On each pane of glass, Xiaowan and David draw an individal image using colored pencils, and only when they are combined on their floor racks, do the images create the whole hologram like effect.
Using multiple layers of tinted glass, artists Xia Xiaowan and David Spriggs transform flat artwork into 3D sculptures of distorted figures, storms, and dandelion-like explosions. Viewers are treated to different shifting perspectives of these “spatial paintings” depending on where they stand in the art space. On each pane of glass, Xiaowan and David draw an individal image using colored pencils, and only when they are combined on their floor racks, do the images create the whole hologram like effect. David Spriggs Collection Xia Xiaowan's Collection Pahnl: 'Nowhere Near Here' is a stop motion animation that uses a combination of light with stencils and long exposure photography to tell the story of a dog running around the city at night, doing whatever a dog does. The animation was first exhibited at the The Herbert, in Coventry, on the 7th October 2010. With well over 300 hours in the making, more than 200 stencils involved and too many cold nights spent outside on my knees getting the shots, I am very happy (and relieved) to finally share this with you. Through the course of shooting 'Nowhere Near Here', I have dealt with curious drunks, a dog almost peeing on the camera (the irony is not lost on me, haha), the endlessly suspicious police and even someone nearly running off with a tripod.

Using a technique called video mapping, the Macula project takes the 600-year-old Astronomical Clock on Old Town Square in Prague and transforms it into one of the most impressive things we've ever seen. It is definitely a grand illusion. It's a treat for the eyes and fuel for the imagination. The artists play with the contoured surface of the tower, using it to heighten the reality of their imagery.

AUJIK, a mysterious Shinto group that believes all things in nature -- including the products of human technology -- possess a soul, have created a series of videos showing organic/synthetic artifacts intended to bridge the gap between the natural and artificial worlds. a Forest within a Forest from QNQ/AUJIK on Vimeo. Amazing show...This is a great demo piece. The designers are using standard projectors and some kind of 3D modelling / physical mapping software to project the moving image on a none rectilinear surface. Reuben Margolin, a Bay Area visionary and longtime maker, creates totally singular techno-kinetic wave sculptures. Using everything from wood to cardboard to found and salvaged objects, Reubens artwork is diverse, with sculptures ranging from tiny to looming, motorized to hand-cranked. Focusing on natural elements like a discrete water droplet or a powerful ocean eddy, his work is elegant and hypnotic. Also, learn how ocean waves can power our future.

The music video is directed by Blind. For the founder of The Cinematic Orchestra – Jason Swinscoe – working life began at Ninja Tune, the London-based independent record label. Here, Swinscoe would distribute records by day, while by night he’d develop a sound that would eventually evolve into The Cinematic Orchestra. Their popularity and growing reputation amongst critics is largely down to their unique sound. Their diverse, imaginative, jazz improvised, electronic approach was praised by Uncut magazine as “every hard-boiled neon-lit Hollywood thriller you’ve ever seen.” From M.C.
