Planet One

More at http://www.andymartin.info & http://www.twitter.com/handymartian

The inhabitants of Planet One get more than they bargained for when they get together for a little sing song.

This is the first animation from my ongoing illustration project ‘Handymartian’s Illustrated Aliens’. You can follow the progress of this project at http://illustratedaliens.tumblr.com/ where I am uploading a new alien illustration every day, building up to a monthly illustration of their planet. This planet was created during January 2013.

LightSpin = Bullet-time + Stop-motion + Light-painting

http://ericpare.com – http://timecodelab.com

*** New Documentary film about the project: http://lightspin.ericpare.com/documentary ***

LightSpin is an experimental photography and art project that finds its source in a unique lightpainting technique. For this project, ten performers improvised contemporary dance movements at the center of a ring on which 24 cameras were mounted. Their brief dances were carried out in pitch darkness, light being aimed at the subjects as to reveal their shapes and movements, thus capturing their passage in a defined space. Pushing the exploration even further, the final result of this project becomes a fully animated, 360-degree representation of movements! Viewed and shared on the Web, the LightSpin project is launched as a world premiere in honor of the International Dance Day.

A supercell near Booker, Texas

Find more of my work here: http://www.mikeolbinski.com

It took four years but I finally got it.

A rotating supercell. And not just a rotating supercell, but one with insane structure and amazing movement.

I’ve been visiting the Central Plains since 2010. Usually it’s just for a day, or three, or two…but it took until the fourth attempt to actually find what I’d been looking for. And boy did we find it.

No, there was no tornado. But that’s not really what I was after. I’m from Arizona. We don’t get structure like this. Clouds that rotate and look like alien spacecraft hanging over the Earth.

We chased this storm from the wrong side (north) and it took us going through hail and torrential rains to burst through on the south side. And when we did…this monster cloud was hanging over Texas and rotating like something out of Close Encounters.

The timelapse was shot on a Canon 5D Mark II with a Rokinon 14mm 2.8 lens. It’s broken up into four parts. The first section ends because it started pouring on us. We should have been further south when we started filming but you never know how long these things will last, so I started the timelapse as soon as I could.

One thing to note early on in the first part is the way the rain is coming down on the right and actually being sucked back into the rotation. Amazing.

A few miles south is where part two picks up. And I didn’t realize how fast it was moving south, so part three is just me panning the camera to the left. During that third part you can see dust along the cornfield being pulled into the storm as well…part of the strong inflow.

The final part is when the storm had started dying out and we shot lightning as it passed over us.

Between the third and fourth portions we drove through Booker, Texas where tornado sirens were going off…it was creepy as all heck. And intense.

I hope you enjoy this. Once thing I’ve learned about timelapsing is that I always wish it would be longer or wouldn’t end. I wish I had been south and been able to record this storm come at me for 45 minutes.

But I love it the way it is. I wasn’t ever certain I’d see structure like this even though it’s been such a goal of mine. But we did it.

And by we, I mean myself and my buddy Andy Hoeland, who knows his crap and got us into position so we could chase this storm. Without him along I don’t know if I get this timelapse.

“Acrobatic virtuosity combined with poetic design” City Mouse Magazine, Israel

Beckett meets Heath Robinson meets The Wombles meets The Road… A gently comic dystopia, set in different time where everything has a new value, and survival relies on sharp eyes, quick hands, and, above all, friendship. Join these traveller-gatherers on the road to nowhere: treading lightly, enduring quietly, and always, always moving onwards.

An acrobatic performance which unfolds inside and around a rolling house. Original design, choreographed acrobatics, and breath taking moments of risk, all housed within a hand-built structure. A moving piece of visual theatre from Acrojou.

Acrojou produce stunningly designed circus, street theatre, and promenade shows, blending genres to create eloquent and breath-taking physical performance.

WILLIAM GIBSON: THE ORIGIN OF ‘CYBERSPACE’ LIVE SHORT 4.19.13

William Gibson is the author of ten books, including, most recently, the New York Times-bestselling trilogy Zero History, Spook Country and Pattern Recognition. Gibson’s 1984 debut novel, Neuromancer, was the first novel to win the three top science fiction prizes—the Hugo Award, the Nebula Award, and the Philip K. Dick Memorial Award. Gibson is credited with coining the term “cyberspace” in his short story “Burning Chrome,” and with popularizing the concept of the Internet while it was still largely unknown. He is also a co-author of the novel The Difference Engine, written with Bruce Sterling.

NeoLucida (Long Edit)

(Note, this is not the Kickstarter video, which is about 1 minute shorter.)

We have designed the NeoLucida: the first portable camera lucida to be manufactured in nearly a century — and the lowest-cost commercial camera lucida ever designed. We want to make this remarkable device widely available to students, artists, architects, and anyone who loves to draw from life. But to be clear: our NeoLucida is not (just) a product, but a provocation. In manufacturing a camera lucida for the 21st century, our primary aim is to stimulate interest in media archaeology—the tightly interconnected history of visual culture and imaging technologies.
