Immersive Imaging using Video Mapping

2011-12-02T14:59:00.001Z

Check out this guy's room totally change into the movie he is watching!

Greatfilmsfillrooms.com was funded by Video Store of PlayStation® to make a series of movie related videos using 'Immersive Imaging' which takes 3D projection mapping as its starting point, but gives the viewer a supercharged experience with the help of the PlayStation Move controller.

In the past, projection mapping worked only from a single, static view point, and thus was very limited. By attaching the PlayStation Move to the camera, they now track projections to screens in real time, enhancing the effect of spatial deformation and false perspective on the projections and allowing viewers to look round (virtual) corners, bend walls, create a hole in the wall, or remove the walls altogether to reveal vast expanses of virtual worlds.

2011-03-27T17:43:00.004+01:00

Obscura Digital is at it again- wrapping the world's architectural modernist icons in unbelievable feats of moving imagery.
Last October Obscura produced the exterior and interior projections for YouTube’s first Biennial awards, using Derivative's TouchDesigner software to seamlessly wrap Frank Lloyd Wright's 1959 Guggenheim Museum in NYC and a some days later the Sydney Operahouse

2011-03-27T17:28:00.003+01:00

Alva Noto (Carsten Nicolai) at Ars Electronica 2010. Visual developed with Wuestenarchitekten (Markus Heckmann). The software uses audio inputs and delivers several forms of visualization. Each one of them can be zoomed in order to fill the entire screen. I prefer this kind of generative but colorful graphics rather than the noisy-analytic minimal stuff Alva Noto (and other Raster Norton artists) has been doing for the last two years.

3KTA presents Syndyn - Artistic Sports Game

2011-03-11T12:29:00.004Z

Syndyn is a collaborative project from 3KTA - André Rangel and Anne-Kathrine Siegel.

This new Syndyn project joins sports and arts, using light, programming and video to present a unique sports experience. Developed with Max and Fantastick for the iPod.

While pacticing a vigorous physical activity, the players control all audiovisual events that occur in the space/time of the game. They perform a live show and simultaneously produce a database of light drawn images.

The space where the event takes place is colored with light which is controlled by players movements. Their rackets and arms are decorated with electro luminescent wire and the shuttlecock (speeder) with a bright LED, providing vivid dynamic scenic effects.

In the beginning of each game, users choose on an iPod ™ touch device a soundscape associated with visuals and colors for the ambience lighting system. Syndyn rackets are equipped with sensors that detect each hit of the speeder. A radio transmitter system broadcasts the sensors data to the central processing unit (computer). The hits on the rackets are accompanied by synchronous real-time synthesized sounds, by an instant change in the ambience light color according to the previous players choices and by real time generated visuals.

In addition to this real-time audiovisual response, players can also take a visual memory of their game. A long exposure photographic camera covers the playing area. This camera registers the traces that represent the trajectories and movements of the lighting speeder, the lighting racquets and the lighting arms. The resulting drawings of light, can be automatically printed with photographic quality paper and offer to players. These images are automatically stored in a database that feeds a web photo gallery.

Literally the possibility of Lightdrawing with this game, gives Syndyn its original and innovative character: being simultaneously an artistic, sports, and entertainment event that merges aesthetics, physical activity, technology and entertainment.

Lisbon - Portuguese Republic Centennial

2010-11-04T11:54:00.006Z

Praça do Comércio, downtown Lisboa, was used as a live canvas for a giant video-mapping projection on the ministry buildings by the occasion of the Portuguese Republic Centennial.

This project was produced by ADLC Audiovisuais and Iniziomedia (with some 3D mapping from Omar Fernandes) with soundesign by Índigo. This was the first time in Lisbon that something this big was done, and hopefully many more will come..

What I don't understand is why I can't fin any official video with good quality on the web. Did they forget to record it?

Espaço ContraFacção - the opening

2010-11-02T22:44:00.004Z

The opening party lasted for two days, with lots of performances and 20m concerts from different percussion groups. A great occasion to meet some friends from Porto, that came specifically to perform in this new creative warehouse. And what a great place. Here are some picks.

