The hectic laboratory visual department research.

Flickr user Ken Fager decided to test out an Apple II monitor by connecting it to their PS2 and seeing what Rez looks like it monochrome. Pretty good, as it turns out.

Phi-Based Universe. Phi day is upon us again, for those who note today’s date in the format 3/14 (March 14). The Golden Ratio, represented by the Greek letter ‘Phi’, is said to be is a mathematical connection between two aspects of an object. It can be artificially used – for example, some 20th century artists used it for the rectangular shape of their portraits from the long side to the short side. They believed that the ratio created an aesthetically pleasing appearance. But the ratio is not just artificially created – it is apparently found through nature in the stems of plants, skeletons of animals and so on. And the shape of spirals also seem to follow the Golden Ratio. This suggests that geometric shapes in the Universe ultimately succumb to this mathematical property. ‘A convincing case for assuming a Cosmic character of the Golden Ratio can be made based on the ubiquity of logarithmic spirals,’ the researchers write. ‘Spectacular examples include the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51), ammonites, the shape of Nautilus shells, Hurricane Katrina and the distribution of planets, moons, asteroids and rings in the solar system.’ The researchers suggest that the reason that this ratio is so ubiquitous is that it is actually a property of Space-Time. ‘The argument that this amazing consilience (self-similarity) arises from a common environmental constraint, which can only be an intrinsic feature of curved Space-Time, is compelling,’ they write. ‘The time has come to recognise that relativity and quantum theories can be integrated, and linked numerically to the value of a mathematical constant - whether in the context of Space-Time or biology’. Quite why the Universe follows this rule, however, is not known.

We all know that Gekidan Inu Curry are the wonderful animation artists that designed Madoka Magica in the formal sense. They are influenced  by the inspirational art of Russian and Czech stop-motion filmmakers and a lot of avant-garde trends too. For instance, Mitakihara Middle School was based on Justice Center Leoben.

H.N. Elly‘s barrier is a world full of tv monitors showing a streaming of her victim, and some guilty flashbacks of his/her memory. The concept and design of this art can be found in Nam June Paik’s art. He was an avant-garde visual artist born in Korea, that lived in Japan and had several influence in the media art scene and politics.

Alternative Neural Edit

Latest project from @mario-klingemann employs Neural Networks trained on a collection of archive footage to recreate videos using the dataset.

It is confirmed that no human intervention has occured in the processed output, and it is interesting where there are convincing connections between the two (and where there apparently are none):

Destiny Pictures, Alternative Neural Edit, Side by Side Version 

This movie has been automatically collaged by an neural algorithm using the movie that Donald Trump’s gave as a present to Kim Jong Un as the template, replacing all scenes with visually similar scenes from public domain movies found in the internet archive. 

Neural Remake of “Take On Me” by A-Ha

An AI automatically detects the scenes in the source video clip and then replaces them with similar looking archival footage. The process is fully automatic, there are no manual edits.

Neural Reinterpretation of “Sabotage” by the Beastie Boys

An AI automatically detects the scenes in the source video clip and then replaces them with similar looking archival footage.

There are other video examples at Mario’s YouTube page (but some may not be viewable due to music copyright.

If you follow Mario’s Twitter timeline, you can get updated with the latest examples, and follow the evolution of the project [link]

toco toco - AKI INOMATA, Artist

New season of Japanese Creative profiles at new Archipel home presents artist whose work is concerned with technology and nature, most notably for designing new shells for Hermit Crabs:

AKI INOMATA is contemporary artist whose universe revolves around creating original works with animals and living creatures. Some of her most distinctive work includes building original “shelter” art pieces for hermit crabs or creating pieces of material from clothes to give them to bagworms.

We will follow her to DMM.make AKIBA, a hardware development studio that hosts the latest 3D printers, laser cutters, among other technologies, where INOMATA works on her designs. We will then head over to HUNCH, her studio, before going to Terrada Art Complex, where INOMATA’s work is showcased as part of the Asian Art Award finalists.

INOMATA will tell us more about her views on living creatures and the relationships humans hold with their pets and animals, while on a tour a Intermediatheque, a museum with a focus on natural history born from a collaboration between Japan Post and Tokyo University.
