I was giggling with delight by the end of this video! This definitely falls into my favorite class of video art: taking a single, simple concept and asking yourself, “Ok…what are ALL the cool things we could do with this.”
Great, one-take video by OK Go. These guys sure know how to take simple ideas and make cool videos.
Sometimes I’m having a regular day, and then I remember that Mel Cowan is a hero. Very thankful for him.
Thankful for Clay Larsen!
Back To The Future Game Concept!
Ok, imagine this, but in a Grand Theft Auto-style world…but with multiple different time-period versions of that world. An open-world, open-time game? Or, can you imagine a racing game, where you have to jump to different time periods to get past different obstacles? Come on, this has to get made!
True story: the new Ghostbusters video game got off the ground partly due to concept videos similar to this. Hope!
People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are “The Advertisers” and they are laughing at you.
You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity.
Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.
You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs.
Important.

This is the sort of thing that happens when I don’t have Friday night plans before 3pm.
My friend Clay has been dared to go see New Moon tonight. His ticket has been paid for, his flask is full of whiskey, and he will be liveblogging the whole thing. He hasn’t seen the first movie, and he has to applaud at the end no matter what. Follow and come back later tonight at 9:45 (PST) to see what happens.
Just live for today
Least that’s what they try to say

This song has been my musical equivalent (and sometimes companion) to drowning sorrows in a bottle of whiskey since junior year of college. For some reason, I always come back; personally, I think the flutes are the draw.
Automatic. Reblog.

Bugs as generative art anyone? Temporary.cc is a site that deletes part of itself for each unique visitor it receives (via CreativeApplications.net).