2 new warehouses dedicated to arts and performance

2010-10-27T14:36:00.009+01:00

Next weekend (29th and 30th) Pinhal Novo (20m from Lisboa) will host the new headquarters of PIA-Projectos de Intervenção Artística and Bardoada-Grupo de Percussão do Sarrafo. This place will also function as a meeting point between performance, art, dance, music, videoart and installation, hopefully bringing out new fresh projects to the market.

For this opening, a number of friends from PIA will be performing through the weekend.
I will be presenting on Saturday a new collaborative project - a 20m performance video that I recovered from my personal files (a video footage I recorded with Rita Meneses some months ago in an abandoned warehouse) with soundscape from Álvaro Presumido. After that, VJing as usual with local DJ Magau.
Open doors and free entrance. Check out the whole program, as there will be lots of good and new stuff to see/hear.

The weekend after, on the 7th November, Armazém 13 will then open it's doors. Located in Lisboa (Benfica), I can tell you this place could easily be the next LX Factory. It's a big warehouse, ideal for the purpose - to host a bunch of crazy acrobatic circus performers. Associação ADN-Artistic Develoment Nucleus (contemporary circus), Armazém Aério (circus and dance) and Fly in Motion (pro rigging). To be used as their natural training ground, Armazém 13 will also promote workshops and courses on aerial and floor acrobatics, for start.

AC/DC vs Iron Man 2

2010-10-25T13:16:00.001+01:00

On the site of a thousand years of violent history, ACDC were pitted against Iron Man in a ground breaking architectural projection mapping project. The front facade of the Great Keep at Rochester Castle, was brought to life using the latest in 3D animation techniques. This onslaught of the senses, saw the castle confront it's ultimate challenge. Warping, morphing, spewing and collapsing before the audiences eyes. Another Seeper Project and let there be rock!

Enesse's Bangkok Projection

2010-10-08T13:23:00.004+01:00

Another cool example of giant building projection, with great video-mapping and interactive movement reaction. This took place every night, for three months, in the King Power Complex, in Bangkok, Thailand. Done by the australian Eness crew.

Red Bull Off The Planet - snow projection

2010-10-08T11:56:00.003+01:00

Red Bull invited the Australian visual collective Eness to do a night projection on snow and on a giant inflatable ball, creating an animated environment for shooting some ski and snowboard pros. Using 3D animation and video-mapping on snow, the result is very cool.

Ciência na Rua 2010 - Videomorphose's "Colisão Visual"

2010-09-20T00:04:00.010+01:00

"Colisão Visual" was the name of our 22m performance, focusing on the theme "Ways of Seeing".
For this first ever presentation, I invited to join the project Bruno Coelho (vj Artvib) and the Atomic Tour Project (pmg-keyboards, groovernador-laptop, juliogil-bass, vocals).

I really wanted to do this show with live music, taking advantage of the intimate atmosphere of this unique place. We played together for one week in Lisboa and threw ourselves to the adventure.

In the end, as I expected, the sound design worked perfectly in the space and with the mood of the images and it's presentation rhythm.

We worked with two mac powerbooks, 3 dvd's, 2 V-4 mixing tables and 12-input video matrix with 4x6.500L and 4x2.500L beamers being projected inside the 250 sqm convents cloister.

I designed the layout initially to have the 4 big projectors at the center, mounted on a truss structure, and the 4 smallers beamers to work as light design on the corridors.

But the night before we decided to just throw the smaller ones against the buildings and use them as a stereoscopic background. It worked just fine, I guess.

We are currently gathering data to edit a movie of the whole show, using the multi-cameras footage.
Of course many details need to be sharpened, but we are happy with the result.

Video-mapping is the next level, but next time we definitely need to have the whole material tuned up two or three days before, so that we have the time to do the whole mapping works.

