Visto che sembra essere scomparso dal luogo dove lo avevo linkato, ri-posto Steel Cathedrals, un breve film del 1985 di David Sylvian e Yasayuki Yamaguchi (e la voce di Jean Cocteau).

Le scene sono state girate in due giorni del Novembre 1984 vagando per zona industriale di Tokyo. La musica è stata aggiunta da Sylvian con l’apporto di altri musicisti. La formazione:
David Sylvian : keyboards, tapes, digital percussion
Steve Jansen : percussion
Ryuichi Sakamoto : piano, strings
Kenny Wheeler : flugelhorn
Robert Fripp : guitar, frippertronics
Holger Czukay : dictaphone
Masami Tsuchiya : guitar ‘abstruct’

Il video venne pubblicato su VHS in edizione limitata a 2000 copie e poi ristampato nel 1989. Anche la musica uscì dapprima solo su cassetta in un numero limitato di copie nel 1985, per approdare poco tempo dopo al CD, con qualche traccia in più.

Su You Tube lo si trova diviso in due parti.

White Box by Purform

Audio/Video performance for a tryptic of HD video screens and quadraphonic audio

White Box is a work based on a new way of generating A/V compositions in real time and is a new piece in a cycle that began in 2003 with Black Box. This cycle metaphorically transposes, into sound and images, concepts from systems theory related to black, white and grey boxes.

Visuals: Yan Breuleux
Music: Alain Thibault

Programmers: Jean-Sébastien Rousseau, Peter Dines.

Un metamorfico video di Candas Sisman. che ha realizzato sia il video che l’audio per il Plato College of Higher Education.

Avvertenza: usa parecchia banda; se va a scatti, fatelo partire, poi mettetelo in pausa e aspettate che la cache sia abbastanza carica.

A Short Animation Inspired by the Works of İlhan Koman

Plato Art Space is proud to present Candaş Şişman’s video dedicated to famous sculptor İlhan Koman produced for the exhibition İlhan Koman: Hulda Festival, a Journey into Art and Science opening on the 22nd September, 2010.
İlhan Koman’s unique design approach in his form studies also inspires contemporary art works. The video installation Flux by young artist Candaş Şişman can be defined as a digital animation which is inspired from the structural features of some of İlhan Koman’s works like Pi, 3D Moebius, Whirlpool and To Infinity… A red circle, which is colored in reference to the red radiators of Ogre, is traced in a morphological transformation which re-interprets the formal approach of Koman’s works. The continuous movement sometimes connotes the formal characteristics of Pi, 3D Moebius, Whirlpool and To Infinity…, as well as the original formal interpretations of the design principles of the works . In Flux, Koman’s design process in the making of the Pi series has been treated as the emerging of a sphere from a two-dimensional circle by the principle of increasing the surface; and that simple direction is re-interpreted in digital medium. Thanks to this, in the digital animation an entirely different form serial that does not resemble Pi yet remaining its design principle can be followed through the flow of a circle to the sphere. As a conscious attitude of the artist, this work is not designed in a direct visual analogy with Koman’s works. During the animation, none of the moments of the transforming form look like Pi or 3D Moebius, however the subjective reading of Koman’s approach can be observed.

With the integration of the sounds of various materials - which Koman used in his sculptures - Flux turns into an impressive spatial experience. Flux, also exemplifies that Koman’s work can be re-interpreted by the analysis and manipulation of form in the digital medium.

Kurokawa Ryoichi composes time based sculpture with digital generated materials and field recorded sources, and the minimal and the complexities coexist there. Kurokawa accepts sound and imagery as a unit not as separately, and constructs very exquisite and precise computer based works with the audiovisual language. That shortens mutual distance, the reciprocity and the synchronization of sound and visual composition. He also performed live-visual for musicians such as HUMAN AUDIO SPONGE(ex.YMO: Sketch Show + Ryuichi Sakamoto). In recent years, Kurokawa is invited to numerous noted international festivals and museums in Europe, US and Asia including TATE MODERN[UK], ARS ELECTRONICA[AT], transmediale[DE], Shanghai eARTS[CN], MUTEK[CA], and SONAR[ES] for concert and exhibition, and he continues to be an active presence on the international stage.

Bella l’idea delle gocce di inchiostro nell’acqua in questo lavoro di danio catanuto e trovo anche l’abbinamento con la musica discreto e raffinato.

L’autore:

Growth is a vision both of reality and life/growth/death. Ink drops in water are arborescences, inflorescences. Phantasmogorical images which any of us can interpret estetically on basis on one’s own uncounscious, revealing a sometimes dramatic or sometimes symbolic aestethic.
It represents the organicity and behaviour of every form of life that borns, growths and deads in its ambient, among other individuals. Some external umpredictable elements can generate, determinate and modify the course of events.
Music, here, is the scene’s sound, artificially organic, that describes and emotionally interprets the entire narrating form.
The soundscape elements represent three main aspects: the environment ambient (water), the forms’ organic developement (treated piano samples) and the presence of unpredictables and isolated events.
The whole formal aspect comes from the physics of ink drop’s expanding course.

Un altro video di Jon Weinel su cui, stavolta, abbiamo qualche informazione

This is my latest audio-visual work, a collage of different material created in Maya, Jitter, After Effects, Flash etc. It Uses hand-drawn animation as source material. The basic concept is to explore the idea of entoptic phenomena (spiral dot patterns experienced in altered states of consciousness), through the audio visual medium.

Un light show proiettato sull’Orologio Astronomico di Praga per celebrare il suo 600° compleanno. La trovo molto bella, sia dal punto di vista video che da quello del rapporto con il suono.

Da quel che ne so sono stati utilizzati due proiettori Christie Roadster 18k HD da 18000 lumen.

A light show projected onto the Astronomical Clock Tower in Praga to celebrate its 600th birthday.
