H OM E OMOR PH ISM (2014)

17 Jan

 

This Dome A/V Performance will melt your eyes, you must watch in HD.
A continuously transforming, complex morphological and geometrical representation of the information contained in natural images. From the animation talent at Ouchhh Motion Lab, the forms were inspired by the diversity of New Mexico’s landscapes, though it certainly looks like an alien abduction into generative hyperspace took place on a distant plateau.

How A Face Changes With Light

12 Jan

Sometimes 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 Jan

This 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.
