back to Squatting

Mari and Per went to a lawer who had told them that if we send the complaint we wil risk getting a bigger fine and one of us may end up getting the responsibillity for everyone elses actions wich is absurd. We all came to the house at different times from different places with different motivations, backrounds and desires. Thats why its hard to come up with a manifest that describes everyones motivations and visions for future. And its not too strange when you think about most lawers are also landloards. So they have an agenda to supress and to intimidate squatters from acting....On the other hand its hard to give up the fight, we know we are right and that its much more than just what we are doing its larger question about what kind of a society we are......most likely is that we re going to show up monday at the courthouse and ask for a negotiation meeting acording to the rules.

We are having a meeting today at 17 oo we wil talk about the bright and sunny future...

Anyways heres a 80%finished turntable animation...I am not able to make bloggerPlayer to loop anyway... here is an allmost 360 degree turntable animation of the courthouse and its surroundings. There were some textures that didnt get through from ScetchUP to Maya i needto take a closer lok at conversion methods between these apps..greetings to.......Namsfogden that has offises in one of these buildings......:ø)
nJoy.

another_Rendertest


This is one of many puzzle pieses that make the city Oslo in 3d. This model I got from Knut Håkon Frølich. He is arcitecture student and we share enthusiazm about building the city of Oslo in 3D. We are collaborating in this. I am expecting some game engine related books and dvds from Amazon and you can guess if I am looking forwards to get the geometry across into the engine... Knut Håkon is generously sharing his work with me so ican do some animation and rendering tests in maya...the idea is to be able todo walks and fly throughs through the streets of Oslo in Maya for VFX or maybe import the geometry into a game engine and and shoot some dumb zombies..or design a game called "squattAhouse" where you get points...in search for the truth.... anyways here is a quick lighting test to see if geometry is tight....a turntable 360 degree loop is being rendered by some of the G5 computers at school..we need to set up renderClusters to be able to use all the prosessing power thats idle istead of having to wait for days.......i see its been working all night and its half done....288 of 400 frames of animation....

do you recognise the area?

breech of FORMAL PROSEDURES




On tuesday the 28 th we had visitors from the local juditial office. 2 guys from Namsmannen and Tommy Bruland from the police. They informed us that we must moove out of the house and that we shold do it before tuesday. Meaning they will come to moove us by forse on wednesday. They also had these papers with a "temporary desision" (kjennelse). By doing this thy brake their own rules and it s a breech in formal proseedures described in their own website. When theres a disagreement between two parties they are usually called in to a meeting . In this meeting the acusations can be presented and the accused can have a chanse to defend themselfs. Than a desision can be made. In our case there has been presented one sides view. The acusers. And there are several errors and untruths in the premises that lead to the invalid conclution (kjennelse). I wil be scanning the docks and post them with some comments here as soon as they fix the scanner here at the Academy. To make long story short.... we disregard this desision on mentioned grounds and we call for a meeting....
We are writing a complaint wich will be delivered tomoro. And we are making a video documentary.

P.S. hopefully the links are correct. read the text in the namsmannens site about the "midlertidig forføyning" (you haveto scroll down a bit)

I am not sure if its the right Tommy Bruland. Can someone confirm? Tommy?

First Wave from the landloard

Yesterday was the deadline the landloard had given us to moove out of our home. We hadn´t moved sinse we had no place to go. Nobody came during the day and we started to think maybe it was just a local joker that was pretending to be the landloard...but by the end of the workday Tor Jakobsen came and he wasnt willing to discuss. it seemed obvious that he was repeating the manuscript they had developed in the in the boardroom and he had no way of saying anything other.

I even tried to talk to him about arcitecture. It didnt help much he was repeating mechanically.......











yes Pær got home yesterday..........
