HEX at Space Studios

I went to see the HEX exhibition as Space Studios the other day tis on till Jan the 4th
If you don't know about Hex/Hexstatic and you like video feedback or even just audio visual creativity in general then this is a good introduction.

here are some bad phone snaps

Sabrina Ratté at Bubble Byte

Sabrina Ratté
Activated Memory
31/12/11 - 29/01/12
30/12/2011 (7-11pm GMT)

"bubblebyte.org is pleased to present Activated Memory, a solo exhibition by Canadian artist Sabrina Ratté.

Activated Memory is a two video project based on animated photographs of different parks and buildings of Montreal. Through the use of video feedback, 3D animation and color manipulations, the pictures render a new kind of space, a virtual world where only fragments of "reality" subsist. The music accompaniment is composed by Roger Tellier-Craig.

In Activated Memory I, a video created for The Download section of rhizome.org, parks appear through a very minimalist form composed by trees and grass. It is a journey through the parks disposal and their interaction with light, almost creating a surreal experience while studying symmetric relationships between various elements like dunes, bridges, lost routes and nature. The park and its imaginary recall childhood visits and the way of looking at things, almost like a hologram of an idealised memory.

Activated Memory II, created exclusively for bubblebyte.org, uses buildings as the main subject of observation. As a counterpoint to parks, buildings are characterised by angular forms and opaque surfaces. Architecture is used as a point of departure to create instability. Buildings discompose their limits into the frame while the geometric original shapes and dimensions of the image loose control to create an entrance to a chaotic space where forms become liquid."

Collab With Lucy

Did some visuals with Lucy for Lucky PDF TV at BYOB London the other week. It was a really fast collaboration we did it all sending stuff back and forth on line. We both made short clips and then sent them to each other to manipulate further. I worked with hardware and she worked with software.

The results are pretty quick and messy but sometimes its nice to work fast!

Drop Out Video Arts

So here is something super that should happen more  

"Drop Out Video Arts (DOVA) is a newly-founded non-profit organization motivated toward the promotion of experimental video-art in Vancouver, Canada. Previously a tight-nit group of independent artists residing in the Downtown Eastside, DOVA decided to form a non-profit in late 2010 with a goal of bringing this highly collaborative art-form into larger, more publicly accessible venues."

VideoRing

here is a mega cool video ring featuring some of Dave Jones tech to keep everything in sync


"Video Ring by “The Art Guys” was commissioned by Continental Airlines.

The work consists of 80 color monitors with video playing on all screens, synchronized to create an 80 channel frame synchronizer programmed to play so that there is an offset of 3 frames per player.

This gives the installation motion with the images seeming to rotate around the ring at a fast and continuous rate. This has created a smooth continuous video for travelers to enjoy as they walk through the airport terminal."

Gebhard Sengmüller A Parallel Image

here is a piece of work by Gebhard Sengmüller the guy behind the mazing vinyl video and many more amazing projects detailed on his website (my favorite being, the use of 24 kodak carousel s-av 2050 to roughly simulate a 35mm film projector, INSANE!)

check out this beautiful image from his work A Parallel Image which like allot of his work deconstructs communication technologies by building mechanisms that never existed to illustrate how todays complex impregnable systems can be broken down and understood. video on his site

Elvira Hufschmid

Hi here is a cool piece from 2004 described on the artists website here

"interactive video sculpture 2004
moving closed-circuit installation
aluminium-construction, 14 monitors,
14 surveillance cameras,
size 7`1" x 11`5"

A rocking construction carries a corpus of 14 monitors to which 14 small colour cameras are attached. Each camera is recording a different section of the installation space and transferring the images directly to one of the monitors on the rocker. The rocking motion of the sculpture composed of monitors and cameras generates moving pictures from differing perspectives that represent the room and its content as a mobile three-dimensional body."

Jonathan Schipper Invisible sphere

Very impressive video sphere! from Jonathan Schipper here's what he says on his website.
"The sphere contains 215 monitors and 215 cameras. Each camera is opposite to the monitor it feeds. The sphere constantly recreates its surroundings on its monitors from every conceivable angle at all times. The sphere is reflection of media’s attempt to remain revealing as it grows in power and becomes increasingly omni present."

Video Delay Lines

most video delay lines are just passive filters that provide very short (usually nano seconds) delay times to correct signals between sources over long cables runs and other related problems. However there are other ways to achieve real video delays for video installations and the like. I have a Korg Entrancer which does 6 seconds of delay, some DVD recorders have functions that allow them to output a delayed signal and there are commercially available studio units used for broadcast delays on live TV. There is also this, while still expensive its small form factor could be an advantage for cramped installations or live stuff.

Snow by Paul Murnaghan

heres an nice approach to back projection by Paul Murnaghan using TV  'Snow' to great affect. In this installation from 2003 he has set up an immersive interactive environment where the viewer effects the video and audio static created by a broken television (by their bodies interfering with its reception)

Aram Bartholl's TV Filter

Here is a nice idea that turns a regular TV in to something much more ambient and unfamiliar. Aram Bartholl constructed a grid that stands off from the TV's surface and filter the light to give a large pixilation effect.
