Photo Op
Vivian Maier was a street photographer. She took incredible photos from 1950 - 1990. Over 100,000 of her prints, negatives and undeveloped rolls were discovered at an auction in Chicago. Much of her work is now online:

Backseat of my Bleep
Merry X-Mas. This is what I got you:
The new mix tape. Long awaited, seldom hated. Features a guest appearance by Plastic Little’s Kurt Hunt (current Mayor of Philadelphia). Consider it a free class in freestyle drunk knowledge 101. Also listen to recent techno hotness from Montreal’s Prince of Darkness, Jordan Dare. I gave his cut Shadow Town a tune-up (read: ruined it),...

Sound and Vision
For awhile now, I’ve been thinking about the possibilities of encoding sound, specifically music, into a visual medium. Before MP3s music was hoarded, loaned, shared, kept in pristine collections, or kicked around on the floors of cars. And even when it was beaten, battered and used to the point of destruction, the artifact was never a disposable commodity. The idea of having a physical...

Neuroid Annoyed
Joe Saavedra is an awesome dude. He’s helped me with a few of my projects. Now one of his has been covered by Gizmodo, which is way rad. But they had to go and eff it up with this comment at the end of their article. “anybody can collect, view and collaborate on data from the world around us. Though, given how polluted NY is—in every way imaginable—maybe I don’t wanna...

LED Round System
Maybe I should be embarrassed about how much I love this incredible spinning thing with the pretty lights, but I’m not. If I had to pack for time travel, I’d squeeze five of these things into my luggage. Not sure how I’d power them, but if I figured it out, I could go back and start my own religion.
The details on the build are here:

Block Party
Aestheticode is a human readable and machine readable code, similar to bar codes but more aesthetically pleasing. Pretty interesting stuff if you like codes, urban art, computer vision or just playing with blocks.

Swap Meet
I was traveling for awhile and then swamped with finals, so I’ve been too busy to drop any sweet blog action. Anyway, here’s something I just found. It’s a website where designers trade off, doing work on each other’s sites.

Graffiti Rocked
There’s a rad article in the Wall Street Journal about the battle between old-school graffiti writer Robbo and Millionaire art-star Banksy. I’m a bit torn being a Newschool artist who is old-school in most other ways. I do like Banksy’s work, but I grew up watching Beatstreet, so I have to side with the legit working class tagger on this one. It doesn’t help that...

Kowalski?
Maybe I’m just paranoid, but I really feel like Japanese artists are working super hard to make me feel inadequate by creating totally insane shit all the time. Is it just me?

Noise Annoys
This guy TapeTronic does some crazy stuff with customized tape decks. I’m kinda mad that I didn’t think of this.

Worst Roulette Scenes Since Deerhunter
I did some Chatroulette punking. This was a hilarious way to waste about 5 hours of my life that I’ll never get back. Enjoy, I did this for you.

Fast Times
An Hour’s DJ set condensed into about 10 minutes. I wanted to see what my hands did. It’s interesting to hear the music at 6 times normal speed, but maybe that’s because I listened to too much IDM in the 90s.
YAMA
This is from a film I just watched called The Taste of Tea. It’s a great, fun, beautiful little Japanese movie. The entire thing was worth watching but this scene stands on it’s own. Who was the eyebrow stylist on this shoot?

Zef Comedy Jam
This is so incredible, I’m left wondering if it’s actually a clever marketing campaign for something. There seriously needs to be a feature length movie of this. I want to drop an atomic bomb on it and also own the t-shirt.

Me and the Moon
This is the rough version of a video I pitched to the Drums for their song “Me and the Moon”. I’m sure I went about it all in the most unprofessional way, as I never heard back from their manager. This is just the first draft, I never refined it and there are some things that bug me about it (color correction needed badly!). Still, I like what I did and the song and band...
