Sweet new ad for the Madrid Metro.
New Sony Bravia ad just posted, I love these.
The third TV commercial for BRAVIA is the most ambitious piece of stop-motion animation ever undertaken. Devised by Fallon and shot over three weeks in New York, the commercial employed 40 animators from Passion and used 2.5 tonnes of modeling material.

This is stupid cool. I can’t wait to try this.
I want to do this with the RGB LEDs used in Jolly Lama’s juggling balls.
“Equipped with the appropriate technology, DAIM sprays graffiti into empty space. In a large hall, three cameras using Motion Capturing record DAIM’s position and the movements he executes with a virtual spray can. The assimilated data is shown to him in real time in a pair of video glasses - as free-floating 3D graffiti in space.”
Around the webs Robert is known as Flight404. This piece and many others by him are made with Processing. Tons more at his blog and Vimeo account. DVD release forthcoming.
This is my response to an image recently promoted to the top of social image bookmarking site, FFFFOUND!.
Called Chocolate Haas, this video was produced by designer Sander Plug in collaboration with Lernert Engelberts. Hypnotic and somehow metaphoric, I’m really digging this for some reason.
Erik Natzke’s generative paintings are made using Flash, sometimes from sampled photos and video and other times from scratch. He controls very specifically the environment in which his creations thrive, leaving the artwork’s specificities to the whim of the code. Generations of pixels live out their lives in quiet service of the master.
“Where forward thinking terrestrials share ideas and information about the state of the species, their planet and the universe, living the lives of science fiction.”
Figured out by hand no less, I’d love to see this reproduced with a computer.

FFFFOUND! is a new-ish image bookmarking site, kind of like del.icio.us for whatever badass photography/art/design/etc. you find around the internet. Not only that though, the website itself is an aggregate cornucopia of beautiful, stimulating, cortex-crunching imagery taken from everyone else’s submissions.
Microphones record an ongoing conversation, graphing the audio in concentric rings, differentiating voices by color. The further inward the rings, the further back in the conversation. Patterns reveal themselves such as individual people not speaking, interrupting, dominating, etc. Arguments and group silences become immediately tangible. (…)
Due to the incredible response to Brian Dettmer’s work, I have information courtesy the artist himself regarding some upcoming events where you can see his work in person (…)

Brian Dettmer carves into books revealing the artwork inside, creating complex layered three-dimensional sculptures.
Update: see Brian’s response in the comments.
Playing around with Videator and Mac OS X’s Core Image tonight. Original footage taken from the STEREO spacecraft.
There have been a lot of these typographic videos lately, but this one is actually really good, even rivals the Pulp Fiction animation. Musicians are Cuarteto de Nos from Uruguay.
If you didn’t go or if you’re just now getting back, there’s a lot of digital remnants from this year’s Burn. I’ve been following it all fairly closely and am posting the best of what I’ve seen. Please let me know if I’m missing anything cool.
“ZYGOTE is a lightweight inflated ball, illuminated from within, that responds to pressure applied to its surface. Interacting with the ball is simple: punch it, bounce it, squeeze it, or tap it and the ball’s internal LEDs react instantaneously.”
“These photographs are long exposures taken while playing video war games of the 80’s created by Atari, Centuri and Taito. The photographs were shot from video game screens while I played the games. By recording each second of an entire game on one frame of film, I captured complex patterns not normally seen by the eye.”
W+K/Psyop bring a sequel to last year’s beautiful Happiness Factory advertisement for Coca-Cola. This time around it’s 3 minutes long, apparently clips of it will appear as TV spots which plug Coke’s website to watch the full thing.
