Looking today for a lightweight audio manipulation tool, I came across I Am the Mighty Jungulator.
The crew is an a/v unit from the UK that specializes in generative visuals. They even have a generative video desktop tv station.
I haven’t tried the apps yet, but off the top it looks great.

From the always interesting Stung Eye I found this collection of slow motion video culled from YouTube.
It involves a lot of things getting shot.
I guess, when you have a high speed camera and a bunch of fruit, the natural impulse is to discharge firearms at produce. Occasionally, if you’re very motivated, you might move on to slapping someone, but it can be hard to find volunteers.

JOVE - the Journal of Visualized Experiments - has a small but growing collection of scientific experiments, the process of which has been captured on video for instructional purposes.
There’s some interesting stuff, including this video of the dissectionof a larval Central Nervous System.
3d video display tank

Display technology is doing crazier and crazier things all the time. I remember not too long ago when immersive display was a big deal.
Now a team of Danish engineers and designers have built 3d imaging tank where the image of your choice can float suspended in a tank up to 30m.
Cheoptics360:
The Cheoptics360 can display both computer and film content when used either indoors or out and scale from 1.5-meters on up to 30-meters. The video images generated by the four projectors are re-assembled within the prism-like pyramid through a process of mirroring and reflection making them appear to float in mid-air.
There is a video:

Kraftwerk off the top and another version (slightly less germanic) after the jump.
George: Who are you then?
User: Who am I when?
George: He is a moviestar and he’s home right now.
User: That’s a cryptic utterance.
George: Well, I live in a crypt.
User: That sounds damp.
George: Divine knowledge is sometimes dangerous.
User: Under what circumstances is diving knowledge dangerous?
George: Under no circumstances.
User: You have a curious affinity for paradox.
George: I know thank you yours is not so bad either.
Open/Inputs

Just back from the night’s show at open/inputs at the Soma cafe on Main St. I played with Michael Red (organizer and penguin enthusiast) and noise duo MARK BRADY + EMMA HENDRIX. Emma made noise, Mark chopped it up.
I had a lot of fun - my material was all audio-responsive 3d with particle generators. A selection of still photographs I’d taken provided background colourfields. I had no idea what to expect musically but it worked out well.

Last night, at the Parade of Lost Souls, Eightprime Arts had its public debut.
The show could not have pssibly gone better - thanks to Mercedes and all the crew for making it happen.
I got to sling light at a huge highschool wall for hours - the images were visible for blocks and I met some excellent people.
There are a couple of short videos linked from the images below. (video is quicktime format).

Why are the armed robots there? Because North Korea has an idea. And what is this idea?
Why is it so important?
What could possibly be going on?

I will be mixing a 1 hour video set at the Soma Cafe on November 03.
The set will be part of the monthly open/inputs series, which I think is great.
More information to come as I get it - others will be playing, but I don’t know who they are. (I like the elements of randomness and mystery).

I don’t know anything about the province of this video other than what it says on the screen but hot damn is it ever the goods.
