this video happened to catch my eye walking past a friend's desk!  i could sit and watch this for hours (due to school, i've calculated many minutes, approaching an hour - but best believe i will return again and again to this clip!)


view here.... the embed didn't work for some reason.  but seriously, do yourself a favor. take a break and make on more click!


a camera attached to the outisde of the international space station captures some riduculously amazing imagery of cityscapes illuminating darkness, storm systems dancing across the arc of the horizon, and the most spectacular dance of the aurora borealis i have ever seen!


serious props to ron garan, michael konig and crew!

for brief 4 @ gsapp we're charged with designing a climatology lab for a group of 10 scientists and a whole host of spaces for public interaction. the site is in the shadow of the brooklyn bridge near pier 17 on the old peck slip. it's offering up untold treasures of texture, context, potential and inspiration. hard edges, long shadows, people milling about everywhere, rusted metal, driftwood, more more more to come.

ps. great job everyone. it's going to look killer. updates to come...

2A_EM FINALLY GOES TO VIDEO!

Finally recieved my new HV40. Heres an sample of what it can do, footage was taken roughly a month ago.

PS: learning premiere/workflow was a real pain in the butt....

big bang, big boom

i really enjoy this artist's work. this is not the first example to show up on 2A_eM... the dedication still blows my mind. ten months since the last video, big bang boom showed up on vimeo yesterday and getting tons of love.

the wall murals really start to interact nicely with the found object sculptures in concert with time lapse photography.

described as: "an unscientific point of view on the beginning and evolution of life... and how it could probably end." it reminds me of pearl jam's music video; do the evolution - from way back in '98.

enjoy:

stop motion_ possibilities

great stop motion animation by rob carter, an artist who implements stop motion animation and large format photgraphy into his works..

q: what would le corbusier's la tourette monestary look in high gothic drag? question answered.

Stone on Stone [CLIP] from Rob Carter on Vimeo.

humorous, and stunning...
and the artist's site has great depth.

shigeru ban

here's a quick little video i stumbled upon. brought to us by L|studio [lexus]
it interviews architect shigeru ban and hits on everything from furniture design to student projects, current works and remarks on his innovative paper tube structures.
there's information containing his conceptual thinking, his process, and his motivations.

the video merely touches on some of the architect's concepts and ideation... it's an advertisement, but still really interesting

there will be a flood of new posts in the next fews days... weeks... however long it takes me. i've been without the internet for the last few weeks.

kicking it off. i stumbled upon an artist doing some really nice time lapse videos. combining graffiti style, with outrageous dedication and collaboration. here's a taste of some of the recent work:

check out the sketchbook as well. the images are provocative if not disturbing. their is also a great gallery of large scale work.
