Viktor Vicsek

Well I felt on the profile of Viktor Vicsek on LeCollagisteVJ and let me tell you, this guy have talent.

In the next video you will see what we call mapping... It some thing I'm preparing to make with broken LCD screen... but it an other project and I'll give you more informations on that during the summer. Anyway, for now I suggest to have a look at the Vimeo's page of this VJ. His creation are well made and well synchronize. I choosed only two videos but feel free to watch the others 12 if you want more.

The first clip is, as I said, the real definition of Mapping in the VJ world.

Of course, it a lot more than you will see. The adjustement and calculation have to be really precise and it almost more Math than Art.

The second video is more like what I'm doing or try to do. Those Samples are made with a software call vvvv. This soft is amazing and kinda hard to learn but I will talk about that later.

You can also have a look at NeonEdge.

RIP: A remix manifesto

A friend and colleague send me a documentary about copyright and remix culture. Let me tell, it really well made. The subject is really interesting, and the argumentation is strong. They chose Girl Talk as the major artist since he make mash-up from a lot of pop song. And as you will see these songs do not belong to him. Every sound may be copyrighted? Kinda insane...

I suggest every DJ, VJ, and every artists working with numeric stuff to at least have a look at it.

The subject bring the controversy on some companies who used stories and legends of the past to make their reputation and now claim that we cannot do the same thing. For those who grow with Napster like me and saw the imposition of the new laws, it interesting to see how human manage to lock his own cultural evolution.

You will find all the credit for the movie on the National Film Board of Canada web site
