Dott 07 Design Boot Camp comes to Durham's Necklace Park for a day to explore the area's potential for sustainable tourism!

What is a map?

‘Mapping’ is a process of discovery. It is the process of making an element or area visible or understandable.

Bridie and I want to “Map The Necklace” by busking a series of interactive performance and sound pieces. The interactions will be recorded on video and with written and drawn documents by our selves and participants. These will form a “map” of our experiences; the people we meet and entertain/ are entertained by during the weekend.

On the 19th March,I was invited to audition for a new cooking programme called 'Kitchen Criminals' Kitchen Criminals site and was accepted to train with the celeb chefs in London in April!

Bit nervous about it all but it might be an opportunity for a celebrity endorsement for a food map!

A pinhole camera is a camera without a conventional glass lens. An extremely small hole in a very thin material can focus light by confining all rays from a scene through a single point. In order to produce a reasonably clear image, the aperture has to be a small pinhole on the order of 0.5 mm (0.02 inches) or less. The shutter of a pinhole camera usually consists of a hand operated flap of some light-proof material to cover and uncover the pinhole.

For many people visiting The Durham Necklace Park, walking around and experiencing the sights, sounds and smells of the riverside will hopefully be a pleasurable experience. But what if you lose one of those senses; can you still have the same pleasurable experience?
