Studio of Electronic Arts

Short film by Terri Timely, more of his stuff here

Someone also showed me this blog a while ago, it basically accuses the advertising industry shamelessly exploiting creativity and copying original ideas without paying any due credit to the original artists/filmmakers/animators etc…
Some examples are much more valid than others, so have a scroll down and read some older entries, its interesting to compare and judge it for yourself, and consider what is homage and where the fine line between inspiration and plagiarism lies.
Strong language warning though as you might guess from reading the title of the site.. the author is pretty relentless in their accusations and quite graphic… not for the easily offended

Initially (and in currently now) I’m unsure whether to use interfacing for my electronic arts work… My plan was to create several of these abstract videos and create an installation with all of them being shown all at once in complete unison in a room or to have the same video be projected in a room with all 6 areas (the 4 walls, roof and floor) so that I trap the viewer in my own sort of made up illusion world so to speak Read the rest of this entry »

very lovely.

My idea for a hypothetical project I would like to produce is centered around creating a large scale motion picture montage. By this I mean creating the video equivalent of a photo montage where a single image is composed from thousands of various smaller images that act as pixels.

1600 television screens would be stacked on top of each other in a grid-like arrangement of 400 high by 400 wide, that from standing right up close, would look like a wall of tv’s just arbitrarily playing different pieces of footage in no particular sequence. However once the viewer takes a step back they begin to see a much larger image emerge from the monitors and realise that they are watching an entirely different video altogether.

My interest in electronic arts lie particulaly in the documentation of performance art.  I am also interested in incorporating audience participation through elctronic means within perfomance art.  Artists such as the Kingpins, who use costume, humour, dance and music influence my art heavily, and their use of film in documenting their performances are engaging and refreshing in that they end up becoming just as important as the performance itself. I hope to learn to use Flash this next half of the semester to document some performance pieces that are will be theatrical and humouress in commenting on different ideas of gender.

The video I have done for Electronic Arts is up for viewing on Youtube =P *yay, I get it now ^_^*

Lenny- With a million dollars…
It would be fair to say that with a million dollars or whatever, i would travel. I would most certainly buy a lot of high tech equipment and a studio space to work in. I would probably further my studies, work on projects that I’m passionate about and fund some gallery exhibitions so i could try and sell my work. Depending on how well that turns out… maybe move to New York and try my luck there.
I would also be really interested in living in Melbourne for a while, collaborating with artists there and possibly getting a tattoo apprenticeship. I love the graffiti culture, i would love to work with someone in that field, even pick up a few tips and try something my self.

I’ve been thinking about how i can relate this semesters theme with what i want to do… and something that really interests me is the idea of escapism. Just recently i watched requiem for a dream and, to say the least, i was really moved by it. I suppose what I’m getting at is, in this day and age there is so many things happening in the world, things like the global financial crisis, war, this extreme reaction to swine flu… and these things have got everyone in a panic. I want to kind of explore a world where these things don’t necessarily matter, where these things don’t exist, or if they do… “there’s only one cure…”
When i think about escapism, i think of drugs, masked people, dream-like realities… and delusion. And not necessarily in a bad way. So in saying all this, I’m working on creating a movie that expresses this idea of escapism. This reaction to reality.

I really like the way this old image of heroin, back when you could buy it like any other pain killer, is formated into a pop art type image.

I started media art last semester and worked on a short video and a sound project. The only experience I’ve ever really had with creating my own music or sound effects, my own movie video type things… would have been when i first got my digital camera and thought, “shit, I’m like Tarantino right now.” Hardly, as it turns out.
But i did have a ibook lap tap… and a couple of software programs at my disposal that i thought wouldn’t hurt to use, just for my own self indulgent bullshit creative brain farts.
And now… i would like to humbly explore all these strange little thoughts and ideas buzzing around in my brain fluids. Maybe make something explosive… something odd, something I’ll be mildly proud about.

http://prodigieux-monde.deviantart.com/art/Sense-of-Urgency-to-Stop-Time-135757812 is the link to it. It’s a short written piece which is related to both my electives in accordance to the theme of ‘Fact, Fiction and Feeling’. However, the way in which this piece of writing relates to my video and edited pictures is very subtle… I still have a long way with the learning of interfaces and fusing it with my video work as well.

If i was a billionaire i would attempt to create a form of time travel that would enable the user to travel back in time in a digital space to the destination of their choice. the user would enter a room and be immersed in a virtual reality, allowing them to experience and explore past history. they would be able to function as though they were in a real world situation, talking and interacting with their surroundings.

Here is some of my process work for my interface project..
