Dear leaders,

Greeting from Group 3.

We have 5 members (Chengdong Shen, Jialin Feng, Minjee Kim, Seulgee Kim, Yameng Zhang).

Our working title is ‘Connection: bridge’.  The communicating we are currently doing and the upcoming life in London is connecting us together, just like the bridges over the Thames, so we decided to choose connection as our concept. They are located in many cities like London, Beijing, and Seoul has existed with a long history. We also found the synonyms 'link'. We are making a long collage image to show our concept as a historical timeline.

Best regards,

Group 3

Dear 8-Week students,

As we move into the final stages of the course, we are looking forward to the celebratory Group Project show, taking place for 8-Week students next Thursday 25th August at 10am - 12pm BST.

So here are some crucial instructions so that the show will run as smoothly as possible.

1. By the end of Friday THIS WEEK BST please email us (eap-team-leaders-2022@rca.ac.uk) to say what you are showing (include your group number, your working title, and your medium/type of work).

2. Consider also:
• Does your contribution need any special arrangements? This would need some planning on our part, so please approach us in good time.
• If you are showing a film please keep it to no more than 3 minutes in length.
• You will have only 5 minutes in all to show your group's exhibit. You need to introduce your piece briefly, so make sure you allow enough time for this within the 5 minutes.
3. Please upload the following details onto our 'catalogue' padlet by the end of Wednesday 24th August BST: https://rca.padlet.org/sarahblair/sm9vqsdv7jydsgfv
• A title
• A list of your group members
• A signature image
• Your idea in no more than 30 words
There's an example on the padlet.

4. If you are showing a film, please let us have the link by the end of Wednesday MORNING 24th August BST. Note that we need to check that we can play your film (we have found in the past that Vimeo is a good platform in this respect).

Overall, it is very important that you stick to this time frame and be very organised!
Any specific further questions are of course very welcome.

Finally, today we showed the student reps a film produced by the winning group in 2020, and we'd like to share it with you at this point. Bear in mind it was a very different theme, exploring ideas of change. We were all getting used to the extraordinary changes that 2020 had brought us.
Enjoy:
"I, Hybrid" (https://vimeo.com/454673227)

In the meantime, wishing you a very enjoyable final push,
Your Team Leaders

You very well may have come across the hypnotic, morphing works of Adam Ferriss' before. His work has been featured on the likes of The New Yorker and The New York Times on several occasions, while his prowess in creative tech graces the renowned animation studio Buck, too. Originally from Richmond, Virginia, Adam has been residing in sunny LA for near on ten years, where he creates his mesmerising experiments. But it was originally an interest in the manipulation of photography which first led Adam down the road to coding.

Seeking a way to distort images outside the dark room and without using Photoshop, Adam taught himself how to code using Processing during the "slow times" at his job in a photo lab. As his skills progressed, he graduated onto openFrameworks where he experimented with real-time video manipulations, then, he decided to embark on a Master's degree in Design Media Arts at UCLA, studying under the digital artist, Casey Reas. Upon graduating, Adam started to "poke around the edges of new technologies," experimenting with the input and output of non-traditional ways of working or methods.

These days however, you're more likely to find to find the creative writing shader code for realtime graphics - shader being a computer program used for shading in 3D scenes to craft the intended rendered image. He predominantly works in the realms of augmented reality and face filters, and, he tells It's Nice That: "I've done a little bit of exploring GAN's and some machine learning type things as well" - GAN being a generative adversarial network, in other words, a machine learning system. But for Adam, "it's much harder to own the work you create with [those methods] because you're mostly running an architecture that's already been made." He adds, "The art is in selecting the dataset that you train the AI on."

Some DOs and DON'Ts (mostly DOs) of your London Investigation

# data[].attributes.body
1. DO keep in mind the following questions which communicate descriptive elements of your group project: WHERE - WHAT - WHEN - WHO, but also, and very importantly, these questions which communicate  reflective elements: WHY - HOW.

2. DON'T create something that has the feel of a tourist guide to London i.e. superficial, yielding no personal insights or discoveries and full of visual cliches like 'Buckingham Palace', 'red buses' and 'telephone boxes' (for example, there is a difference in intention between the two images of telephone boxes featured on this Padlet. What is it?).

3. DO consider the form and content of the final presentation on Friday (week 8). Will it be digital, analogue, or a combination of both mediums? Why? Be ready to explain your process and decision making. It is good to connect this to an imaginative title (see 4).

4. DO start with a working title (descriptive) but after a few weeks of working together agree on a final title that is perhaps playful, ironic, poetic, metaphorical or a short quotation from elsewhere. Why is this a good idea?

The best time of year to visit London in United Kingdom

London experiences a temperate maritime climate. This climate type is characterized by a tempered temperature because of the nearby sea water. In summer, the cooler seawater ensures that it is not extremely hot. In winter months, the relatively warm seawater ensures that the risk of extreme cold is much lower.

London has the image always to be wet and gray. But if you look at the whole of the United Kingdom, London is actually one of the most sunny and dry cities in the country. With a quantity of rain that comes out below six hundred millimeters per year, London is drier than for example Rome. With a number of hours of sunshine that averages around fifteen hundred a year, London is not to be called extremely sunny but it is not to bad as well.

