today and tomorrow

Mister Furry is one of the 6 new TV idents created by Universal Everything for MTV’s international brand refresh. You can read more about the whole project at the Creative Review blog.

This is the closest I’ll get to a beach for the next few weeks, “Pitaya Frenesí” by Rebolledo feat. Matias Aguayo.

This probably the oldest footage of bike tricks. Thomas Edison filmed “Bicycle trick riding, no. 2” in 1899!

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.

This music video for Rusty Naily by Moderat fits perfectly to my last post about the photography of William Hundley. Last night was actually the record release party at WMF in Berlin and it was quite hot. I didn’t know the support act Anstam before, but I really liked them. It’s almost impossible to find anything on these 2 German brothers, you can listen to their tracks on MySpace. Dark!

UPDATE 15/05/09 15:05:
The record label BPitchControl took down the video, apparently they are still quite old school.
Thumbs down!
But I found this 30 seconds excerpt, sorry for the b*tt ugly flash player.

I’ve been listing to “Moth” by Burial & Four Tet all afternoon. So why not another time?

This is the music video for Sansula by Dominik Eulberg, directed by Dirk Rauscher. They projected animations in a forrest and then filmed them, the details shots of the flowers where done in a stopframe method with a DSLR camera. The result is excellent!
If you like this, then you will be blown away by Scintillation by Xavier Chassaing.

Videos of ferrofluids never let me down. This one by Shawn Knol is not that spectacular but nevertheless very nice.

David Oreilly made these stage visuals for Bang by M.I.A, in the end she didn’t use them for her Coachella gig. Do what the sound say!
