ATOM Performance

January 28th, 2009

ATOM is a performance by Monolake and Christopher Bauder for a matrix of 64 gas balloons, lights, and sound. You can see it tomorrow evening at Berghain in Berlin.

A room is filled with deep, evolving noises from a four-channel sound system. An eight-by-eight array of white, self-illuminated spheres floats in space like the atoms of a complex molecule.

Through variable positioning and illumination of each atom, a dynamic display sculpture comes into being, composed of physical objects, patterns of light, and synchronous rhythmic and textural sonic events. Change, sound, and movement converge into a larger form.

The height of the helium balloons is adjusted with a computer-controlled cable, whilst the internal illumination is accomplished using dimmable super-bright LEDs, creating a pixel in a warped 8×8 spatial matrix.

The sonic events, the patterns of light, and the movement of the balloons are manipulated in real time as a 45-60 minute-long performance.

How To Lose Your Best Friend

December 12th, 2008

This week I have again a very intensive Dial Records phase, meaning that I listen to electronic music from that label nonstop. A few minutes ago I found this music video for “How To Lose Your Best Friend” by Archangel in my inbox. Pumping indie, really nice for a change. There is also an interactive version of the video, where you can arrange 5 different sequences. Colectiva was responsible for both.

Running with the Beast

November 24th, 2008

‘Running with the Beast’ is the title track of the new album by zZz. Roel Wouters made this music video, which resulted in the artwork and a series of posters for the song. Two cocks were colored with Ecoline, then they printed their fight on a sheet of paper. They claim that no animals were injured and no blood was shed.
I guess you know Roel Wouters other video for zZzs song Grip.

Planet Gear

November 14th, 2008

This is the music video for ‘Planet Gear’ by Squarepusher, made by Squarepusher himself.

The overall concept of this video revolves around images of imaginary astronomical phenomena. I selected a method which I anticipated would be appropriate to the construction of “scaleless” objects, such that one could imagine them occupying planetary sized volumes of space.
