motion panoramas

using the same (lo-tech!) image stitching program that i used to create the glasto panorama below, these images were created by joining together single frames from a super8 film. in doing so, the image displays the progression of the video as a single image. as you move across the images, you can follow the motion of the camera- the image blurs as the cameras panning speed increases. im thinking of doing this to shots from famous films as well- creating panoramic landscapes of the fake sets...as always, give em a click for a good view!

also, a quick big up to the guys at the AOFR gig- i shoulda brought my camera for some great pics, but i forgot :( it was AWESOME

finally...

due to pressure from certain people, *cough* oli *cough*, here is a few blurry, poorly composed pics from the lurking hole's mighty '07 future easter freakout. if you can figure it out, theres shots of dead sea fuckin scrolls, frightener and Army of Flying Robots.

colour fields

i project ive been working on sparsely for the last few months has been my 'colour fields' series. the aim is to show how a specific visual medium influences the information which it displays. to achieve this i photographed a CRT monitor displaying solid blocks of colour, and then blew up sections of the image to show how the monitor distorts the tone and brightness, and leaves bands in the image as it refreshes. other works in the series have looked at images taken of colours projected through a data prjector. the work has taken the form of slideshows and large format printouts. the aim is to suggest that the outlets which feed us information are not merely passively displaying it, but also altering it.

unfortunately to really get a good feel for the images, they have to be blown up quite large, so naturally this isnt the best context for them...

a word about my blog

mmm this blog hasnt really been exactly what i planned for. initially i viewed it as some kindof online portfolio- place to direct people who wanna check out my work. alas, due to ongoing problems relating to condensing/uploading massive video files, not much of my actual uni work has been shown on here, instead its serving as a form of photo blog. i cant lie- this will probably continue, but with a bit of luck therell be some videos and sound up here soon, and you guys can get an idea of what i actually do...


what the heck, heres what ive been listening to:

beirut- the gulag orkestar
capricorns- ruder forms survive
terry riley-les yeux fermes & lifespan
kevin drumm- sheer hellish miasma
bruce springsteen- nebraska

last of the glasto images

a special one here, folks- a panaramic, badly stitched photograph of our campsite on wednesday before the collective horror of the wind and the rain reduced it to a quagmire...

click for a good view, and try and ignore the shifts in colour as my camera died.
