so they kicked us off
but not before
i got an entire car of the circle line singing
“the final countdown”

Hi there pixelistas and pixelisimos, in order to make my videos more accessible I’ve created a channel on Blip.tv: http://pixelpusher.blip.tv/
Why Blip.tv, and not Youtube or Vimeo? (I have accounts on both of those, actually). Blip.tv has a better license for content, which allows me to use Creative Commons to distribute my (and others’) work, as well as better tools for sharing videos. Plus, I like the way it looks.In the future I’ll post videos there and link to them from the blog (this site). That way you get the best of both worlds - easy-to-watch video and my witty rapport.

A few years ago, my alter-ego did some work on this film while he was a semi-starving graduate student living in NYC. Paul H-O took me under his wing and showed me a world of art Tribeca lofts, Manhattan Special soda, art celebrities, how to sit and shoot the shit about art and sound like I knew what I was talking about, and most importantly, how to get properly thrown out of a gallery. We did some websites, blogs, test animations, and talked art, abused interns, and it was a generally a good time.
Now the result of all that, culminating in a few years of monk-like dedication by Paul and Tom Donahue, has produced a feature film for the Sundance Channel, currently screening at the Tribeca Film Festival. Rising to the occasion, Paul has an interview out on Salon.com.
Personally, I haven’t seen the (finished) film but what I’d seen before was compelling stuff. Certainly worth a look if you’re in New York City, and hopefully we’ll see it on Sundance soon enough.

I’ve been playing with the offsetcircles patch from before, and came up with a whole bunch of nice results. Taking a page from Claude, I made the drawing recursive (hmm… makes me want to use Scheme…) and rendered out these two short videos. These are fun experiments in basic, rotary motion. Its really amazing what fun you can have with simple math, rotations, and some blending.
There’s also this one.
Here’s the actual sketch plus code (the last version, anyway):

Yaxu (Alex McLean of http://lurk.org) captured this great shot from Area 10 Medialab launch gig this weekend. I have a nice hi-res video of the event, plus some of the other performances, which I’ll upload soon. I also have some great audio and video (audio straight from the soundboard, really clean and clear as a mountain spring) from the last Immersion that I’ve been meaning to post. My computer had a Quicktime meltdown, but is back in fine working shape again and ready to spend hours rendering quality video once more.
UPDATE: Oli (yesyesnono.com) has some more photos
Some video and more can be found here
