Theo Jansen’s Kinetic Sculpture is Alive! [almost]

Strandbeest8 These sculptural ‘animals’ are amazing; like a combination of DaVinci and David Cronenberg. Jansen has hit upon a form that resonates with my sense of the future/past as present; fairy tales, dinosaurs and mythical beasts.

They also make me think of the effects of space and time in the way Thomas Mann used space and time. Mann suggested [in The Magic Mountain] that movement through space has similar effects upon a person as those of the passage of time; distanciation, obfuscation and disorientation. Not ‘time-traveling’ but ‘travel-timing’; faster if not as permanent.

Anyway, check out the video too...

From Inhabitat:

“Theo Jansen has been creating wind-walking examples of artificial life since 1990. What was at first a rudimentary breed has slowly evolved into a generation of machines that are able to react to their environment: “over time, these skeletons have become increasingly better at surviving the elements such as storms and water and eventually I want to put these animals out in herds on the beaches, so they will live their own lives.”

Constructed as intricate assemblages of piping, wood, and wing-like sails, Jansen’s creatures are constantly evolving and have become excellently adapted to their sandy beach environment. The creatures sport legs, which “prove to be more efficient on sand than wheels . . . they don’t need to touch every inch of the ground along the way, as a wheel has to”. .”

Bob Dylan on the Chabad Telethon: One of the Only Redeeming Reasons to Live in LA; The Ten most Incomprehensible Bob Dylan Interviews of All Time

We just heard about the new Bryant Park Project over at NPR and while perusing the web component of the project, we ran across this great YouTube clip. Have a listen:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mVAn4X5zNc

"Dylan's been giving bad interviews for so long that New York Magazine compiled a list that they call "The Ten Most Incomprehensible Bob Dylan Interviews of All Time." Now I applaud them for their research, and it's certainly worth a look, because they tracked down video of most of these trainwrecks. (A 1986 classic is above.) But I take issue with New York's slant.

How many times have you heard Bob Dylan characterized as being out of it and incoherent? How many jokes have been made about him mumbling and rambling through songs and sentences? It's a pretty old and predictable take, and it has little or no basis in reality.

Say what you will about Dylan. You may think he's past his prime, you may think his songs go on forever, and after watching interview clips like the one above, you may think he's a jerk. But make no mistake--he knows exactly what he's doing.

Info-graphic Music Video by Sarah McLachlan "World on Fire"

Another highlight from our wanderings in the info-graphic world this week; an info-graphic music video featuring Sarah McLachlan's "World on Fire". Fabulous use of graphics and stock ftg. Yes, we are not alone.

from infoaesthetics: at the cost of $15 for this whole video, I guess the infographics were designed for free.

Simpsons "Powers of 10" Classic Send-up

Yes we've been neglecting the blog for a few weeks. It's summer after all and up here in the Pacific Northwest when the sun comes out, you take advantage of it!

But this week we are working on an infographic project and so in honor of that occasion, we will be sharing some of our research here on (incli)NATION.

First up, a fabulous send-up of the classic "Powers of 10" by Charles and Ray Eames.

Simpsons fans will remember this one: it is a classic in its own right. The following from infoaesthetics

compare The Simpsons' rendition of the Powers of Ten to the 1977 original documentary film, shown after the break.

Fujiya & Miyagi, "Ankle Injuries" creative scripting on YouTube

Absolutely fantastic video. Obviously scripted pixels into die, but great nonetheless. The kids are complaining they ripped off Gondry's White Stripes vid, but they just don't know...there is nothing NEW in the world. ENJOY!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5XVeENmLMk

C'était un Rendez-vous: Filmé par Claude Lelouch

Need a little adreanaline rush? Click here to get 9 minutes a unadulterated, uncut speed with this little cult classic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyabObFKp0s

Lelouch_mercedes_3   

A big thank you to the just discovered (to us) Studio 109. Plenty of good debate on the authenticity of speed here, here and here...

According to Studio 109

"This short film by seminal French director Claude Lelouch presents a unique experience of the urban environment. A nine minute tour of 1970's Paris from a moving vehicle. There are some pretty tense moments as the driver speeds through the cobblestone streets. There is a lot of controversy surrounding the nuts and bolts of the film. Who was driving? What type of car? Was it staged? Has it been altered to make the cars speed appear faster? But the overwhelming consensus is that Lelouch himself was driving, the roads were not block off, and he reached top speeds between 90-140 mph in a Ferrari 275 GTB before ending his voyage at the Basilica Sacre Coeur."
