Lumiere London is a festival bringing art installations created by artists from around the world. In total there were 5 installations in and around Trafalgar Square, Westminster and the Mall. The installations were on from Thursday 14 to Sunday 17 January 2016.
For one reason or another the installation by Pablo Valbuena created the kinematope for the mall wasn't on during the last day of the festival, unfortunately, I was not able to snap a picture for your viewing. The artwork would have featured streams of lights lining up on both sides of a road leading up to the fountain near Buckingham Palace.
Lumiere is a series of light installations dotted around London with a selection of different displays such as sculptures and projections. The event is produced by Artichoke and supported by the Mayor of London. Some of it was at King's Cross from 14 to 17 January 2016. Asides from the gazing upon the wondrous beauty of these art pieces in the King's Cross area, there was a chance to get free candy floss at each point of the installation, which adds to the nice finish to the evening.
There are in total 11 installations in this trail at King's Cross:
Launched last year as an Microsoft's April Fools' joke bringing the MS-DOS system, which was the "simplest operating system" Microsoft brought to the market that reached "millions of people". The app had its very own video to accompany it:
It runs like the fully-fledged MS-DOS system which has spiritually transformed into Command Prompt on PCs. To access the applications, you'd have to type the following the following path:
cd programs
cd phone
dir
This will give a directory of the applications from within that path:
Camera.exe - brings up the camera
Contacts.exe - brings up the contact list
Email.exe - brings up an option to open up the e-mail application
Internet.exe - Opens up internet explorer (with the added bonus of a dial-up tone)
Maps.exe - brings up the map application
Phone.exe - will ask for the number to dial and then confirm to call
Review.exe - review and rate the app in the market store
Search.exe - uses search tool/Cortana to search the locally and on the web
SMS.exe - send a text to an entered number or select from contact
The camera comes up with three settings: ASCII, B&W and CGA. It gives option to use the front or back camera. Once the picture is snapped, it can be saved to the camera roll and/or share online.
There are a lot of MS-DOS that are begging to be explored such as Windows 3.1 (typing the "WIN" command) and a real gem of a game Rock, Paper, Scissors. Cortland comes to play as well as she walks through the painstaking adventure of a process of loading up a game.
