Dataflux

DATAFLUX 0.1 from Kit Webster on Vimeo.

Installation at RMIT in Melbourne, Australia. "Dataflux 1.0 is a new media gallery installation that investigates the possibilities of using live software codes to render synesthetic audio and visual experiences. The installation uses a counting mechanism to step between scenes and sequences. Projections are beamed onto a motorised mirror allowing for wider displacement, sound and lighting effects are all triggered at specific synchronized moments." - Kit Webster

I haven't posted any music videos before this, but I was just captivated by this one. From Grizzly Bear off of the album Veckatimest.

ROBJOE

There isn't any info in the portfolio of Robjoe. But there is some really nice design work happening. I was lured into the collage work of the above entitled, "Growth."

Object i-v

I've posted Chad Hagen's work before only I didn't know his name or anything about him. The textures and color palette he uses are beautiful. The work that originally caught my eye was called Nonsensical Infographics. Have a look and enjoy.

Sofia Hulten

Artist Sofia Hulten took an old and battered chest of drawers and restored to its presumed original state. Then after she rebuilt it she destroys it again, taking it back to the the original found state of the object.

See pictures of the process at Molde - Crafts and Applied Arts, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Damn Sea Legs

I stumbled across the work of Matthew Walkerdine today. I really like his illustration stylings and it seems as though he has started some new direction in collage that I also find intriguing. See more here, Damn Sea Legs.

Studio Dumbar was approached to develop the visual identity and Buro Knapzak developed this experimental motion piece "They asked us to translate their graphical concept into motion design. And so we did..."

Jeu d'échecs avec Marcel Duchamp (1963)

Video embed won't work. Click here to view the film.

This film records an in-depth interview with Duchamp which took place five years before his death, at the time of his first ever one-man show (at the Pasadena Art Museum). It records for posterity Duchamp talking about his life, his ideas on art, why he chose to continue living in America after fleeing France in 1915, and why he virtually abandoned his work as an artist in 1923. An engaging dialogue takes place between Duchamp and film-maker Jean-Marie Drot as they go around the Pasadena show, with the artist commenting on the exhibits and using them to explain the various stages of the development of his work. This is punctuated by the games of chess, which were for Duchamp a passion and a metaphor for the mental discipline he applied to his art. In this film we gain a rare glimpse of him talking with humour and insight about his ideas, and living up to the myth of the artist-philosopher that has grown up around him.

Jeu d'échecs avec Marcel Duchamp was filmed late 1963 in Pasadena and New York for the Radio Télévision Franaise (RTF); first broadcast on 8 June 1964 and then shown at the International Festival of Artistic Films and Films of Art (Bergamo, 19 September 1964). The English version was presented in a television broadcast in September 1964 in the 'Art and Man' Series.

Brilliantly Dull

19 year old Margaret Durow from Wisconsin has some really beautiful, etherial photography to be discovered. I think this little someone will have a very bright future, soon.
