Welcome to Istanbul

The second in my One Minute Per Day series.

It’s based on footage I shot for another project, all in Istanbul.

I was trying to get a sense of rhythm going, and put together part of score using traffic noises from Istanbul.

There is room for improvement – it’s not quite sync’ed with the beat of the music, and some of the clips are a bit jarring, they don’t have the same motion as the others.

One Minute per Day

As a way of keeping my video skills sharp, I’ve decided to edit and put online a one minute long video every day. (Much like what Bre Pettis is doing, but with a different kind of video.) I figure that after two months, I’ll have one hour of material! I’m putting them on my One […]

A walk through a Tokyo alley

First installment in my one minute video per day project. I’ll be uploading one minute videos every day for the foreseeable future.

This first video is a walk through an alley in Tokyo (Shibuya-ku). The video is heavily cut to keep it interesting, but I’ve maintained continuity by keeping the sound un-cut.

The color treatment is meant to complement the film-noirish setting, and focus attention on some of the striking graphic elements in the scene.

Updates to video, audio, photo pages

I’ve started to turn this site into a better showcase for my work, by adding dedicated pages for my audio, video and photography. There will be plenty of changes, so please check it out every once in a while.

Shooting immersive video in the field (or – Ladybug's New Orleans Adventure)

I am working on an art project involving panoramic video, shot in New Orleans. The project is a commission for video artist Pawel Wojtasik from the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (Mass MoCA). It will form part of a show called “These Days: Elegies for Modern Times”, opening on April 4th.

NY Street Numbers

I photographed the numbered street signs from 1st to 86th Street, and made a simple video loop. I used it at the FUKT VJ gig at Club Asia on June 30th, 2007. I had a lot of fun bouncing the playback direction back and forth, and changing the playback rate. I will try to get […]

Video from Music – ambient version

Last term I created a piece called Neon/Music, a Max/MSP patch that analyzes video clips for motion and color information and uses it to generate music. For my recent Tokyo trip and performance, I wanted to update it with footage from New York, and more interesting sounds (the original uses general MIDI piano sounds).

I […]

Circuit Breaker at Stereo Lounge, Roppongi, June 28

Played first gig of the ITP Japan tour, with Tristan and Kunal. I played Neon/Music, Tristan and Kunal (also from ITP) performed the Loud Objects. Victor found the venue and brought in DJs to make it a very complete evening. It was great to meet with a lot of my friends there!

As for […]

Chocolate Morphovision

Toshio Iwai is showing another of his incredible Morphovision installations, this time at the newly inaugurated 21/21 Design Sight art space at Tokyo Midtown.

A rapidly spinning sculpture is illuminated by scanning lines from a video projector, changing the timing and duration of the lighting pulses appears to warp the object.

Made with Processing.
Finally got around to posting video for this piece. Its been simmering on the back burner for a while. I hope to eventually swap in basic 3D models with texture mapping just to make their movement through the 3D space less faked.