Ciência na Rua 2010 - Victor Gama "In Extremis Sonus"

2010-09-19T23:48:00.006+01:00

The 4th performance of the day was "In Extremis Sonus", by Victor Gama (w/videomorphose).
One more time, what a great privilege to perform with Victor Gama and his amazing instruments!

Focusing on the theme "to listen and to make hear", my videos were reacting live to his audio and being projected with 3 beamers to the 400 year old façade of the Convento das Maltezas.

Starting in a calm and minimal way, the 20m performance grew gently into a mix of colors and forms, all responding to sound spectrum analysis. I also used small video-mapping appointments on the 4 windows at the background

Victor's performance began on the left side with the Acrux, then in the middle stage the Toha and ended on the right side with the Dino. As he jumped from one instrument to the other, he added the instrument samples in order to end with a major rhythmic structure. The sounds are unique, when you have the chance please go and listen.
At the end of the shows Victor always lets people touch and try out the instruments.

Ciência Na Rua 2010 - the event

2010-09-19T01:06:00.018+01:00

Science and Art meet together to create some of the great moments of earth's Evolution of the Species Theory.
Math, Physics, Chemistry, Geology and Biology vs Street Theatre, Music&Video, Circus, Performance and Fire.

An event organized by Évora University and other state entities and with the artistic coordination by PIA. Besides all performances, small tents spread allover with live experiments. They had a whole bunch of young scientists teaching kids, it was great!

Desperate Man opened the sequence of 7 performances in Estremoz, that ran from 5pm to 00h.
This humorous duo presented Darwin & Dodo in a very informal talk in the middle of the street.
Briefly, they introduced the whole Theory of Evolution in a very funny way, being Dodo the symbol of human ignorance. Children just loved them.

Boom Festival 2010

2010-09-18T23:03:00.015+01:00

This year's edition of Boom was an amazing experience. Not only because of the new incredible location, with a beautiful waterline sunset, but also because the week-long stay was overwhelmed with global love, creative artwork, enriching music and state-of-the-art performances, exhibitions, workshops and talks.

Like to stress out the outstanding work of the Boom team in keeping the festival's environment clean and in promoting a better and better sustainable production each edition.

I had the privilege to do the visuals for the full-moon concert at the Sacred Fire stage.
This special night we had a packed audience to listen to the first ever gathering of live Tribal Trance, with major names like Ganga Giri, Hilight Tribe, Wild Marmelade, Tribal Dance and Olive Tree. Unique!

Boom, we are one!
Looking forward to 2012

BLU strikes back...in Lisbon

2010-05-27T14:39:00.007+01:00

My favorite urban art artist BLU is right here in Lisbon.
Passing by Alameda Fontes Pereira de Mello, downtow, I noticed his traditional graphic fingerprint on one of three side-by-side empty buildings.
Who brought them, what are they up to? To be followed...

You can see some older posts of their work here and here.

More news update: it is a cooperative work between Blu (it), Os Gémeos (br) and Sam3 (es).
This is part of the CRONO project promoted by ACA-Azáfama Citadina Associação, which aims to bring to life old empty building in Lisboa. The CRONO project wants to establish a Urban Art Guide, inviting 4 times a year international artists to come and develop joint projects with portuguese artists.

Lisbon's traffic condensed in one 24h video. This great data visualization was made by Pedro Cruz, who has some very interesting stuff on his website. The arteries are colored in a away capable to represent average traffic speeds (the greenish and cooler represents high traffic velocity, and the reddish and hotter, corresponds to sluggish traffic). There is a visual emphasis on areas where the traffic is predominantly slow.

D-Fuse collaborated with film maker Sakti Parantean, designer Adi Panuntun and photographer Feri Latief, in the spectacular makeover of the Old City’s most important heritage site.

The Video-Mapping projection traces the history of the area from ancient swamp, through colonial and revolutionary times, to imagining its future as Jakarta's new creative playground.
Great music and sound design by Static.

...e assim termina a minha colaboração!

