This is a graphical representation of the score of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony (No. 5, allegro). Each color respresents one music instrument. You can find more of these videos in Stephen Malin his YouTube account and find more information on the Music Animation Machine website. Very impressive!

FUCK 3D is the first Speed Project by Aram Bartholl of F.A.T.
- Are you annoyed by the people and world around you?
- Do you feel sometimes dizzy walking home in the 3rd dimension?
- But you DO enjoy your 2D – facebook/twitter/browser life much more than the dirty world our there?F.A.T. brings to you a brand new solution!!! Just switch your whole life to 2D. Get a pair of FUCK 3D glasses, loose the 3rd dimension and enjoy full 2D!!! It never has been so easy!! Life is so much better!!

The first beta of Rhonda just came out a few hours ago and it’s exactly like expected, very cool. If you don’t remember what Rhonda is all about, you might want to read this. Here is a video where Zach Lieberman demos a few of the features.
I tried it out too, but my non existent drawing skills and trackpad didn’t really help.
555 KUBIK was the title of a facade video projection at the Kunsthalle in Hamburg (Germany), taking place last May. The idea behind it was: “How it would be, if a house was dreaming”. Daniel Rossa was responsible for the art direction and decided to use some visualisations of the inside of the building together with other animations. The facade isn’t that exciting itself, but the projection takes it to a new level.
Maybe you remember the facade projection “Augmented Space” by Pablo Valbuena, which he did in The Hague (The Netherlands) last year. It’s very similar, but the animation is much more reduced. And I think the building in The Hague is actually more interesting. You can see some videos here.
But you should watch the 555 KUBIK video first.
Rhonda is a 3D drawing tool like no other, the first when I saw it a few years ago I was immediately blown away. Amit Pitaru developed this amazing piece of software around 2003. Around that time he was collaborating with James Paterson, their project was called InsertSilince. In this video you can see James drawing using Rhonda with his unique style.
So it’s very nice to hear that the development of Rhonda will continue with the help of Zach Lieberman (openFrameworks) and Zach Gage (synthpond).
Siggi Eggertsson made this music video for Supernova by Lawrence Cepstral. Love his style.

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.

Lately I’m really into these video projections on 3D objects and buildings. I always wondered how they do that, how they match the projected animations with the objects. Last November there was a workshop for the students of Hochschule für Gestaltung Schwäbisch Gmünd how to do this with vvvv, a toolkit for real time video synthesis. The students got quite a headstart because they had a scale model of the building and digital 3D models to start with. The position of the spectator is of course quite important to obtain the desired visual effect. If you want to try it out yourself, then you might want to read this guide on the vvvv website: How To Project On 3D Geometry. You can see the results of the workshop here, unfortunately they only used the scale model to show the final animations.

“Vrgb VHS Visual Music Composition n.002″ is video with excerpts from a live mixing session performed on 8 VCR decks with some analog feedback/delay effects by Jan Dybala. Glitches all over the place!

I always find it fascinating when someone can fold a sheet of paper into a rigid 3D structure. This video is a compilation of some experiments by Daniel Piker. Great stuff!
If you want to try it yourself, then these patterns may help you.
