You’ll feel as though you’ve taken a few tabs after watching this strangely edited/remixed clip of Captain K on a voyage to the great beyond.

Ken Murphy is capturing a year’s worth of timelapse sequences from atop San Francisco’s exploratorium – seen above is the first 42 days of his project -
“The earliest day is in the upper left, and consecutive days follow left to right, then down, with the most recent day in the lower right. It starts a little before sunrise, so it’s dark for the first few seconds:
Keep in mind that all of the days are synchronized, so at any given moment, you’re looking at the sky at the exact same time of day for each of the panels. The cascading effect at sunrise and sunset is caused by the variations in day length.”
Brilliant wall-animation done by Sam3 during his exhibition in San Jose, CA. Love the music in conjunction with the watercolor-esque imagery, reminds me of something that should’ve come out of the 60s.
Refreshing a good one from earlier this summer. What could you say in 42 seconds? That was the idea behind the 42 Second Dream Film Festival. Amongst the entries is this one by Chris Milk with the description

L.A.-based, world-renowned experimental noise pop duo No Age will appear live at the Cinefamily to perform their brand-new score for Jean-Jacques Annaud’s majestic 1988 film The Bear, a near-wordless cinematic expedition deep into the savagery and tenderness of the animal kingdom. Told from the titular species’ point of view, The Bear chronicles the journey of an orphan bear cub and a lone adult bear banding together to avoid two human hunters. Along the way, director Annaud has great fun with the storytelling possibilities from a non-human perspective, including dream sequences and an unforgettable psychdelic mushroom bear trip! With nearly no (human) dialogue, the film easily lends itself to live scoring, and No Age drummer Dean Spunt and guitarist Randy Randall have crafted a shimmering 90-minute set of sonic blasts and delicate textures that perfectly complement the peculiar, touching and altogether unique experience that is The Bear.
Having been to a live-scored Cinefamily film before (Bergman’s Magician) I can vouch that they are a complete and utter treat to behold. Now take one of LA’s more prominent bands in recent years and combine their sonic accompaniments to an epic film from THE PERSPECTIVE OF A BEAR. No better way to spend a Sunday evening I’d say.
Beautifully programmed video showcasing a gold dust particle simulation/interaction — all controlled and created through the live motion captured on the camera. Would love to see this incorporated in a larger live installation.