2009-11-10T01:07:00.002Z

Caros amigos e amigas

Como sabem, tenho estado envolvido na decoração, promoção e dinamização do novo espaço "Flying House Lisboa" desde há cerca de 5 meses.

Foi há pouco mais de um mês que finalmente a "Casa Voadora" levantou vôo, e desde então as festas têm-se sucedido, atraindo cada vez mais gente e recolhendo cada mais adeptos de um espaço que é, realmente, diferente no contexto lisboeta.

Sabendo que o projecto já está em (boa) marcha, e que daqui para a frente será apenas uma questão de continuar o esforço até agora feito, venho comunicar a todos que deixei a equipa de organização, passando todos os assuntos a ser tratados directamente com o Bruno Vaz e com o Pedro Burguete.

Para além dos novos projectos que irei fazer, continuarei sempre ligado ao espaço enquanto VJ, sendo que as festas mensais de lua-cheia "Flying to the Moon" contarão sempre com a minha participação, assim como outros eventos pontuais a anunciar.

Queria agradecer a todos o entusiasmo que têm demonstrado nas minhas iniciativas e também aos vários artistas amigos que já intervieram no espaço com a sua criatividade.

Festas de aniversário, estadias para amigos estrangeiros no Hostel, jantares e afins, a Flying House tem! Continuem a aparecer e a promover o espaço. Intervenham. Chamem amigos e apresentem ideias.

Um grande abraço/bjo
Luis Cardoso

Respect your VJ

2009-11-06T14:09:00.006Z

WHAT IS A VJ?

Also known as visualist, projectionist, live mix video artist...not your videographer, not your filmmaker, we are perfomers mixing our video artworks LIVE to the music all around, with our fingers on our gear, and our eyes on the crowd, projections, and screens......our performances unfold as the evening unfolds....
~* RESPECT YOUR VJ *~

So you want to work with a VJ?
Curators, promoters, musicians, artistic collaborators, producers, curious minds ---- here are a few simple things to keep in mind to keep that special VJ happy.....it all comes down to
CREDIT, PAYMENT & TECH

------------------------------

1) GIVE CREDIT CREDIT CREDIT

VJs are perfomers, just like a DJ, a band, a singer, a dancer etc. They make the show happen. GIVE CREDIT!

Before event:
* Include your VJ on all email listings, flyers, websites, RSS feeds etc as you would any other artist in your event. Do not skimp on this credit---VJs are working your event, and doing lots of prep work in advance and deserve these props.
* Book your VJ before you get everything out to the press. If its too late, a second blast of emails etc with your VJ listed is helpful.
* Don't know where to put your VJ on a flyer? List them with your DJs, or where a DJ may go.
* Ask your VJ how they want to be listed. Depending on the gig, some VJs prefer alternate titles instead of “VJ”.
* If you are a band, make sure to let everyone know you've got a VJ on your side! Consider them a fellow band member!
* Notify any press of VJ presence at the event so they can photograph and cover accordingly.
* This shouldn't even be here, but introduce artists to each other! Let them know they are all working together to make the night/show happen. Sometimes artists don't even know they are working with live visuals. The more everyone knows the better and this could lead to amazing collaborations.
* Ask for bios, samples, stills, websites etc if compiling artist/show information.

During event:
* Show some love! Give your VJ the option to play onstage. This will help your audience realize they aren’t experiencing pre-recorded visual artwork.
* Don't be shy to give a shout out your VJ! Treat your VJ as you would your DJ---your VJ will often mix video live the whole nite.
* Provide drinks, comps, etc.
* If this applies, provide backstage/stamps etc for full access for your VJ, You don't want them getting stuck with lame security issues in the middle of your event! SHOW SOME LOVE!!!
* If any press, make sure they are aware your VJ is a part of YOUR event, not separate tech crew as is often misunderstood. This will allow their work, and your event, to get that extra special documentation.

After the event:
* Pay your VJ day of event, if not in advance.
* Include/mention your VJ in any documentation of the event, for example, on your website! Don't forget, a VJ at an event is something to celebrate, you know that cuz you asked them to do the gig. Pass the word around, you know those visuals looked amazing.

