Here’s a video of Mike D giving you a tour through the exhibition.

And here’re some of my favorite artworks.

This video installation by Ben Jones is just amazing, I want this in my living room. BTW, that’s me there.

This installation by Ara Peterson & Jim Drain was made of many many pinwheels. Very mesmerizing.

A very nice neon installation by Peter Coffin.

The headliner of the opening night was Santigold. Fun!

As I mentioned before, the whole event is basically a Mercedes-Benz sponsored event and they were also the people who invited me. So they took the opportunity to show their new Mercedes-Benz Concept Style Coupé. Well, you can definitely tell it’s Mercedes-Benz and that it’s a show car. For me the most interesting part about the car, was its turn lights, which have some sort of kinect mexican-wave effect. I must give Mercedes-Benz some credit for being not all too in the foreground. The car itself has it’s own space in the exhibition and in the outside area there’s a huge Mercedes star hanging from some golden chains. A nice touch by Mike D, referring to his previous love for a different German car brand.

A bubble is brief, and bursts at your touch. But while it lasts, it catches the light and reflects the room like a multi-coloured temporary structure. We wanted to create a constantly changing lamp that combines the most ephemeral of lampshades with an LED light source that will last for 50000 hours. In the time it takes the LED to burn out, the lamp will have had 3 million different globe shades.

Just watch the video!

Here’s the same lamp, but they added smoke to the soap bubble …

“Alternated Gradients” is combination of 5 videos of the screensaver “Spectrum”. BTW, he also has this screensaver as his desktop wallpaper.

“ctrl tab torus” is an animation created by using the ctrl + tab keys in Photoshop to cycle through the open windows.

“Twist Choreography” – the effect is just created by opening text files from the dock.

“Open_Close.txt – Default – this one is similar to the last one, just that each file opens as a colored square.

10 days ago I attended Resonate, a new media festival in Belgrade (Serbia). It were 2 intense days of talks, workshops, discussions, performances … I finally had the chance to meet and see a lot of people who have been featured here on today and tomorrow, but also discovered some new interesting minds. I don’t want to pick out anything in particular, you had to be there. But I’ll definitely show some work by the speakers in the next couple of weeks.
This quote from an article on the Guardian sums it up perfectly: “Great festivals don’t have ‘themes’ – the best assemble interested folk and hopefully allow them to exchange ideas.”
See you next year in Belgrade!

Here’re a few Instagram shots by me. You can find more photo in the Resonate Flickr account.

As part of his residency at Eastern Michigan University, he’s teaching a course called Art and Hacking where he had the students create their own Propulsion Paintings as their first project. Below are the results:
