Reading Landscape :: art production by Fine Art and Geography Students, Kingston University

Saturday, 3 September, 2016

And following on from our “Reading Landscape” project I blogged about last week, here is the video out we presented for the first time at the RGS-IBG Annual Conference last week.

Be sure to check out Patrick Rickles blog post outlining the session and with a picture of all the presenters (including our fab students). And, to quote Patrick:

The next talk was from Mike Smith, Flora Parrott and their students from Kingston University on interdisciplinary ways of perceiving space. Flora, with a background in Fine Arts and Mike, coming from Remote Sensing, brought their students together to phenomenologically explore the Rotherhithe Tunnel - once dubbed the 8th wonder of the world, which was the first of it’s kind to allow people to cross under the Thames. Students used Go Pro cameras, castings of the tunnel and 3D imaging techniques to collect experiential information of the tunnel to create a narrative from the students. One of their outputs was an incredible video sharing the students’ experiences titled “Reading Landscape”.



Check out the slides below (and on my personal page).

With many thanks to all who participated and in particular the dedication of the students who participated. It’s been an amazing cross-fertilization of creative ideas. Enjoy!
