Time Slice


Time Slice from Ian on Vimeo.

Each horizontal line corresponds to a horizontal line of a frame from a video sequence. So, this is 360 pixels high = 360 frames from a sequence. What is shown here are the frames scanning down, so that the first frame of this are all of the first lines of the frames, the second frame of this is the second line from all of the frames, and so on and so forth.

Made with Processing.

Another iteration of the glitch program that I have been working on, this time as an animated gif.

I wrote a little Processing sketch that randomly fucks with the byte data of image files. The result is glitched image files. Lots of them. That I can animate. Click on the image above for the movie.

I will hopefully have more iterations of this soon. I kind of like this idea, going along with some previous ideas that I was working with, but from a different direction – that of manipulating the data directly, as opposed to creating the image of it. Let’s see where this goes.

I was at the downtown San Francisco Nordstrom today (believe it or not, I am actually not there on a regular basis) and ran across an interesting holiday addition. I’m not sure if it was intentional or not, but the strings of lights cascading down the center of the store bear a remarkable to the work of Félix González-Torres, specifically his 1994 piece, Untitled (America) that was featured at the U.S. pavilion in this year’s Venice Biennale.

Below are photos of the two. Judge for yourself.

Blind Side Of A Secret

This is also kind of blowing my mind at the moment. From the guys over at c505.
