I've just found out about this nice little opportunity at the Bohunk Institute, and even though I snorted at the £5 submission requirement, I reckon that it would be worth trying to submit the Coniglio Trials 2 (Atrium Experiment). I've had a bit of trouble securing the empty slot at Surface for an interactive exhibition, so I'm trying some luck with Bohunk as well.
That's also brought up the issue of borrowing equipment for longer... or buying my own, most likely more powerful laptop. I've looked on the Apple website and found there is one at a slightly reasonable price of £859 (student discount). I'm considering whether to finance it appropriately by splitting the cost through monthly payments.
The reason why I want a new and up-to-date laptop is precisely that: being more up-to-date. I use macs very often for my creative avenues, and from my regular usage of Isadora, Photoshop and other in-depth programs, it'll be worth the investment. I've learned enough about Macs and how to take care of them properly.
Not too shabby a price from Apple, I would say. But then I also have a job which pays me quite a bit whilst I continue to study my MA at Trent, so I'm not typically the impoverished student I was a couple of months back.
