RGB Transition

rubbishcorp® — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 13:05:44 +0000

‘HD video, silent, 3 minute 20 second loop. A video image consists of three primary components – red, green and blue. For this work each component channel was fed a differently timed sequence of 50 common video transitions. As the three components recombine to create a video image; constantly changing forms and colours are revealed.’

An Exquisite Corpse Experiment | IDEO

rubbishcorp® — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 09:04:40 +0000

In traditional storytelling, we rely on words to conjure images in our minds. But what happens when we’re provided with visuals that represent each of the story’s words, but not its larger context? And what if the story itself is collaborative and nonlinear—and the images that represent it keep changing?

This site, inspired by the exquisite corpse model of storytelling, is an attempt to find out.

The exquisite corpse model is rooted in the surrealist movement, and we are inspired by how many experiments currently in public domain play with its framework (or lack thereof). Our take on the model—in which we essentially asked a group of collaborators to submit sentences/fragments—was to create a dynamic visualization for the “exquisite” story our writers had crafted. These collective fragments formed a base on which we layered sensory artifacts, from voice-over to tagged visuals, and we were curious as to how far we could take the experience.

Check out the site here.

405NM Laser Fade Out Test 2

rubbishcorp® — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 12:22:35 +0000

Fade Out, a visual display system developed by Daito Manabe and Motoi Ishibashi, it uses laser beams to “print” ephemeral glow-in-the-dark images on a wall-mounted screen coated with photoluminescent paint. A computer receives and processes a digital image which is fired at the photoluminescent screen (using lasers) to produce glowing pixels. Gradiation is created by controlling the timing of the laser shots and allowing the darker portions of the image to fade. The completed image gradually disappears as the glow of the screen grows dim.

The duo are also looking at ways to create glowing images in liquid and on irregular surfaces – like a face:

Real Life ‘Like’

rubbishcorp® — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 00:10:27 +0000

The video is awful 0 the sound track and V/O being particularly minging. However, the thing it’s on about is a very nice idea. Basically enabling people to perform a “Like” action in the real world, which appears back on Facebook.

Sweet.

Additional inappropriate meeting cliché: ‘Digital is best when it’s not digital’.

The Faking Hoaxer

rubbishcorp® — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 11:28:42 +0000

Special effects artist known as The Faking Hoaxer (TFH) uses special effects to show how typical conspiracy, UFO, and ghost videos are created. IHis footage is so spot on that UFO enthusiasts have apparently made clips from TFH’s work and passed them off as ‘real’.

You may well have seen some of his videos before – but you may not have realized they were deliberate.

Very nice work.

Have a dig around on his YouTubeChannel.

Transumer | Fuck Stuff Up.

rubbishcorp® — Mon, 24 May 2010 18:45:35 +0000

Transumer is a site based intervention by PVI collective that encourages audiences to clandestinely take over their city. Armed with a customized iphone programmed with augmented reality, participants are invited to plot the end of their city and create networks revealing strategies for a modern day insurrection. Transumer is inspired by the anonymous anti-consumerist publication, the coming insurrection, which critiques the downfall of capitalism and proposes a call to arms for a modern day revolution. Applying the book’s philosophy, transumer empowers participants to subvert the social norm by using virtual art to create real world group action.

Creepy Singing Android Heads

rubbishcorp® — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 08:36:40 +0000

These three animatronic heads are part of an ‘art piece’ being sold at Art Basel Miami Beach 2009 for $75,000. The heads are molds of the artist’s face that are controlled by a computer device module. The movements and sound are on a 15 minute loop and both sing together and uncomfortably look around the room individually.

Creepy.
