I have completed a major cull of work from the concept library. What remains are key works only. Everything else has been filed for future reference and potential influence on new lines of enquiry.
UPDATE: the concepts have been listed under my two main themes: codes or cyphers; and from static to kinetic.

I am busy reformatting the Facebook Initials (FBI) output as facebook timeline cover images.
Each image is free to use for your own facebook timeline cover, but please leave my attribution intact. Share, but please don't represent as your own art work.
The images available under this limited personal use licence will be loaded to this facebook public album.
It would be great to know if you use one. Please leave a comment here or on facebook.

five components, each a C-Type and Durospec of 30cm x 30cm
edition of 5 as this set - materials and size can vary - see in the physical world
The beginning of a new twenty seven part virtual installation derived from the CIRCUARE cypher. Each virtual work has been specified for real world production (given a suitable commission). Enquiries about related commissions to intersect with your own ideas are welcome. Please make contact via e-mail to discuss.
[#] My 5% shadow is here to suggest the scale of the physical installation.

new lines of enquiry
I have several new (or derivative) lines of enquiry at the gestation stage. Early experiments have been made and there are some preliminary outcomes viewable on my Revad as Coded Images facebook page. At some point there will be new records in the concept library, but not quite yet.

new concept and commission price guide...
...at http://www.codedimages.com/p/availability.html
This now includes a hard-nosed business based guide to prices. Selling work is all about releasing cash to allow more work to be made. This is the only motive when it comes to sales. Your commission will directly influence future output!

twitter user names (updated)
an opportunity to contribute (adjusted)
twitter user names update
The on-line installation of this virtual outcome has been updated at:
twitter user names : coded.
[UPDATED: 2011-12-17 @11:03AM]
As is so often the case, events move quicker than it is possible to record them accurately. The physical output for this project will now be constructed on a snapshot taken today (and not 31st December as previously stated). The project will continue into 2012 and the virtual exhibition will be updated on (at least) a weekly basis.
So, you can still get involved by following @codedimages and contribute to the continuing record of coded twitter user names.
And there may well be further physical installation opportunities in the future.

C I R C U A R E m (and me)
From circle to square via CIRCUARE. What happens when an artist questions the exhibition opportunities on offer. Why are in-line videos allowed in an a-n blog when static images are not? Why does a video need to move? Can what is expected to be kinetic satisfy when static?
These are some of the new questions involved in stimulating C I R C U A R E m (and me).
A series of twenty seven, fifty five second duration, static video components presented in reverse chronological order within an a-n blog. A blog used as-if a gallery.
exhibition schedule
2011-11-14 : installation started in public
2011-12-11 : fully installed and open
2012-12-11 : scheduled to close
Open now wherever and whenever you are connected.

comparing a concept to the reality of production
virtual and real : red s s statinetic rgb, © 2011 by revad david riley at coded images concepts
concept: raster pixel digital file sized for up-to 100cm x 100cm production output
reality: sample C-type and Durospec on an aluminium subframe; 51cm x 51cm
Comparing a concept to the reality of production.
On the left is the pure concept and on the right is a C-type and Durospec hung in my studio. What is a C-type and Durospec? This is a C-type Lambda, continuous tone high gloss, photographic print mounted directly to a sheet of acrylic on the face of the print and a sheet of Dibond on the back of the print. This sandwich is then spaced away from the wall by a 20mm aluminium sub-frame (hence the shadow line to the right).
Apart from a difference in brightness, the reality matches the concept perfectly. The brightness of the hung work will depend entirely upon lighting conditions. As the outcome is 'high gloss', reflections must also be considered. Careful placement and lighting can minimise these reflections (as here - although there is still a little of me in this). On the other hand, with this work in particular, reflecting the viewer can add another dimension to the work. So, the selected lighting and situation will be down to personal preference and the demands of the installation site. Either way, I am very happy with the outcome!
Don't forget to click the image for a much larger light-box view.

in the physical world
I have been exploring how best to make my virtual concepts manifest in the real-world. There is a balance to be had between making outcomes available and not becoming bored by repeating the same work over and over. And so, as of today, all virtual world concepts are available for commission into the real-world as one of an edition of 5 (unless otherwise clearly stated).
These editions of 5 are not the standard five identical copies, instead each member of the edition can be reproduced at any size and using any materials - as agreed at the time the physical manifestation is commissioned. So, if over time the maximum five physical outcomes are realised, it may be they are all different, all the same, or some variation in-between. At this stage it is highly likely that any new physical outcome will be unique in some way.
What can be guaranteed is five is the maximum number of physical manifestations derived from each concept.
In the physical world has been updated accordingly.
