Whilst creating the illustration I thought about how each bit might animate and so set about turning it into a short ident type visual. It was soon after that I learnt about the Resolume competiton for Kraak & Smaak a Dutch trio of musicians who create some quality funk/breakbeat/electro tunes. As Kraak & Smaak translates to Crunchy & Tasty I thought it'd be too good an opportunity to miss to get a set of food-themed illustrations turned into VJ loops."

TRI▲NGLE is a video work done for the book 'Black Material' which showcases Robert Knoke's artwork. Written by the author: " Curator Jens Karlson asked me to make a short animation and get Robert Knoke's black and white artwork as base for video. I chosed to create tense harmony between geometrical forms and organic movements. Combustion helped me to expand possibilites of Black material with his strong music and sound design."

"Lights Out" is a fun short animated film. It follows a little robotic character who's just trying to grab some shut-eye but the factory around him springs to life unexpectedly. A serious design flaw in the factories ergonomics prevents the poor guy from reaching the off switch and the rest is history!
There is also a stereoscopic 3D version of the short, if you have the glasses you'll need to see it go here. Check out more about the artist here.

:: installation : speed of light ::

2010-04-22T11:06:00.006+01:00

UVA (United Visual Artists) were commissioned by Virgin Media to create 'an immersive light installation celebrating 10 years of broadband in the UK'.

It comprises a series of laser-based experimental light works which flow through the labyrinthine spaces of the Bargehouse, the four-storey ex-warehouse on London's South Bank.

=
On entering the space, visitors are asked to speak into a suspended microphone to answer questions displayed on the wall in front of them. Their answers follow them around the building as they explore the various installations over four floors. These sounds and others, as well as light, are carried around the building using fibre optics, thus tying in with the broadband theme.
