Granula Synthesis John Mackey


This is a great piece of work, using Granula Synthesis, and shows a what can be done with simple but effecivet manipulation, there is alot of very badly done granula synthesis around but Mackey shows how you can push the boundaries, keeping an interest and suspension.

Leap of Faith II

Thiry-two fiber optic cables project a swarming cluster of bodies on the floor. These bodies seem to fall through a bottomless pit.


Everyday you find new artists that knock you off your feet, come on this is just the beginning, if you can check out his website at:-http://www.danielcanogar.com/page_in/index.html

In the late nineties Daniel Canogar developed a multi-projection system using fiber optic cables. By means of this technology he produced various installations, including "Alien Memory", "Sentience" and "Leap of Faith". These were done in homage to the Phantasmagoria created by Robertson, a Belgian scientist fascinated by optical illusions. In 1798 Robertson started using magic lanterns to project spectral images of bodies, a proto-cinematographic spectacle that captivated European audiences. In Canogar's work he substituted fiber optic cables for magic lanterns, updating the notion of the technological phantom.

The Piano By Aidan Gibbson

The Piano - The most amazing videos are a click away

This had me in tears, a great touching experience of past memories and lost love, haunting music.The music is a piano piece called 'Une comptine d'un autre ete', which I think means something like 'A lullaby from another summer.' Its music from the french film 'Amelie.'

Metamorphosis 'Self Portraits'(It's simple delicious being seditious)

I feel that working with the theme of Metamorphosis also has a personal agenda that I was perhaps subconsciously not admitting to, it has been brought to my attention that although I am not trying to portray a father & son relationship, the struggle of bereavement has caused a change in my own outlook, this has also been equally evident in my dress sense, the new 'corporate clobber. i.e suits as opposed to my regular seditious attire is a incorporation of working practise, my oeuvre which for the best part of my artist career has been illustration and semi-abstract oil painting, is now focused on video installation and digital manipulation.

This new addition to my working practise as been a struggle from start to finish, it has brought many accomplishments and new avenues that were before untrodden, but it also allowed a freedom of distancing myself from the unavoidable entwining that oil painting had before been so destructive, although I find a freedom in video work i am not like my previous endeavour bondaged to each canvas, I am able to terminate the monitor, to swicth off, to focus on more multi-dimensional planes, without the laborious mechanical shackles that painting demands.

High Speed Camera - Popcorn

Add to My Profile | More Videos

This just appealed to me, the Metamorphosis from Maize to Popcorn, doesn't have any deep meaning or anything but holds the viewers attention, and for some reason I just like that, we all know what happens when Popcorn is made but to have it there to watch,well gives it a whole new ball game? something about that cloud of maize dust when then thing explodes?

Metamorphoses 2002 - Body Language

I'm hoping to do some audio soundscapes in a similar vein to 'Body Language' using original pioneering synthersizers and moog units...watch this space.

GTA's Metamorphoses - Trailer

Loved this, a shunning piece of work, the water element works a treat, the sound track can often distract from the video but there is some very good camera work that pulls out the best elements of the performers. this also comes with a commentry video, which I also love, getting to find out what caused problems for them and how they did it is always a useful tool. not that I intend working in a pool of water but hey if it came to it I now know how to go about it.

Kafka's The Metamorphosis - Black Moon Theatre Company

The choreography on this video is fanastic and takes the essence of what the Metamorhosis the visual aspect is all about, this is close to how I envisoned my portrayal of Gregor Samas, developing the Steven Berkoff original stage performances and giving a further fluid motion, the back projection is also a great piece of work and adds that human element that we could quite easily forget that the book is about. the Black Moon Threatre Company's insectical performances are wonderful and have been a great inspiration to my pre production to my Metamorphosis short film.

face

Good use of the blending process animation, morphing facial features, I thought I might use this process with my 'Metamorphosis' sketches to show the pre-Photoshop workings out.

metamorphosis No2

I like the movement in this piece, I would of liked to see a little more post production than just the aged film, but it brings a real feel of an emotional struggle, coupled with a body aspect, that jarring effect from the performer for me asks questions about humanity and our relationship to our natural feelings, that often get masked by convention. Our inability to break away from what we believe is expected from us, that naked animal instinct within that is trapped.

metamorphosis No1

Not the best of films, but shows the influence of Kafka's work, some of the acting more is strong and emotional but the overal special effects let it down, the suggestion of the 'metamorphosis process' would of been more conducive. the running time is a little too long to hold your attention till the end, althoughI expect that most kafka enthusiasts like myself endure it to the bitter end.
