Where Science, Art and Photography Intersect
Caleb Charland demonstrates lessons in physics and mathematics with his mind-blowing photography. Inspired by children's books of science experiments, he photographs everyday objects (like matches, pens and mirrors) in ways we've never imagined, often using multiple exposures to tell the story.

The work exists at the boundaries of film/moving image. It encompasses neuroscience, vision, geometry and illusion and is designed to work specifically on the human eye and brain. It is currently being developed as an neuroscientific investigation into aesthetics, patterns and the sublime.
It produces a strong effect in many people - they are often completely mesmerised by the aesthetic qualities of the work and spend a long time with the work.

Unlogo - The Corporate Identity Media Filter
Unlogo is a web service that eliminates logos and other corporate signage from videos. On a practical level, it takes back your personal media from the corporations and advertisers. On a technical level, it is a really cool combination of some brand new OpenCV and FFMPEG functionality. On a poetic level, it is a tool for focusing on what is important in the record of your life rather than the ubiquitous messages that advertisers want you to focus on.
In short, Unlogo gives people the opportunity to opt out of having corporate messages permanently imprinted into the photographic record of their lives.

challenging experience.

In this installation YesYesNo teamed up with The Church, Inside Out Productions and Electric Canvas to turn the Auckland Ferry Building into an interactive playground. The job was to create an installation that would go beyond merely projection on buildings and allow viewers to become performers, by taking their body movements and amplifying them 5 stories tall. We used 3 different types of interaction - body interaction on the two stages, hand interaction above a light table, and phone interaction with the tracking of waving phones. There were 6 scenes, cycled every hour for the public.

Kinetic Typography
For Paul Rand's posthumous induction into The One Club's Hall of Fame for 2007, Imaginary Forces created a short film, combining original animation with a videotaped interview of Rand himself, that encapsulated his unique and timeless contribution to the design community.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (end title)
Working closely with Rob Cohen, the design team composed scenes similar in style to a graphic novel, building tension and transitions using brushstroke silhouettes of recognizable characters from the film, with 3D models provided by Rhythm & Hues and Digital Domain. Master calligrapher T.Z. Yuan was also consulted for the ink brush writing, to achieve a level authenticity amidst the fantastical elements of the film. The sequence was built around the Chinese calligraphy of the five elements -- water, wood, earth, metal and fire.

Hexstatic Exactshit video mashups
'Exactshit' and 'Now That’s What I Call Exactshit DVD 2' are bootleg mashup DVDs released by Hexstatic. Exactshit is an anagram of Hexstatic. Featuring samples of popular hit songs, only 200 copies of Exactshit were made available at the Big Chill Music Festival 2003 and from the Ninja Tune online store. It has since been more broadly distributed through online file sharing. In late 2006, a second DVD, Now That's What I Call Exactshit DVD 2 was released. The album was widely praised by music critics.

The Origin: The Art, Design and Code of Patrick Gunderson
A point is a location in space. Points are dimensionless. That is, a point has no width, length, or height. We locate points relative to some arbitrary standard point, often called the "origin".

Flash Math Creativity: Second Edition
Flash Math Creativity is a book of iterative experiments—generative design. It's a showcase of the fifteen authors' experiments. The book will explain how these work and how you to can experiment further yourself. Each author does four experiments. Each experiment takes up four pages. We give you the code and explain the essence, then you take away your inspiration and run with it. The purpose of the book is to learn through experimentation because you are inspired to do so, not because someone is telling you to do so.

The EyeWriter Initiative
Tony Quan a.k.a. Tempt One (graffiti writer, publisher, and activist) was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) in 2003, and is now almost completely paralyzed, despite having full mental faculties. Enter the Not Impossible Foundation and their new Eyewriter project. They programmed custom, open-source freeware that can track eye movements, allowing Quan and others to write and even draw using only an eye, a computer, free software, and about $50 in parts (including a modified PlayStation Eye).

The Third & The Seventh
A FULL-CG animated piece that tries to illustrate architecture art across a photographic point of view where main subjects are already-built spaces. Sometimes in an abstract way. Sometimes surreal.
