Weird video of the day: Oneiroi Lines by NYX.

AntiVJ made this light and sound installation called “Tour des Convoyeurs” during the Mutek festival in Montreal. We’ve seen video projections on buildings before, but the look and feel of this one is very nice.

The Persistence of Sadness by Rafaël Rozendaal. Turn up your volume and click on the rocks!

Interval Studies by Tristan Perich are series of sound installations. Each has a grid of speakers emitting a single, primitive 1-bit tone with a different pitch. In total it’s just noise.

“Quarter Mile Groove” by Daniel Eatock.

The recording translates the length of its vinyl groove into audio allowing listeners to experience the 1/4 mile length of the spiral as the record is played. Every inch of the needle’s path is audible in the form of a click, each foot as a beat and distances of 10 feet are heard as a blip. These sounds gradually slow as the stylus approaches the center, (the stylus travels less distance in the groove with each revolution of the record). Along the way, the voice of the narrator mentions the horizontal dimensions of particular objects.

Production by Malcolm Goldie.

This tangle is the unbroken, vinyl residue resulting from the initial master cutting of Quarter Mile Groove. Unraveled, this thread of vinyl would be 1⁄4 mile in length.

Alexis Malbert a.k.a. TapeTronic knows how to handle oldskool audio cassettes. The first video shows you his different scratch cassettes, the second one some weird customised tapes and tapedecks.

Here’re 2 videos of kinetic sound installations made by David Ellis and Roberto Carlos Lange. They’ve used trash to create these soundscapes. Believe me, you have to watch these.
You can find 2 more pieces at YouTube: Winchester and 3 Wire Universal.

Play the piano on YouTube! It’s an interactive video by Kokokaka.com.

Mobile Mobile is a Christmas installation at the Lost Boys international office in London. They used 50 old company cellphones to make this huge mobile. Each phone is controlled by a computer and has its own tone. When no one interacts with the sculpture, it plays “Carol of the Bells”. But you can also play with it. You can control it through this website or you can send a tweet with #lbitree and it will react to it. If you’re in London, you can just pop by at their office.
