Demo by Holon – Noodlesoup

holon – noodlesoup from holon on Vimeo.

A demo (from the demoscene) is mostly a non-interactive audio-visual presentation that runs in real-time on a computer. This one is done with Java and can be download as a executable for PC here http://holon.drastic.net/. Credits go to one of my former colleagues rtz23 and pandrr. Love the outcome and the powerful colors.. couldnt get it to run on a pc though. I´d love to see how it works in real time.

Andreya Triana ‘A Town Called Obsolete’ (Official Video)

July 3rd, 2010 | Art, Music, Web | No Comments

Andreya Triana ‘A Town Called Obsolete’ (Official Video) from Ninja Tune on Vimeo.

“Second single from Andreya Triana, ‘A Town Called Obsolete’, released on 26th July on Ninja Tune. Taken from her forthcoming debut album ‘Lost Where I Belong’ (23rd August), which is produced by Bonobo”

I like the video a lot as they used the all so popular stereoscopic effect to simulate image depth. Its been spreading over the web for some time now and animated gif blogs feature many kinds of imagery.  See some on abduzeedo or on gesticulation. But lets not forget about Andreya Triana…she had a huuge year and the Album on Ninja Tune is long awaited, with tracks cooperations by Bonobo and even Mount Kimbie, some of my favourite artists at the moment. Looking forward to it!

Video produced and directed by Mister McCarthy and DOP Christopher Sabogal.

Enigmatica by Kit Webster

March 30th, 2010 | Animation, Art, Music | No Comments

ENIGMATICA from Kit Webster on Vimeo.

Kit Webster is a new media installation artist and composer from Melbourne, Australia.
He describes Enigmatica:

“Enigmatica acts as an experimental platform for the combination of light, sound and space in order to develop immersive synthasthetic environments.
A series of suspended frames diminish in size down the length of the gallery acting as a canvas for the display of surface specific projected visual sequences.
By positioning the frames in a perfect series, and developing visualisations that are isolated to these frames, I aim to create a work that does not exist entirely in one or two dimensions but a form of synthetic hybridized space.
It is this constructed inter-dimensionality and the development of freely flowing abstract visual and sonic sequences that aims to demonstrate the potential for new forms of digital sculpture.”

Great work really! See more on his vimeo channel or on his website.

_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.
