I had a bit of a disastrous day at the studio today. Basically I ruined two works and I had to start from scratch and not feeling very confident about them anyway. The day was so clear and crispy outside that I should have stopped there and then and go for a walk to clear my head, but no, being as impatient as I am I wanted to finish today… And I did in the end, but not with what I wanted. So I headed home early to work on some video footage instead and I had a bit of lucky with some findings on the internet that will be very helpful for the exhibition. I have too many vague ideas and not enough specific ones, some of my works result from lucky accidents, so I guess that in a way I am collecting data that I find interesting, waiting for the accident, waiting for something to click.
I am still hoping to see some polar lights while I am here, so I keep checking the space weather forecast. It looks like tonight it could be some aurora boreal visible from here, so I will be looking up from time to time. The SpaceWeather website is great. It has a little graphic showing the aurora boreal activity and lots of interesting data about space weather.
