Big Bang Data - Somerset House Exhibition

London- Somerset House

Since the ending of London Fashion week, things have begun to calm down, with the introduction to the spring and summer season many of us are now well aware and are preparing for the upcoming season. Something new and exciting to look at was the  the 'Big Bang Data' Exhibition. A different turn from fashion, however the exhibition is based upon the ideals of data becoming an explosion that has radically transformed our lives.

Some aspects of the exhibition were very ascetically pleasing, The exhibition tackles subject matters that many of us many not even be aware of today. there is not a specific focus as such on certain art projects, but the exhibition touches upon art projects with the use of selfies, images projected from hacked computers, network systems and many more.


Something that really caught my eye that I thought was worth sharing was a large iPad displaying the 33 boroughs of London, and ranking the happiest from 1 to 33. There wasn't a stereotypical pattern as some may expect, However areas such as camden were seen as the happiest.

The examination of the 'Selfie' a mainstream ideology which has been around for years, has been examined in a different light. Apparently your selfie can reflect a lot about your city, which seems a strange concept.
Typically London selfies gives off vibes for the least happy faces. The exhibition ends of the 16th March, so it is definitely worth taking a look !

Shooting and Booting with BandsTeesleatherandlace

Readers,


This is my first Blog post, so it is unlikely many will see this! Nevertheless, since beginning my latest adventure at Royal Holloway University, photography has been somewhat of a limited activity. However I have recently discovered shoot I did with 'Bandteesleatherandlace' A lifestyle blog, containing everything about anything! With images tackling an autumnal vibe.

We ventured into Starbucks, seeing as there always seem's to be a craze about the cups! we got some cool shots of the cup and edited them with photoshop to create a slightly 'faded effect' and enhanced the colour, especially putting emphasis on the oranges. These images were meant to be posted months ago, however better late than never right?!
