In case you were in any doubt …
The V&A digital design weekend was part of something a little bit bigger. I liked the logo a lot though, which I suppose I should given that it was all about design.
A bit of the V&A Digital Design Weekend
I love the V&A and this was a great event with some truly innovative and creative ideas brought to life. My favourites being the drawing robot arm and the brain wave machine, which I still don’t entirely understand.
Google Web Lab
I was really looking forward to seeing this exhibition at the Science Museum, but it wasn’t all I’d hoped it would be. I suppose that in many ways it wasn’t geared towards me at all, but an audience for whom a web based sequencer would be completely fresh idea.
The Barbara Hepworth Museum
Although it’s only a small museum it’s a brilliant collection of Hepworth’s work in her garden, and seeing it on a lovely fine day in St Ive’s made it a fantastic experience.
I think that the Science Museum needs to clean up a bit
The Science Museum seems to have a real problem with cockroaches. It’s a shame, I’m sure it’ll start to impact on the visitor numbers at some point. They’re big ones too!
Yet another visit to the Oramics Exhibition at the Science Museum
I know I always go back to this exhibition, but I love that it’s there, and I love visiting it too. It’s always good to see it anytime I’m at the Science Museum. Each time I visit I always find something new to look at, and this time it was these waveform slides.
Launchpad: Clicks
An interesting experiment at Launchpad in the Science Museum. This made some cool clicks and percussive sounds depending on what surface you placed the boxes on.
Another visit to the Oramics Exhibition
A couple of weeks ago now I made another visit to the Science Museum’s Oramics exhibition. I really like this small exhibition. It is quite unusual and they keep adding new items to it and changing it slightly, which is one of the reasons I keep coming back. I think I’ve been to it 4 times now.
I like how everything from her work is linked forward to how electronic music has developed. It’s interesting to see the progression and understand where things came from.
I almost certainly will go back again if I get the chance.
Space at the Science Museum
The Science Museum is, and always has been, one of my favourite places, and in many ways, largely for the space exhibits, which are still amazing.
Alan Turing exhibition at the Science Museum
I didn’t even know that this exhibition was on at the Science museum, and I was only really there for Music day, so it was a real bonus to see it. Some nice exhibits and a lot of information packed into a very small space. I think I’ll need to see it again at least once if not more times.
Music day at Exhibition Road
I was around Exhibition Road for part of Music day this year. I missed it the last time it was on, so I was glad to be able to go this year. I managed to catch a few musical moments, one of which was a performance of a piece that was inspired by the hall of the modern world in the Science Museum.
It wasn’t bad at all. Quite ponderous and slow and thoughtful, but I enjoyed it a lot in the end. I’m glad I went, and I hope that music day keeps going, it certainly made it a more interesting trip.
The British Design Exhibition at the V&A
I heard about this a few weeks ago and was attracted to it because of the stuff connected to Factory Records, but actually there was loads more there. In fact there’s almost too much in this exhibition, and not enough, it that makes any sense at all.
It almost leaves you wanting lots more in every category. I loved the mini, but then wanted to see a load more vintage and classic cars, and the Jag was great I have to admit. The games stuff and the ZX Spectrum just fueled my craving for a Speccy and a ZX81.
I can see myself visiting this exhibition again in a few weeks as there’s too much to take in with one visit. But it’s well worth a look as is the V&A as a whole.

Foucault’s Pendulum
I’d never seen one of these before. This one was in the stair well at the Science museum in London.
