Chlorophyll Skin is an experimentation into color, movement, absorption and the body by Lucy McRae and Mandy Smith. The music is “When I Grow Up” by Fever Ray. Amazing work!
This music video for Misfit by The Bumblebeez was directed by the Glue Society. They produced the track completely on a Nintendo DSi. It was actually commissioned by V Energy Drink for their V Raw programme where they want to encourage young Australians to a apply for internships at creative companies. The website documents the whole process to give them an insight in the whole creative machinery.
“The Animatic” is a Rube Goldman machine developed by Yuri Suzuki and Household. It is actually a three-dimensional music video. A record player triggers a chain of small individual animating machines. These are all based on simple animation techniques from flick books to shadow puppets. The viewer follows a chain of machines to piece together a narrative. By the time the viewer reaches the end of the song they will have seen in essence a music video for the chosen record, which in this instance is “Memphis Tennessee”, a Silicon Teens cover of the classic track by Chuck Berry.
The music video for “I Will Glam” by Pedro Marín is the first one ever that you can view on teletext. Actually you can only see it on channel four in Spain, between May 18th and May 29th between 21.00 and 23.00, on page 899. Great Works are the creatives behind this. You can find some more background information here.
By the way, I turned off the volume very quickly after the video started, just to warn you.
The ARS Electronica Center in Linz, Austria, has quite an impressive facade. It is actually a huge display, 1085 windows are equiped with fully controllable LED’s.
“Lights On” is an audio visual performance, the visual programming with openFrameworks was done by Zachary Lieberman, Joel Gethin Lewis and Damian Stewart. Daito Manabe did the music with support from Taeji Sawai and Kyoko Koyama. The colors of the LED’s changed in realtime to the music that was broadcasted on speakers surrounding the building. They recorded the output, both the music and LED animation for later replay.