2) PAYMENT
* Be clear and up front about your collaboration. If this is a paying or non-paying gig, make sure everyone knows. Don't be surprised if your VJ asks you up front, even if they are your friend.
* Be clear about how long you are asking your VJ to play-whether it is one set with a band, visuals for all bands, visuals for a whole party, or half the party, for the runway show, or in between sets.... Make sure you are both on the same page! This will make payment easier to figure out.
* Depending on your event, proper pay for a VJ can go anywhere from 150 € to 5.000 € per event. Of course, this depends on what kind of work you will be asking your VJ to do. Take a look at the first note in Tech Specs. Be prepared to discuss.
* For low and no budgets-- treat a VJ like any other performer--- a few bucks, a couple drinks/tickets, guest comps, a ride home..... etc, are ways to keep your VJ happy. This often applies to musicians and bands working with a VJ, treat them like one of your band.
Again, GIVE SOME LOVE!

3) TECH SPECS!
* There are huge differences between a "plug-and-play" gig, a full video installation, and a specialized content gig.
* A plug and play is when your VJ plugs their gear into an existing video system, often the case in a club, or gallery.
* A full video installation requires your VJ to install video projectors, screens, scrim, inflatables etc, then set up their equipment to mix. This is often the case at outdoor events, warehouse parties, converted spaces etc.
* A specialized content gig requires your VJ to make specific visuals for your event, as is often the case in a corporate gig, or personal event like a wedding or birthday. Lots of gigs are combinations of the above. Make sure to clear these differences up with your VJ in advance and be clear on what you are asking of them. They will be able to give you the proper timeline and cost for what you are asking them to do.
* Again, whether the gig is a plug and play, or needs installation or equipment rentals etc, go over this with your VJ beforehand. Think of it this way, you wouldn't ask a band to come play before making sure they know there is no sound system at the venue....
* Discuss who will provide and install screens, cables, projectors, fabric etc. Don't worry about all the technical details, your VJ will guide you. Talk over the entire scope of your idea with your VJ to see if there are issues that need to be addressed before the day of the event.
* Lighting influences projections.
* Have your lighting designer and VJ work out an environmental scheme that allows for their work to support each other.
* Keep in mind that the presence of smoke, lights on the screens, equipment blocking the view, daylight etc can destroy a VJ performance and should be addressed in advance.
* If it calls for one, arrange a site visit together to discuss all design needs before event. It may be helpful to invite the lighting designer and technician/engineer to this visit as well.

Other notes:
* VJs need a safe place for their gear, keep in mind that they will most likely need a sturdy table/surface where they can see at least one of their projections from.
* VJs need power, an outlet, a generator if it is outside. The point is, talk with your VJ and the visuals will follow!

A SPECIAL NOTE FOR VJs
VJs: Get your shit together. Respect is a two-way street. Only expect it if you can properly prepare for and deliver quality performances. Know your collaborators and their work, know your venue, test your gear in advance. Ask questions, figure it out, fess up if you mess up. Most of all, love your craft: create amazing visuals & the respect will follow. Thank you for reading this and supporting the art of VJs!

Fassade Projection with Mapping and Warping, by Telenoika

2009-10-13T13:53:00.004+01:00

Created by Telenoika, this performance is a tour de force of established projection mapping techniques and styles: Virtual lighting, 3D augmentation and distortion, edge highlighting and surface painting.

Mixed with lovely sound design, they’ve also added some nice new touches: The “light bulb generation” at 4:12 is lovely, as is the subsequent thunderstorm and electrocution of the building.

What this piece really does is establish a narrative. We’ve got our basic projection mapping building blocks now. Clever people will think of new, cool stuff to do, but while that’s going on, it’s time to start using these techniques to really tell some stories. Not just about things happening to the building or space, but inside it.

Another exciting development is that the “warping and video player software” was developed in OpenFrameworks [on CDMo] by Eloi, and he will be sharing it soon. In the meantime, you can check out some of his other development on the Playmodes Blog.

