Radiohead just released a new video for its song “House of Cards” from the album “In Rainbows”. No cameras or lights were used, insted of them, two technology used to capture 3D images: Geometric Informatics and Velodyne LIDAR. Geometric Informatics scanning systems produce structured light to capture 3D images at close proximity, while a Velodyne Lidar system that uses multiple lasers is used to capture large environments such as landscapes. The used data(csv) and processing code are also released in google code, which everyone can use it.
These days we often see the website which uses FLV effectively,and the IKEA’s special site “The Complete Bedroom” is one of the best site. The technique of editing movie is quite fine!
Movie and music cut-up slightly express busyness in daily life, and at the same time that way connects with high speedy luxury movie and slow/medium tempo music and make nice contrast.
写真は、MariusWatzというアーティストのflickrにまとめられているフォトセットからピックアップした彫刻的な作品。フォトセットは“Frozen: 5 Days Off” というアムステルダムで行われているサウンド・イベントと同時開催の展示で設置されている作品のアーカイブのようです。説明によると、オーディオビジュアルなライブパフォーマンスではない手法で、音を可視化するのが目的とのこと。レーザーでカットされたガラスの断面は、すごく奇麗。触ると切れそうそうですけど。
Today’s post doesn’t appertain to photography/video, but it’s a attempt to visualize time-based audio and I think it interesting well so let you know.
The pictures are sound sculptures picked up from flickr photo set by a artist Marius Watz. The Photo described the archives of “Frozen: 5 Days Off” , that seems to be a exhibition held with sound festival in Amsterdam. From the description, this project aims to visualize sound which doesn’t categorized in a sort of the live-presented audio-visual performance art. The profile of pixelglass cutted by lazer is quite beautiful, but we can’t touch this.
Nacho Alegre is a photographer lives in Barcelona, Spain. From those photographs, he use moleskine notebooks and puts photographs on it, and finally take photographs of the books, upload themselves on his website. Rather than the quority of his photography, I recommend the fact that clearfying the materiality of prints and notebook. The point is quite fine. He started his career by shooting fashion portrait and Vitra interiors. Recently he works for a new magazine “Apertmento Magazine” that published this spring as a art director.
Today I’ll introduce you to a book “Mosatsu”, which have been popular in the media recently, that means shooting fevered imagination. This aims to visualize(or realize) the fevered imagination which every teenager boys have. The way to photographs are taking two version of gravure picture wearing clothes and underwear(or swimwear) from the same position, same angle. Then, heaping 2 prints and the wearing photograph is pulled apert on some area near body. Photographer is Tommy, who previously works as assistant of Leslie Kee, a famous fashion photographer. I guess that though there is emphatic middle school-aged bottom center, but it doesn’t lose fineness because he has such a part of skill.
This is a site streaming audio+visual. Setting your feelings with parameter or preset at the moment, the site choises image and music that seems to match your mood. I think this sort of webservice appearing and makes us comfortable but at the same time I realize that I don’t have deep fellow feeling with it. I wonder… I guess because I cannot see strong will or desire to change something through it.
Sarah Pickeringはロンドン在住のフォトグラファーで、紹介する作品”Explosion”のように、爆発や火災の写真を撮っています。関連記事によると、軍隊や警察の演習の現場に行って撮影してるみたいです。そのほか、”Fire Scene”という作品は火災現場の写真、これどうやって撮っているのか気になります。火事の事件性と、構図、ライティングのスタティックな印象のミスマッチが面白いです。
Sarah Pickering is Londoner photographer and introduced work “Explosion” is shooting the moment of something exploding and burning out. From related articles, she seems to accompany with army and police on exercises and taking those photographs. Her other pictures, “Fire Scenes” I wonder how she shoot them. Mismatch between mood of emergencies and statics of compositions and lighting is quite interesting.
Shane Lavalette はボストンにあるTufts Universityの学生。写真もさることながら、Journalでまとめられている写真関連の記事も読み応えがあります。”Remain in Light”という写真出版物のエディターをやっていて、こういうふうに、作家スタイルのライティングではない、純粋に様々な紹介記事を書く技術をもったフォトグラファーを、ちらほらみかけるような気がします。時代なんですかね。
写真は涼しげだったので紹介しました。
Shane Lavelette is a student of Tufts University, Boston. Not only His photographs, but also the articles he wrote about photography as Journal, are both worth seeing, subscribing. He acts as a co-editor of publishing about fine art photography “Remain in Light”. Like him, I often see the photographer who can write readable introduction and arguments, not the artistic style. The new generation has come.
