Video Art

We're going into the darkroom today... to work on some digital photos. Actually, we're using the darkroom to do some light painting. I posted a few light painting links before, and just found this great video. Its getting me pretty inspired to make some of my own light painted photographs:

...now in animated form. Check out this powerful video from artist Seth Brau:

Just about all my favorite websites have already posted this video, but if you haven't seen it yet, give it a look and you'll see just why it has been so popular.

This one's for you, David. Yet another example of how Star Wars is a metaphor for everything. How does it relate to Art Education? Watch and be educated.-rey rey

We've finally finished! This rotoscoped animation is the result of a collaboration between more than 80 students from 11 schools in 4 countries around the world.

We apologize for the Blog Silence but we've got the Shanghai Film Fest coming up, which coincides with our big premier of our Rotoball Project. We're very excited, keep watching this space!

The Guggenheim: New York is one of my favorite museums in terms of layout and space. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the gallery winds its way up the sides of an inverted cone which is open in the center. Its even more impressive to see that space transformed through installation. Such was the case with the Nam June Paik retrospective in 2000.

One of my first real engagements with Video Art was the Bill Viola retrospective at the Whitney Museum

Film and Video artists These Artists often get overlooked in a study of Art History, shifted at best to tangents and footnotes. However, as more emphasis is placed on integrating the medium of the 21st century the importance of looking at this genre becomes more apparent. Most of our interaction with the moving image is limited to fiction, non-fiction, and advertising - and so there is always some message or idea that the video or film serves. In this art form, however the viewer is invited to experience a moving image in a variety of new ways, from moving painting to installation.
