Massive Attack: “United Snakes”

Animation by UVA, directed by Dave Ferner
Originally designed for Massive Attack’s live show at Beck’s Fusions 2008, this animation is now available online. The video was designed using custom 3D software developed by UVA, which allowed the creation of spontaneous, organic forms, simply by “sketching” the outlines.

I saw this artist on BLDGBLOG today, this let me reminds Sato Tokihiro, a Japanese artist that uses the same techniques as light paintings. One uses colour and the other uses B&W. I like this kind of interference towards a nature landscape, the present of the work on the site is only being remembered through a media not the actual it self. The absence remains after the photos.

Telephone Jim Jesus - Birdstatic

Amazingly beautiful visualization of the trace of a body movement, the delayed and long exposure images composite as an animation of a blur body.

John Baldessari - Arbitrary games

Throwing 4 Balls in the Air to Get a Square,

in which the artist attempted to do just that, photographing the results, and eventually selecting the "best out of 36 tries", with 36 being the determining number just because that is the standard number of shots .

The Darkside architecture - Mas Yehdo

Mas Yendo was born in 1957 in Tokyo, Japan, and educated at the Rhode Island School of Design (B.A.) and Pratt Institute (M.A., architecture).

He was taught by Lebbeus Woods, so we can see some similar expression from the drawings. but they are achieving in different agenda. As LW is illustrating the conflicts, politics, vectors, which is a "Sudden" impact of forces towards architecture. Yendo is on the opposite side, he introduces the "Slowness" decay of time or in architecture, the memory or trace that embedded in spaces. He argues that buildings cannot remember us, which means it doesn't shows our presence. The difference between architecture and building is that one is idea the other is object, the idea can be recorded into architecture as history but building as object is to be consumed and forgotten. His work is all about what does it mean to you, not how does it work or what is it made of. Although he said he is not a typical Japanese, but I would rather believe the his ascent of design is very indeed Taoism.

Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren in Chrome!!
This is really a crazy idea that makes me think of the invisible Austin Martin in 007,the surface of the body becomes the reflected environment that changing in time. the traces of the surroundings left on the moving body....etc. wonder what happen when its moving under the sun, probably will blind the police. It reminds my project somehow.

Taiwan Architects

These are the projects that was designed by Taiwanese architects, one is my 4th year tutor, and the other are my senior whom won the international competition during the masters, its quite touching to see it finished after so many years. It's a big challenge for a group of young students to face the reality of cooperating with the local goverment and finally made it.

Golfer in the Bunker - Moving Camera

This is a moving camera version of the golfer, the camera is following the object, zoom in, rotate to capture the spatial quality of this landscape. The notation depicts the position of the moving points that are then become the location of the swirl object.

Golfer in the Bunker - test 03

Mixing the footage of the original recording with the motion tracker in the After effect that pick up the position of the body to create another speed of interference that swirls in between the motion landscapes.
