At the new #TestingGround at #QueenVictoriaMarket for #Midsumma a durational performance by Italian-Kiwi artist Ivan Lupi ‘Not as simple as it sounds - Concerto’ where over 11 days he struck triangles over 100,000 times, in commemoration of the estimated 100,000+ homosexuals arrested, abused and killed during the Holocaust. For this version of the performance the audience were invited to participate, with Ivan reciprocating, hence ‘concerto’. Simple yet profound and moving. Sadly I didn’t have time to return on a later day. (at Testing Grounds) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpGCFKtuJY2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🛏️ (from Mel to Jayce)

He was dreaming about that day again, it was almost like if the cold reached his body outside the dream, as if it would freeze it all, forever. And when his throat couldn't stand another scream for help, the sky cleared, the snow storm was pushed away and the sun brought warmth to his cold skin. The same smile that appeared on his dream, could also be seen as Mel approach him.

Unconsciously he opened his arms for her to lay on his chest, while in his dream, flower started to bloom amidst the melting snow.

@rntr-testinggrounds / @blackrosesmatron liked this post for a starter

Viktor didn't appreciate the disruption. The lab was usually a sanctuary of silence, concentration or scientific elation. Viktor revelled in the small number of people that would come and go. It allowed his theories to go undisturbed - until now.

Although it was true Mel had approached them both - but it was very clear to him where her true gaze lay. Every time they were trying to have a discussion, Mel barely registered Viktor's existence. Spoke over him - sometimes even physically as she spoke over his head as he sat. Hardly addressed him, let alone looked him in the eyes. As if he were an obstacle. The only time his words meant anything to her was when they fell from Jayce's lips. Viktor didn't mind being kept out of the political nonsense, but less so when it came to things of his own design.

With a clearly bitter, irritated tone in his voice, he barely looked up from his scramble of notes after clocking her approach. "As you can see, Jayce isn't here. And no, I don't know where he went."

People are always mad at me when i am saying that they are enabeling their behaviour with paying 40 bucks for dlc's that are just worth 20. And even more for saying for saying that the kits are microtranaction testingground...

But there are plenty of flying monkeys who would rather attack the messernger instead of questioning their own behaviour.

Also, not to be all "i told you so" but like a few years ago I was like "EA is killing The Sims" and a bunch of people got fuck mad at me? And I was like "there either won't be a sims 5 or it will be free to play"?

I mean, I'm fine because I'm happy with the sims games we have the modding community that is thriving but... like, guys, the way the economy and the tech industry is companies like EA just aren't interested in creating quality products. ESPECIALLY not for IPs like The Sims.

They're on a sinking ship and they KNOW it. Why do you THINK they've been spending money on shit like reality shows and not the game? They literally started off this job description with "HELP US STOP BLEEDING PLAYERS!! DEAR GOD!!!!"

Week one, day one: Bachelor of Interior Design at RMIT.

Myself and 140 other first-year students met at Testing Grounds - (a contemporary space for emerging artists to create and experiment in) where we spent 3 hours building a framework for a large scale piece “Hostile Infrastructure” by an artist with a physical disability leaving him reliant on wheelchair assistance. 

The piece becomes more narrow and isolated in scale, communicating the struggles of navigation and accessibility within public areas while using a wheelchair. The sculpture functions by inviting people who use wheelchairs to make their way through, to which they will ultimately find themselves stuck in a narrow space. Whether or not the person decides to wheel backward in a struggle or push through and destroy the walls of the artwork is up to them. This then provokes small decisions which are burdened on people with physical disabilities every day in public spaces. 

As a designer, inclusivity is vital in creating interiors/exteriors which can accommodate everyone, we must avoid building spaces which create barriers that will inevitably trigger an apprehensive sense of exclusiveness and discrimination against people with disabilities. 

Building this sculpture collectively, endorsed a strong team working ethic, despite the scorching sun on our faces and the humidity that followed, we were able to maintain positive perspectives while interacting with classmates for the very first time.