Summers have pleasant temperatures with average high temperatures around 23 degrees Celsius (73.4°Fahrenheit) and night temperatures of 13 degrees Celsius (55.4°F). Winters in London are cold, but the temperature is hardly below freezing. Snow occurs sometimes in winter but rarely settles more than a few millimeters deep.

Springs is a great period to visit London. During the day it is nice and warm, however in the evenings it is still very cool. In autumn months it can occasionally storm. The rainfall is evenly spread throughout the year.

Here are some average weather facts we collected from our historical climate data:

During the month of June, July, August and September you are most likely to experience good weather with pleasant average temperatures that fall between 20 degrees Celsius (68°F) and 25 degrees Celsius (77°F).

The months of October have a high chance of precipitation.

The warmest month is July with an average maximum temperature of 23°C (74°F).

The coldest month is February with an average maximum temperature of 8°C (46°F).

October is the most wet month. This month should be avoided if you are not a big fan of rain.

February is the driest month.

July is the most sunny month.

Renting property in London is eye-wateringly expensive and it won't come as a surprise that only in a handful of boroughs is rent deemed "affordable". According to the Office for National Statistics, rent below 30 per cent of household income is considered "affordable".

Renting property in London is eye-wateringly expensive and it won't come as a surprise that only in a handful of boroughs is rent deemed "affordable". According to the Office for National Statistics, rent below 30 per cent of household income is considered "affordable".

Only a few boroughs meet this criteria in the capital, and of the five most affordable postcodes in and bordering the capital - based on the amount of rent paid as a percentage of the average household income in that area - four are in South London. Rental platform Ocasa picked out the cheapest postcodes in London and CR2, which covers South Croydon, came out as having the lowest rent when compared to average income. There, the average rent is £15,024 per year, or £1,252 per month, which works out as 25.2 per cent of household income.

Three other postcodes either in South London or bordering it follow closely behind South Croydon in terms of affordability, as well as one West London postcode. All five postcodes are on the outer edges of London with one - CR3 - actually in Surrey but sitting right on the border with South London.

Rental prices are up 14 per cent in a year in London, according to Rightmove. The average rent per month across the capital is now a whopping £2,193 a month. Rightmove has said demand outweighing supply is partly to blame. But you can pay nearly half the London average in certain areas. See below for a breakdown of the five most affordable postcodes.

CR2: South Croydon

Average rent: £15,024 per year, £1,252 per month

Average household income: £59,700

1. In fact, I have a lot of fantasy of England and I always admire about London. Because I'm a big fan of Harry Potter and I really like British accent. And London is the capital of England.

2. I'm so excited to go to London. Actually, I have been to England twice for travel. But this time, I'm looking forward to this journey because it's an opportunity to stay there for a year and live like a local.

3. I would like to communicate with others without difficulty and hesitation in English. Also, I want to be influenced by sharing my work with colleagues from various countries and environments.

K2 kiosks on Broad Court, Covent Garden, London

Red telephone booths already become one of the icons of British style. In 2006 the K2 telephone box was voted one of Britain's top 10 design icons, which included the Mini, Supermarine Spitfire, London tube map, World Wide Web, Concorde and the AEC Routemaster bus.[2][3] Although production of the traditional boxes ended with the advent of the KX series in 1985, many still stand in Britain.

The red telephone box was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott (1880- 1960) and, along with the red post box and the red London bus, is an instantly recognizable symbols of Britain.

According to the Met Office Climate data, over the 30 year period, there were 106.5 days of rainfall per year on average (which counts as a day in which 1mm of rainfall or over fell). This means that there was rainfall on 29 per cent of days per year and on average it didn't rain 71 per cent of days per year.

Dr. Martens is a British footwear and clothing brand.

History
-Klaus Martens was a doctor in the army of Nazi Germany during World War ll. After he injured his ankle in 1945, he found that his standard-issue army boots were too uncomfortable on his injured foot. While recuperating, he designed improvements to the boots, with soft leather and air-padded soles made of tyres.

The first Dr. Martens boots in the UK, with an eight-eyelet cherry red-coloured smooth leather design known as style 1460 and still in production today, although in many variations, were introduced on 1 April 1960.

The British brand Barbour was created in 1892 by John Barbour, a native of Galloway, Scotland.

In England, where the weather is fickle, many people of all ages use this product, and it has gained a reputation as a high-quality product.

It is a royal brand that supplies to the British royal family and has a mark provided by the royal family. By appointment to 'Her Majesty The Queen', 'H.R.H The Duke of Edinburgh', 'H.R.H The Prince of Wales'. Only companies with outstanding technology and legitimacy among the goods produced in the UK are awarded this honor.

Barber jacket is famous for its waterproof technology, and its typical form is a waxed waterproof cloth with a padded lining with quilting. It is in the form of a brown corduroy collar and has excellent warmth and waterproof properties.

It is a brand that Royal Family enjoys wearing for walks, horseback riding, and hunting, and feels more valuable as time goes by with its simple, practical, traditional classic design and Barber's high quality.
