"Motivated by the pursuit of the new, creative research and development are central, leading to self-initiated pieces and unique projects for brands, galleries, collectors and consumers."
They do some amazing work and I would love to get some work experience with them but the problem is they don't really have a fixed studio.
Next week I am going to Glasgow to see the Advanced Beauty, and I am really looking forward to it.
"Advanced Beauty is an ongoing exploration of 18 digital artworks born and influenced by sound, an ever-growing collaboration between programmers, artists, musicians, animators and architects.
The collection is a series of audio-reactive 'video sound sculptures'. Inspired by synaesthesia, the rare sensory experience of seeing sound or tasting colours, these videos are physical manifestations of sound, sculpted by volume, pitch or structure of the soundtrack.
Curated by design studio Universal Everything and musician Freeform, Advanced Beauty is an international collaboration, taking in a family of artists from London, Russia, New York, Japan, Buenos Aires, Glasgow to San Francisco."
worst fight ever! glitched up
First test using the datamoshing technique. Although its called using compression artefacts according to David O'Reilly.
"First of all, datamoshing is an extremely lame title for the effect, it’s another attempt at branding a basic technique as something new and edgy, there really is nothing hardcore about removing keyframes from a video file. The title is and always has been using compression artefacts."

Its a process where about you mash the moving frames of a video to create a really weird colourful mess, which has a really nice aesthetic to it.
This is the video where Mr kanyeezy was inspired.

And this is how you do it
I'm going to have a go at it right after I finish writing what feels like a million words.

Brief no.2
I was given a brief to do some designs for t-shirts the brief is quite open all i have to do is use the logo. And they might go in n-dubz new music video doubt it though.
Rationale:
(Why are you doing it? How does it fit with your own sense of development? What is your particular interest in this area?)
HoodTwinz is an up and coming clothing label, that is in need of designs for t-shirts.
Context:
(Where does the project fit in the real world?)
The t-shirts will be made with my designs and sold.
Brief:
(What exactly are you/is somebody else expecting you to do?)
Create t-shirt designs, must use current HoodTwinz logo somewhere on the T-shirt.
Partners/Key Stakeholders:
(Who else has an involvement or interest in what you are doing?)
The person I am designing them for and the people whom will be purchasing the clothes.
Outcomes:
(What exactly will you have, or will have happened, at the end of your project?)
I will have produced designs that can be printed on t-shirts.
Measures of success/evaluation strategy:
(How will you know how successful you have been? You can’t evaluate effectively unless you know what your aims were.)
If my designs are good enough to be used for the final product I will have succeeded with the brief. I can further know the success with the number of sales made.
Research:
(What do you need to find out to help you deliver the project?)
• Audience
• Current t-shirt designs for streetwear
• What can be printed on to a t-shirt

Live briefs.
Main brief
Rationale:
(Why are you doing it? How does it fit with your own sense of development? What is your particular interest in this area?)
I want to further develop my skills in Max/Msp/Jitter and create interactive/ controllable moving image. This is a continuation of my learning Cinema 4d and processing for the com-tech brief and a continuation of my interest in interactive media.
Context:
(Where does the project fit in the real world?)
I intend to showcase my visual work with an event at the Hyde Park Social club, alongside other audio and visual art organised by me.
Brief:
(What exactly are you/is somebody else expecting you to do?)
Create interactive/ controllable moving image to be shown at an audio, visual event.
Partners/Key Stakeholders:
(Who else has an involvement or interest in what you are doing?)
Other art students/ people that long for an art school based event(s) of playing music and visuals that you don’t get at other clubs.
Outcomes:
(What exactly will you have, or will have happened, at the end of your project?)
I will have further my skills in Max/Msp/Jitter as well as visual work for my portfolio, and the final outcome will be the event and if successful a continuation of the event.
Measures of success/evaluation strategy:
(How will you know how successful you have been? You can’t evaluate effectively unless you know what your aims were.)
To quantitatively measure it will be the amount of people that turn up at the event, to qualitatively measure the success, will be to see if it fills a need of people wanting a creative audio visual event and wanting something a bit different.
Research:
(What do you need to find out to help you deliver the project?)
• Further learning of Max/Msp/Jitter and c4d
• How to host an event, venue details, hiring sound and projection equipment.
• What problems that can occur on the actual event.
• How other people have done something similar to this and how they did it.
Why is it live?
(How does it meet the live requirement of the brief?)
This is live because it needs an audience to receive it, the visuals need to be seen and the audio needs to be heard. If my skills are good enough with Max/Msp/Jitter I will create interactive pieces which needs and audience. The event is intended for like minded people to do something.
Resources:
(What will you need at every step of the project? Physical space/people/hardware/software/money/transport are all resources to plan for.)
• A venue – Hyde park social club
• People to help me with the night – dj, vj, flyers, posters doors etc.
• Projectors speakers, decks,
• Money – I want entry to be free but it depends on how much renting equipment will cost.

Some more videos...
I have realised that C4d shits all over flash the 3d environment is amazing and the program is not that hard to use if you have a basic understanding of animation and 3d space. Its great for illustration 3d typography and animation. These are a couple more visuals i have done. I want to expand on on both of them and make them longer and loopable and also add materials. Im also tempted to buy a vimeo account because 500mb a week is not big enough.

Quite a useful video I haven't quite got the grips of jitter yet, at the moment I am making the visuals with c4d.

A basic render of a transforming shape in cinema 4d I'm trying to make visuals and I am learning how to animate in c4d in the process, i also intend to learn after effects and use the two together. Also I have a vimeo page which ill update most of my moving image.
