part one of a series of short movies about people's favorite places. where they go to relax, to think, to wallow, to remember, to forget. i asked people to describe these places: what they look and sound like, why they go there, who they go there with, when they go there and how it makes them feel. following the taped interview, i set out to try and record and represent some of their statements. very simply, i wanted to try and capture some of the essence of what they had said. i intend to show these movies to the original contributers and document their subsequent responses.
for this series of five movies, all the locations are in boston. part one :: sense of place :: traintracks

in an attempt to at least semi-regularly post, i'm adding a video i made a while back, following the supercollision exhibition held here at mit. ben and i made a dreamachine, ala brion gyson, which was really just an excuse for us to play around with the waterjet cutter and the laser cutter and use a rivet gun and cut large pieces of wood on the band saw. seymor papert might advocate "hard learning", whereas ben and i advocate "dangerous learning".
the video supposes some form of narrative about a robot going crazy, hypnotized people and a scary evil controller person(a very unlikely aaron). make of it what you will and blame ben for the metal music.

our next assignment for chris c's class is to make a 30 second movie about love, and a 30 second movie about argument. i shot this using a fish eye lens, hence the dinosaur like arm and other roundy weirdness. i was trying to avoid being preachy, but i guess the text could be construed as so. oh well.
the statistics are courtesy of the american bar association and the music is slowdive's "crazy for you", off the pygmalion album.

the jellyfish exhibition at monterey aquarium is truly mesmerizing. i could have watched these graceful creatures all day as they glided and waltzed around the beautifully lit tank. i've had this footage for ages and wasn't quite sure what to do with it. however, after listening the other day to local field's sublime swing shift album, i thought it might be sweet to have the jellyfish float and move around in time to the music. the featured track is "remark one".

things have been a bit hectic recently, so today's movie comes by proxy. my good pal james made a rather spiffy video for our arts practicum class. his director's cut of his 15 seconds of love goes something like this.

this week we're all about love. 15 seconds of it to be precise. i have a class assignment this week to make a 15 second movie about love. i thought it might be interesting to search google images for the word love and rip out the first 60 returned images or so. then use the same search term looking for audio files on soulseek. mix them all together and voila: love as offered and interpreted by the internet. i guess the whole semantic web thing still has a ways to go...
