Spook Sport (1940)- Mary Ellen Bute
24 Oct
In the spirit of Halloween, this week’s post features spooks, ghosts and bats in Mary Ellen Bute’s experimental animated film from 1940. Mary Ellen Bute was a groundbreaking filmmaker in her own right, but her gender makes her contributions to early experimental cinema all the more powerful. Unfortunately, the you tube upload incorrectly labels Norman MacLaren as the director (the fabulous Mac Laren was indeed an animator on the film, but direction was all Ms. Bute’s). Just look at how awesome she was!

Matthew Stephenson: They Both Explode
20 OctA short hallucinatory tale of consumption, sorrow, redemption and vomit.
Matthew describes the creation process:
The film was made mostly out of card and found objects and shot using a primitive multiplane system made from a desk, some picture-frames and an old pillow case. I used Dragon software and a second hand Lumix FZ50 camera. It was all done ‘in camera’ so there is no compositing or anything; what you see is what the camera saw, lying on the floor, looking up through panes of glass with lights shining down on it.
Google Artificial Neural Networks – A collection
19 OctA few months ago the internet was raging about the new psychedelic videos released by Google. Apparently, when you take Google’s artificial neural networks (ANN) which recognize patterns in images and cause them to reiterate in loops, highly psychedelic patterns emerge, which caused many to ponder the ways in which these ANN’s can teach us about the psychedelic nature of reality and our consciousness. While Samy has already dedicated a great post to this issue, it seems like a good time for a retrospective of the Google ANN phenomena. So here are some of those psychedelic mind boggling courtesy of Google’s Deep Dream algorithm.
First some explanation of how these images are created:
