JULIEN VALLÉE / Danse Dance

“Each day, we are surrounded by seemingly insignificant objects, taking them from one place to the other, or leaving them on a table for weeks, without paying any attention to them. We ignore or forget them, using things only when we need to, making sure they don’t interfere or inhabit our space. But what if they were not so stable and subservient? What if they could swivel, bounce or even fly. And what if they did so all at the same time? We want to imagine a place where objects could live and move, harmoniously, and of their own accord. Without interfering with each other these objects would bounce, roll, turn and cross each other’s paths.

This experiment is about re-discovering our daily surroundings. This is the making of the interactive video that was originally made for If You Could Collaborate exhibition.

This video is the making of the interactive film where each object is assigned to a letter on the keyboard, and can be activated or deactivated at any time. To learn more about our process and to play with this interactive desk, go to dansedance.com

CHLOROPHYLL SKIN BY LUCIE MC RAE AND MANDY SMITH

An experimentation into color, movement, absorption and the body. For me it is an act of art between disgust and the fascination of surrealistic experiments with the human body, which is freaking me out in some way. Find here more information about Lucy McRae and Mandy Smith.

Nokta by Onur Senturk

March 27th, 2010 | Motion Design | No Comments

“Nokta (Dot) is an abstract film project which is an improvisation of organic pieces while considering themes like power, chance and luck.
I also wanted a perspective that can be subjectified by
viewers.”

‘I see some correspondence between the foundation of universal harmony on elliptical orbit and the predilection for the elliptic forms in Baroque architecture. In both cases harmony is still defined as unity within multiplicity, but it ceased to be static, namely, harmony expressed in one ideal geometrical form, and became so to speak dynamic. What was previously regarded as the deviation from the ideal form, was comprehended for the first time as an integral part of the form, or form of forms, which are capable of endless transitions one into another. ‘ [Amos Funkenstein, The Dialectical Preparation of Scientific Revolutions. On the Role of Hypothetical Reasoning in the Emergence of Copernican Astronomy and Galilean Mechanics.]

Matt Pyke

What an awesome and talented guy. Gifted with an extraordinary design mind. In this video he allows us a insight look in his Design work from the beginning on and also he presents Universal Everything. An Introduction into the work flow and process of his projects. And he has some wise comments, we should think about, if we are in to this world of design.

It is quite long, but I didn’t get bored or something. He speaks in a relaxed manner and the information are conditioned in a way that you dont’t lose concentration.

Take yourself some time  and enjoy the presentation of his inspiring work.

Motion Graphics Created with Programming and Music as a Symbiont

February 8th, 2010 | Animation, Motion Design, Music | No Comments

In this article I want to summarize an exploration of digital artworks born and influenced by sound, a collaboration between programmers, artists, musicians and animators. Forms, colours, structures and sculptures generated with programming. I show you my 5 favorites, mostly choosen because of my liking of music by Four Tet,  The Flashbulb and Alva Noto.

For more informations about the theme, tools and tutorials and of course more examples visit this blog www.smashingmagazine.com.

Here for now a fast introduction into the topic, a visualization of  abstract micro graphics and mellow forms evolved by a energized idm sound.

_grau by Robert Seidel in HD

January 9th, 2010 | Animation, Art, Motion Design | 2 Comments

_grau | 10:01 min | d 2004 | HD premiere from Robert Seidel on Vimeo.

_grau is a award-winning experimental film by Artist Robert Seidel based in Jena, Germany. Produced in 2004 it is now available in HD on Vimeo (before it was only shown in museums and galleries in this detail and quality). Here is what it is about:

“_grau is a personal reflection on memories coming up during a car accident, where past events emerge, fuse, erode and finally vanish ethereally … various real sources where distorted, filtered and fitted into a sculptural structure to create not a plain abstract, but a very private snapshot of a whole life within its last seconds …”

Though there are some impressive effects to be seen here, and one wonders how this was done, Robert comments on Vimeo:

“_grau is not really about the technique although it wouldn’t be possible without it. The key is the hidden narration, so everything you see is flowing and intervening from the same basis, just offering different perspectives on the event…”.”

Abstract, organic, emotional! Love it.
Watch it in HD!

The amazing Animations of Adam Pesapane (PES)

December 5th, 2009 | Animation, Film, Motion Design | 1 Comment

Adam Pesapane is a 35 year old digital artist based in New York City.  PES doesn’t like being called an animator. “It’s very limiting,” says the 30 year old self-professed storyteller, director and artist from New Jersey. He uses objects from our daily life and animates them with stop-motion..combined with the right soundtrack there is an amazing outcome. No doubt that his work reminds me a bit of the movies of Jan Swankmajer i posted some time ago. Even if there is no “claymotion” involved and not as surrealistic.

No doubt PES has his own style though. Genius!
See lots more on his youtube channel or on his website www.eatpes.com.

Here are some of my favourites Shorts:

Western Spaghetti (most recent one)

Roof Sex

The Pendulum for the Expo 2010 in Shanghai – by Milla&Partner

December 2nd, 2009 | Art, Data Visualization, Film, Motion Design | 1 Comment

2 weeks ago my university was invited to see the pre-presentation of the energysphere. It is a sphere  which is going to be installed at the german-pavillon fpr the expo 2010 in shanghai. The Event-Agency Milla&Partner created this amazing element. With hundred of thousands of LED´s it creates different visuals on its surface. In Shanghai it will interact with the participants. For example if the people are screaming – the sphere will be following the voices. It was very impressive to see this. Its still having some problems with the interaction, but i am sure it will be impressive at shanghai.

It weighs 1200kg and has a diameter of 3m.

Check the video below.

Building Projections

December 2nd, 2009 | 3D, Animation, Art, Motion Design | 1 Comment

Hello Friends!

In some lessons at university we got to know some great kinds of media-arts. Some of them where so impressing, so o decided to show this at cityclouds.de. The 1st video shows different kinds of on-front-projections which where put on some buildings. With high-power projector they put animals, bowls, helicopters and more on big-buildings. Very impressive.

the 2nd Video shows the Bayer Building at Leverkusen. This Building was the center of the Bayer Company. After they moved the center, they where thinking about what´s going to happen with this building. They decided to create an art-element for the city. They put a lot of lightsources (probably LED) on the Building and created different kinds of visuals.

the 3rd video shows the same kind of technique like on the 2nd. They created nice building Projections with light elements at the ars elctronica center in Linz. The aec is the best museum of media art at Linz, and one of the best in the world.

I hope you like the projections. All of them have a special beauty and this shows how much is possible nowadays. Enjoy.
