on diffusion.org.uk. Transformations asks writers, artists, performers, thinkers [...]

StoryCube Cameras
June 14th, 2010 1 Comment
Without seeing my post on Thomas Hudson Reeve and his paper cameras, Niharika suggested we try to turn StoryCubes into pinhole cameras. When we mentioned this to Giles we discovered that a project he had commissioned by Tina Keane for Coil Journal of the Moving Image had involved pinhole cameras and there were still a [...]

A Cube with More than Six Sides
May 26th, 2010 No Comments
So far I’ve mostly written about eBooks but bookleteer also makes StoryCubes, and to inspire my experiments I’m thought I’d write about this cube of cubes created by Sydney-based illustrator Matt Huyhn. During the Perception Peterborough project Matt worked with Proboscis to create visual representations of Proboscis’ research. These images were put onto each side [...]

Following feedback at this week’s PU&P we’ve made a small, but important tweak to the StoryCube create/edit page – a diagram showing the position and orientation of each image on the cube (front and back): The exact dimensions of each StoryCube face are 55mm by 55mm and we recommend making images at no less than [...]
