“Monument” by Röyksopp & Robyn

17 Aug

stretching moments of time into space…

There is this beautiful word in the (not always pretty) german language: Augenblick. It means something similar to proverbial “blink of an eye”. But while “blinking” is the ephemeral moment that interrupts the view, “Blick” is more like “glance”, an ephemeral mode of seeing. Now dear old Mr. Goethe has phrased “Der Augenblick ist Ewigkeit”. This sentence simply asserts that the “Augenblick”, the ephemeral moment is eternity. While this might look like a contradiction at first, it actually describes the most common experience: every single Augenblick passes instantly — and this one thing will never change.

“Goodbye Rabbit, Hop Hop” by Caleb Wood

11 May

“Goodbye Rabbit, Hop Hop” is an incredibly organic, almost breathing animation short film by animation artist Caleb Wood. Following the rhythm of everyday impressions it goes – once again – down the rabbit hole. The beautiful soundtrack also deserves to be mentioned.

Enjoy!

“Outro” by M83

7 Apr

Outer space and inner space have been connected not only since the famous scene from Stanley Kubrick’s movie 2001 – A Space Odyssey. And when space travel was the topic of the day, people also started to talk about their (often drug induced) experience of inner space in terms of trips and travel, of exploration of the unknown. Just like underwater – another kind of space Jeremy Searle and Josh Franer add in the video for “Outro” by M83 – those spaces can be explored by us, but not without special means.
