Genius.

New Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds album coming out. Who’s stoked?

Thanks Zane.

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.

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

From the blurb:
“A Battles collaboration with celebrated light artists UVA (United Visual Artists), produced by Warp Films (This Is England, Rubber Johnny, Dead Mans Shoes etc.).”

A video of a pixel abstraction, taking as it’s source, a static digital photograph of my good friend, and reoccurring subject matter, Amy. Click on the above image for the video, or click here.

While I love the song, what interests me more about this is the video as snapshot of a particular time, both artistically and politically. I love it.
