Tasty Animation

S Bahn from Zeitbezogene Medien HAW Hamburg on Vimeo.

A seriously nice piece of animation mixed with live footage. Particularly like the little dude trying to get on the seat.

Acrylic On Canvas

I spent this weekend painting. One of my first attempts at canvas art, an abstract female face with some billowing colours spiralling away. It's now on the wall in our living room.

ED: These Strikes Are Wrong

Ed Miliband giving the same response to every question asked. What a pillock!

Project summary

Baroque.me visualizes the first Prelude from Bach’s Cello Suites. Using the mathematics behind string length and pitch, it came from a simple idea: what if all the notes were drawn as strings? Instead of a stream of classical notation on a page, this interactive project highlights the music’s underlying structure and subtle shifts.

WOW!

Fusion Tables

{ LINK }

With Christmas fast approaching, I'd very much like to request a Fusion Table. So all you multi-millionaires who follow me, please dip into your pockets and give this Christmas. In return i will train an army of woodland animals to protect you and your family.

Dammit, I left the heating on again!

This collection of wooden sculptures is absolutely outstanding. While the digital world strides away finding new amazing ways of portraying images through screens, there are always those in the world who can blow us all away with hand-crafted sculpture of this breath-taking quality.

It is actually hard to get your head round quite what you're seeing, wood that has melted. Hang on, melted? It's like Salvador Dali with a hint of Alice in Wonderland, twisting the knowledge of what you once thought to be certain and unravelling physics into new realms of possibility.

All in all a beautiful and elegant exhibition of quite remarkable talent.

After discovering the iPhone Lens Dial (still think it's ridiculous) the site it's found on is a pretty awesome find. The more expensive gadgets here seem somewhat unnecessary, but some of the smaller, cheaper buys are fantastic. The USB stick, the wristband macro lens, great gifts for those into photography! Now, if only they had a uk site!

Still Waiting for Power Laces...

Possibly the most impractical, bulky, ridiculous, but quirkiest cool accessory for your iPhone.

Move, Learn, Eat

MOVE from Rick Mereki on Vimeo.

EAT from Rick Mereki on Vimeo.

LEARN from Rick Mereki on Vimeo.

3 guys, 44 days, 11 countries, 18 flights, 38 thousand miles, an exploding volcano, 2 cameras and almost a terabyte of footage... all to turn 3 ambitious linear concepts based on movement, learning and food ....into 3 beautiful and hopefully compelling short films..... Move, Learn, Eat.

A beautifully shot triplet of short films evoking the sensations and experiences of travel.

Now you see me...

Ever wanted to hide what you're looking at on your monitor? Well now you can, with a simple DIY-style adjustment and a fair bit of patience, you can make a monitor that can only be seen by wearing a pair of glasses.

The science behind it is in fact very simple. On every LCD screen there is a backlit monitor covered in a polarising filter. By peeling of this polarising filter (simply a film layer attached with a light adhesive) all that can be seen now is a white square. The trick is, the polarising filter can then be used to view the information being displayed.

Glasses are the most immediate and obvious choice, giving one user the information on screen. This has purposes in privacy primarily, but uses can be seen in the future for parental control of the computer, by confiscating the glasses a child would no longer be able stay wasting their life inside in front of a screen. God forbid children might even learn how to interact socially in society.

Art installations and advertising may even see some interesting outcomes for this quirk in technology.
