Wut?

This is beyond belief. A Real head scratcher. The video shows simple oily droplets seemingly turning into lifeforms, so lifelike is their movement and shape. Read more

Westworld (TV)

Since this is a journal of sorts, adding this here for posterity, since Westworld was a show I enjoyed, particularly the first season, season 3 not so much.

Be sure to check out the whole think on the artists own website and stay tuned for a full review.

Chicago!

I’m always posting nostalgia inducing videos of nyc,
but Chicago has some amazing architecture, and
an amazing lake, that combo is hard to compete with.

Digital Performance

I’ve often thought about how to bring digital effects to a live performance. What are the characteristics of something being digital and how to translate those ideas to something in front of a live audience. I think this certainly shows some of the possibilities. Really nicely done in that regard.