Check out the whole 20m performance:

A must-go happening in Cáceres (SP)

2009-09-22T13:18:00.002+01:00

The kind of event I really like: giant projections and a unique event that moves a whole village. Cáceres is a beautiful spanish UNESCO heritage location near the portuguese border.

And they just did what I tried to do in Lisbon 5 years ago with no success (what is a vj and what are giant projections for??, I heard!).

"Escenógrafos, artistas de video, pintores, video disjokeys, diseñadores, actores, músicos, Djs, animadores gráficos, iluminadores, arquitectos y programadores explorarán nuevas formas de comunicación entre obra y público. Video instalaciones,happenings, proyecciones a gran escala, pantallas, diseños LED y la iluminación de edificaciones emblemáticas desde el paseo de Cánovas hasta el corazon del Casco Antiguo transformarán Cáceres en un espectacular laboratorio multimedia..."

CAILLOU (RUCA) REMIX

2009-07-03T00:50:00.007+01:00

Maria, 3, was eager to see the video beamers working in the new place.
So the three of us decided to offer her an exclusive screening of Caillou (she knows every speech of the video), as PP layed down some very soft and cool sound.
Suddently, under deep dj beat, Ruca's image began filling with stripes and coloured circles...

Arraial Chill :-)

2009-06-21T18:50:00.005+01:00

Last saturday Filipe Nabais welcomed DJ Bruno (photo) and I to go do some video and chill-out music.

We were invited to have dinner at their small arraial corner near Praça da Alegria. It was fuckin'hot, the city was silent and you just cold smell the grilled sardines...

It was perfect for a cold beer. The sardines salad was just great. Thanks Filipe, Joana and Mariana :-)

Summer On the Rocks party

2009-06-21T18:35:00.003+01:00

With an incredible 34ºC at night, the Summer On the Rocks party packed the Cidadela fortress in Cascais with more than 5.000 people.

The disco welcomed 4Connection, a new project with four old-time DJs that are now re-mixing 80's hits with house rhythm.
An explosive mixture and what a great sound! Then came Álvaro "Electricista", who pumped the night until 4h, that's when the police arrived and closed the party. Everybody was so excited, the party could have continued until 8, but hey...
Met a lot old friends and sang all the old musics like crazy!

Flying House - a new space in Lisbon

2009-06-18T10:45:00.004+01:00

It began several years ago with a private club near the airport of Lisbon. It was a 600m2 basement of a building and it only opened its doors few times each year for big, memorable, private parties.

In the meantime the whole building got empty and we found ourselves with a 600m2 disco + 800m2 empty garage + 800m2 x 3 stores + fabulous terrace with overview to the landing lane of the airport and the Tejo river.
So we simply got to work and slowly began transforming one floor into a private hostel for friends, foreign musicians and surfers that want to have a short stay in Lisbon (opens soon!), a small mercadillo and a big chill-out room for small performances.
The disco is ready to pump as any major event comes along and now we are starting to focus on the terrace. So, our aim is to open a special place in Lisbon, aimed at artists, musicians and urban-art dwellers, providing a unique playground for experimentation and knowledge exchange.

Newer posts will follow, stay tuned!
Soon we will launch a simple website with all the basic info.

PS - We are trying to put up an open-door day somewhere in July, just for friends and potentially interested people in the concept, willing to participate with their art and knowledge to make this a unique place...
Send an e-mail to info@videomorphose.com if you wish to collaborate.

New recording Hardware for VJs

2009-06-08T11:39:00.013+01:00

Recording your live performance is always a stress. Either you plug in an output from your Edirol-V4 directly to a video Camera and then convert the video into any digital file, or you do it directly through a Canopus, but not on HD. VJing is now seriously getting into HD, and for that matter we need more accurate equipment. Here are some of the news in the market:

VERY PORTABLE RECORDER!

