Who will be exhibiting in the Gallery of Photography, Temple Bar, Dublin this evening and all weekend, as part of the Le Cool Compound.

They say:

The cover is based around our concept for the LeCool Compound, it uses the rules of a maths puzzle called Conway’s Game of Life. Each dot ‘lives’ or ‘dies’ from frame to frame based on the number of neighbours it has. If a dot has too few or too many neighbours it disappears…

 

The Le Cool Compound is an interactive exhibition as part of National Science Week featuring Lightscape and Tom O’Dea, Designgoat, and the Urban Farm.

Bit of a random trailer park one for ye. My buddy Neil Brazil has a trailer out for a new “movie” called Sea2Summit. Based on the torturous adventure race in Westport last weekend. ‘This winter, get ready to race’. Bressie and Rob Heffernan did the race too….there’s no footage of them, so we think they’re still on Croagh Patrick. Will make a good sequel…

Epic.

sheriff

Footage of a demonstration outside the Dublin City Sheriff’s office on Fownes Street on Tuesday evening where a group who arranged a meeting with the City Sheriff claim he reneged on their appointment.

The group which included Dublin Says NO, Anti Eviction Taskforce, Independent Resistance Ireland, Anti Eviction Ireland and Occupy Dame Street then ‘chased’ the Sheriff and his colleagues as they made their way towards Pearse Street while he was accompanied by members of the Gardai.

The footage also shows the Sheriff and his colleagues  being ‘ejected’ from a taxi as the driver refused to accept their custom.
