Everything Is a Remix (Part One) - Must Watch Documentary

/

via everythingisaremix.info

I’ve often joked with friends that at the rate we are going with sampling, with less and less time between the creation of the original work and the use of it in a sample, that the creative process behind pop music (in particular) is very much a serpent about to eat its tail.

But this short video, 8 minutes, has shown me that this process has been going on for much longer than I knew. We all think our generation invented the tools of cool.

This is a must watch video, and I can not wait to see the next 3 parts.

Making Future Magic: iPad light painting

​

Well, that’s a new way to do stop-motion. Berg strikes again with a technically complicated execution of an idea with a beautiful end result using technology to manipulate light. It is very cool to see the ghost-like glimpses of the animators during the short. Curious to see what other applications they have in mind for this technique.

Ben Cameron: The true power of the performing arts

/
via ted.com

Ben Cameron is a kindred spirit, a cultural omnivore consuming pop culture and art with equal passion. In this talk he eloquently conveys the truth about how important the arts are and what is really happening to arts organizations and artists. These 13 minutes are a must watch for anyone working in the arts. There are many truths he shares that established art makers are ignoring. This talk is the closest to having someone verbalize my philosophy of culture.
