Friday Videos - April 7th, 2017

posted April 7, 2017 #

Today's the last day for Kevin Sheurs at VHX. He's our CTO and has been with the company since day 1; helping to build the entire infrastructure of our platform. It's lamentable to see him go but I'm excited to see what he gets into next. Follow him on Twitter, he's always got some interesting insight to share.

But enough of the schmaltz - on to the videos. A short one as I spent the previous evening sending Mr. Sheurs off in grand fashion.
  • Double King - an original animation by Felix Colgrave. Give it 30 seconds and you'll be hooked for the remainder of the flick. It's unbelievable one person did this.
  • Our Heavenly Bodies - I mentioned this previously but I'm going to see Coupler play in Philadelphia this weekend perform a live score to this 1925 silent film. Sounds pretentious but I am confident it will be stellar.
  • Rick TV - another combo Rick & Morty / Paul Robertson animation. Stellar work, even if you don't know the show at all.
  • Epic Puppy Sneeze - you know what's coming and it's still baffling.
  • Datamoshing Test - welcome to your new nightmare. Nice.

Angela Deane, Ghost Photos

posted April 6, 2017 #

It's been a few years since I've visited the work of Angela Deane but her work has sustained it's level of intrigue in that time. Her Ghost Photographs project consists of found photographs manipulated to depict ethereal spirits hanging out in everyday situations. It's amusing, macabre and a bit melancholy... depending on your mood for the day. She also throws in some witches and other characters now and again for good measure, which I appreciate.

You can follow her on Instagram and Tumblr to get a regular dose.

Chaz Bundick Meets The Mattson 2

posted April 6, 2017 #

I recently had a chance encounter with the song Disco Kid from the awkwardly named Chaz Bundick meets The Mattson 2. I've been stuck in a repeating loop of over indulgence since. Chaz Bundick is better known as Toro y Moi and the Mattson 2 are a jazz duo from California. The combination of spacey, psych styles works extremely well together for my ears.

You can watch a real deal video for Star Stuff off the same album or just dive into the whole thing.

Drag Race Can Change The World

posted April 5, 2017 #

Over the past few years I've come to have a deep appreciation for RuPaul. Her show, RuPaul's Drag Race, is the perfect blend of catty reality show contestants mixed with unrelenting creativity. If you watch it, I don't need to explain how impressive it is.

In a wonderful but brief interview she did with VICE recently, she speaks to the growing popularity of the show and what it signals for our society. There are so many troubling legislative moves to hamper LGBTQ culture but there's clearly a groundswell moving in the opposite direction. Acceptance and embracement of a show like Drag Race are signifiers of this. RuPaul's thoughts on the subject are spot on.

And when you're done with that, enjoy some vintage RuPaul.

Breaking AMP

posted April 5, 2017 #

I haven't given much thought to Google's Accelerated Mobile Pages - the technology that allows articles from across the web to be quickly surfaced and grouped together via a common markup language (the Instant Articles of the web) - except for seeing the occasional gripe on Twitter that I usually agreed with. However, after reading through this Andrew Betts piece of AMP: Breaking News, I'm further solidified in the belief that it's more harmful than helpful. The URL masking alone is enough to bother me but I know most casual Interneters wouldn't care too much.

There's a litany of reasons to be worried about the technology and that article makes a great case for each. Please give it a read.
