stencil stumbling

August 30, 2009 | Bureaucracy 23, 3175 | 4:12

lucy and me were curious about the treasure hunt the prototypen set up at their awesome annual betriebsausflug in the forest outside of berlin. we staggered through sticks and bushes, from one enciphered hint to the next and eventually found the treasure…

…so the prize we won is a street art stencil of us, based on a photo shot the next morning, hungover and quite spaced out.

really cool! thanks prototypen!

cranky frames per second mayhem

July 7, 2009 | Confusion 42, 3175 | 19:47

i watched the sequel of Crank last night, without any expectations in quality and plot - but i was stunned! the video camera work is faster and shakier with fast cuts and beautiful fish-eye sequences - like a music video of aphex twin or squarepusher. the music is hysteric and ingenius with cranky sound effects and a more than fitting musical selection. all in all it’s a fine piece of 90min video-art with adrenaline and testosterone overdose…

the flick is peppered with graphical elements and typographic delicacies, live-visuals style kaleidoscope effects and colors and contrast always crisp to the max. there are psychedelic sequences, illustrated sequences, super8-aestetics, a really absurd long shot tribute to godzilla movies.

the characters are exaggerated comic heroes reminding me a lot of robert rodriguez archetypical figures. couldn’t be better! the appearance of david carradine as a life-craving horny old chinese triad gangster drooling over busty young whores is hilarious considering his current absurd death.

if you have strong nerves, are used to bloody gore mayhem, explicit language with funny brit accent and a b-movie fan, video or VJ art geek, you will definetly enjoy this flick as much as i did.

5 out of 5 stars!

having read fAlk’s nice article about the faderfox DJ2 and about the problems of using the endless dial knobs with VDMX, i reacted to his question whether this would somehow be possible to solve. i created this little application with max that translates the endless dial’s signals to OSC messages which can be sent to VDMX5. fAlk created a nice splash-screen and manual for it. there may be more proto:flux projects coming in the future…stay tuned…
