Three out of six surfaces of the cube are made of flexible membrane (foil mirror) with air tank and a compressor connected to it and the other three mirrors are semi transparent spy-glass. By inflating or deflating the air tank, the membrane turns convex or concave, deforming the reflections.
This is a pretty accurate depiction of what will eventually happen through augmented reality. The film got funded on Kickstarter and was shot on location in Medellín, Colombia. Official site: http://hyper-reality.co/
Mandala is a communal + permanent projection mapping sculptural installation at the Billy Blue College of Design in Brisbane, Australia. It was conceived and built by Liam Key, and is available for students to hone, test, and learn projection mapping on an already existing installation.
All animation in this video is created by Liam Key. Songs by Chris Clark (Caveman Lament + Fossil Paste).
Short film based on real experiences of increased resolution in mental imagery.
Dreams, the imagination and stored visual imagery in memory play an important role in all our daily lives. They are the basis of invention and use cognitive processes which are not well understood by even the leading neuroscientists. This short film is a testament to the brains ability to see things with the mind’s eye clearly and precisely as 3-dimensional visual imagery.
All 3D models, animation and musical score by Australian visual artist and researcher Liam Key.
Liam has a PhD work “Using 3D animation to visualise N, N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) complex visual hallucinations”, which was unfortunately rejected due to major errors in terms of the scientific method. I still recommend to check it out as he worked directly with Rick Strassman M.D, developing 12 x 3D animated scenes of complex visual hallucinations recorded in the most recent human DMT study done in the past 40 years.
A silent protagonist explores the entheogen Dimethyltryptamine in this animated, allegoric depiction of the mechanisms society has to damage and abstract the self.
The joyously colorful and fantastical work of Guatemalen artist Muxxi animated by Brazilian artist Lucassou is a delightful entry into a magical world. Check out Muxxi’s illustrations on her website:
A few years ago we’ve featured a number of videos by Ave (here, here and here), which presented a very personal, meditative and sometimes even mystical style.
I find that Ave’s work is remarkable in the way in which it connects one to the experience of the present moment. Even more remarkably, it does that by merging the viewer with the naked presence of the moment in which the video was taken, with its qualities of unpredictability, unrepeatability, spontaneity and freedom. These meditative journeys can be embarked upon by following a plastic bag as it wonders around the city, going up and down the amusement park wonder wheel together with your friend, or singing to the sun.
In this video Ave and friends probe deeper into the realms of performance. They present the camera with a space of deep intimacy, which can be entered and experienced by anybody watching this video.
