Pretty much the coolest thing ever today.

Every once and a while, you see something that so exactly represents the current state of artistic expression in its given genre, it almost renders itself obsolete. That’s kinda how I feel about this.

A bubbly, glitchy state of the motion/infographics union by Japanese group Bonsajo.

This video shows the test of a software developed as a programming exercise.

The image is digitally manipulated by fragmenting it into horizontal lines and then combining lines from different frames in the display. The result is a distorsion of the figures caused by their motion in time, or, as Brazilian researcher Arlindo Machado calls it: chronotopic anamorphosis.

The effect was completely based on Zbigniew Rybczynski’s “The Fourth Dimension”, but transposed to Processing programming environment and performed in real-time.

The software still has some memory issues, specially when the image rendering is combined with video recording, as it can be seen in this video.

Playing around with Videator and Mac OS X’s Core Image tonight. Original footage taken from the STEREO spacecraft. Quicktime version plays much better because I can’t figure out how to rasterize playback speed.

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.

A ton of really excellent graphic and motion design for film and television, specifically sweet futuristic-looking computer interfaces and information visualizations. By Mark Coleran.
