Here is the trailer for “Empire” a nyc bike film. It premeired at the 2010 Bicycle Film Festival.
I am currently helping them with the dvd, that will be out… at some point, when it is finished. (aka tbd). Check them out at
This is a video about people having fun riding track bikes and fixed gears in the city. The song used is “Fractured Skies” by Parts and Labor. http://www.partsandlabor.net. Be sure to visit our site at http://www.empirebegins.com regularly once we launch the riders blog.

I am participating as part of BOS. I will have a new installation – or a very heavily modified (and completely rreprogrammed) version of a previous installation if you want to look at it that way. I will also be showing some photography, my commercial motion graphics work and some (new to anyone in nyc, but quickly starting to feel very old looking at the date) live a/v recordings and vj material.

This is a evolution of a previous installation i did using 2 laptops & 2 copies of gridpro – using it’s video analysis to control the delay of the live feed. the initial idea being, that there is a projection presented as a live video feed but the more you move the less real time the image is.
I built this using quartz composer so it could be turned into a fx plug for vdmx – or more likely making an fx plug from the image analysis part of it. theres some math interpolation i would like to try to see if i could get to be exponential not linear, but otherwise feels done. if i were to have it installed longer than a day, it would be nice to make it a more presentable as well.
The processing take live video feed. I used vade’s optical flow plug into detect motion (looks like the key to my use is the diffrencing of the new/old image. I do an over all average of the optical flow patch and feed it to a imgpixel to get a luminance value. this value controls a video dely and cross faded between the live image and delayed/frozen image. It also controls the vol, temp and pitch of a synthesizer instrument in garage band via midi.
(from my proposal for the 2nd installation)
Description:
The installation consists of one projection of a live camera feed using nightshot/infrared mode converted to b&w. This feed is fed through long delay (est 1-1.5 min) and real time effects. Activity in the room / on the camera dynamically controls the length of the delay, amount of visual echo and volume of the sound. More motion turns up the effects and sound. Less motion turns down the effects and sound.

Here is an edited video showing the work I did for IBM’s Smarter planet exhibit within Epcot’s Innoventions center. It went live at the end of Jan 2010.
(the white flashes are the edit points, the full video was about 6min’s long and loops)
This video is edited to show my portion of a globe animation for IBM’s pavilion at Disney Epcot.