Now you can capture analog video from VHS, Video-8, video cameras and more, direct to the H.264 file format as used by iPod™, iPhone™, Apple TV™ and YouTube™. Blackmagic Video Recorder plugs directly into your computer’s USB and includes easy to use software. Get the highest quality video capture from any component video or regular video device. Blackmagic Video Recorder eliminates time consuming processing because it captures into the native file format of your mobile device. Only 149 USD!

NEW EDIROL HARDWARES

The new Edirol VC-50HD provides bi-directional conversion between SD/HD-SDI to and from DV and HDV and MPEG-2. That means you can capture video easily in HD or HDV, backup videos, archive live performances, record to Blu-ray – whatever.

Edirol has also launched another recorder, the F-1. Is is the ideal addition for any videographer or producer wanting to accelerate their workflow by capturing HDV or DV directly to a hard drive in the field.

AJA IO-EXPRESS

The AJA IO-Express has HDMI in/out, component and HD-SDI, and component input. No composite or S-Video here, and allows your laptop to ingest the following formats from a laptop (DVCPRO HD, DV25/DV50, SD Uncompressed, Apple ProRes 422 and SD and limited HD).
AJa’s earlier IO boxes all support standard QuickTime Capture Components, which means that any software that uses QuickTime Capture should have no problem seeing and bringing in video. In other words, these are not meant just for Final Cut Pro. VDMX, Resolume, Jitter, Quartz Composer, etc. should all be able to use the Io-Express. The Io-Express is expected to retail for about 1.000 USD.

THE NEW MATROX MXO2-MINI

It is a similar product, but may be closer to what visualists seek. It has HDMI, Component, Composite and S-Video (Y/c) inputs, and supposedly supports true uncompressed 1080 (they do not specify interlaced or progressive in their spec sheet). This means the Mini is really V4 friendly, and will work with your legacy analog standard-def video gear.

Matrox also states the MXO2-Mini supports standard QuickTime components, meaning all your standard QuickTime-friendly VJ applications ought to be able to capture from the Mini. Matrox does state that the Mini supports 10-bit HDMI capture, which hints at HDMI 1.3 support. That in theory means RGB capture from DVI. The MXO2-Mini is a much more VJ-friendly 450 USD.

My tribute to Oskar Fischinger

2009-03-24T22:24:00.003Z

To those who don't know his work, perheaps the animation of top early Walt Disney's classic movie "Fantasia" (1940) can reveal a bit of his genious work.

With very little published movies on the market, I first came across Fischinger's work on a website with excerts of old animated movies. I was dazzled with his ability to do motion graphics in perfect harmony with music. Isn't this what a VJ is all about? Yeah, but this guy did it in the eraly 40s. Crazy...

In the meantime, I found on the Modern Tate library a DVD edition with most of his career highlights, and it is brilliant. On the contrary to many other artists of that early movie years, Oskar Fischinger was largely admired by Hollywood stars and producers.

This video is a short and humble tribute to his work, with soundtrack by Daedelus.

I just love the work of these guys. Everytime they come up, they present us with something bigger and funnier. After the amazing MUTO video they did in Argentina, their work exploded all over.
After all, empty walls to paint can be found everywhere. This time they went to Berlin. Take a time to watch all of their videos at youtube...

Construction 76, by Lia

2008-11-20T00:28:00.004Z

Lia is an austrian visual artist exploring generative art since the early 90s.

Vienna was a hotbed of experimentation. A large group of artists pushed the boundaries of abstraction in visual art as well as music, often experimenting with code-based tools. It should be noted that the term “generative art” was not in use at the time. Nevertheless, the work produced at the time clearly articulated generative and procedural approaches to sound and image synthesis, prefiguring the current interest in such work. (read full article).

Here's a recent posted video :-)

Marta Hugon presents...

2008-11-14T10:23:00.006Z

"Crash into me", the latest videoclip from jazz-singer Marta Hugon, a dear friend of mine.
Not the usual visual stuff I normally post, but the music is worth while and I really like the blurry cleanness of the video...
