All Things Fall, 3D Zoetrope

posted July 5, 2016 #

Matt Collishaw is a British artist with a rather compelling body of work. There's a Hydroponic House, Large Scale Projections and Bizarre Technical Installations just to name a few. However, I am smitten with the series of 3D Printed Zoetropes he has created in collaboration with Sebastian Burdon.

Seria Ludo is the most recent of the Zoetropes, an enormous chandelier that spins to create animation. Equally impressive are previous iterations on the same idea - All Things Fall, Garden of Un-earthly Delights and Throbbing Gristle all depict large scale animations through persistence of vision. The characters are brutal in a Renaissance kind of way but that gives the whole project an air of timelessness, as if these massive art machines were just unearthed and restored.

Bisected Golden Boulders

posted July 5, 2016 #

Much of the portfolio of Romain Langlois is the kind of modern art that makes eyes roll - hewn pieces of wood wrapped in rope sitting on a bare concrete floor or maybe just a piece of wood and nothing more. I understand the reaction. However, he does have some bisected golden boulders that are right up my alley. There's something other worldly and fantastic about them. The inner liquid-y core is a beautiful juxtaposition to the granite exterior.

The Function of Music with Jad Abumrad

I sat down with Jad Abumrad and talked about sound, music and the function of music. Then I turned that conversation into a film.

the fact that @spotify doesn't link the record label listed underneath each album to a label page full of its artists and albums baffles me.

Do you watch Jon Oliver? His joke last week on the Brexit about Britain celebrating their own "Independence Day" was too funny. Trust me, it was good. You should watch it. I chuckled aloud for real.

If videos are not your thing for whatever reason, please enjoy these Zoo Signs, these idiot kids and these Delightful Dogs. If you do enjoy videos, here you go!

Kitten vs Dog Tail - yea, that title is very AFV but c'mon, it's delightful.
Tiny Hamster BBQ - sometimes you just need some good natured, wholesome fun. Like these little buddies having a BBQ.
Shelley UHaul - you may need a little context but once you get it, it's pretty good. Also, try driving yourself insane.
Laughing Artic Fox - delightful.
Wooo Wooo - followup, also delightful.
Wooo Wooo Remix - let's keep going.
Why HeroQuest is So Great - gotta agree with this guy, I know nothing of Hero Quest but this guys demeanor is undeniable.
Blop! - headphones required... and before you get upset at this being tasteless and offensive, remember it's a Reality Show in which these folks are acting. It's TV, not real.
Dog leading the blinds - I think I've watched this 100x this week. Never unfunny.
#NeverForget Fireworks - this guys panic is still hilarious.

Cryptic Fantasies

posted June 30, 2016 #

I've been enjoying the output of Nashville psych-rock band Penicillin Baby for awhile but their latest release, Cryptic Fantasties is some next-level goodness. Not only is the artwork from yewknee fave St Francis Elevator Ride but the songs are just extra realized and perfectly executed.

Give a listen to the final track, "Working Man", and just try not to put it on repeat.
