I have great respect for simplicity. I admire this video for its use of just one feature of film editing to give us something to follow and anticipate the whole way through.

How A Face Changes With Light
12 JanSometimes when you’re watching a person’s face during a psychedelic experience it can become incredibly beautiful or ugly, or weird, or majestic, changing it’s form subtly yet so powerfully almost without notice.
This amazing video made gave me a similar feeling, by showing how a person’s facial features can change dramatically just by changing the light which it reflects. So cool.

Alice in Wonderland (1903)
11 JanThis is a restoration of the 1903 Alice in Wonderland movie that was unearthed just a few years ago. The restoration was done by the BFI (British Film Institute) National Archive. You will recognize all your favourite characters pretty well, since all them are based closely on Sir John Tenniel’s famous illustrations of Lewis’ book.
Mutation (2014) Sodeoka
10 Jan
I’m having flashbacks to the dial-up days… Fresh AV from the master of mind melting video distortions Yoshihide Sodeoka, from his new video art collective Undervolt & Co.
“Mosaic Dance” Jake Zhang

Pretty Lights
10 JanMy lifestyle has allowed me to step in and out between life in the city and life in rural America. I’m about to give up the cities for quite a long while, and videos like this do well in capturing what it is that I’m going to miss. Day to day lives of people in all different states of mind and stages in life, all of it melting together in the streets. Briefly and constantly. If you’ve only got time for one video, and you’re feeling something mellow, existential, anthropological, I’d take the first one. If you’re in need of something with a bit more energy and want more of a ride than a people-watching experience, maybe give Door Number 2 a try.
