Sunday 28th October film makers and illustrated talks


A selection of motion-image-based work from leading practitioners, including:


Mehil Bilgil: History of the Internet
Developed using his own ‘Picol’ picture-symbol-language, Bilgil’s History of the Internet is a well-researched motion-graphic he produced as an undergraduate. Motion graphics like this amplify the power of information graphics into a powerful explanatory medium. The use of picture symbols in information-design was pioneered by Otto and Marie Neurath in the 1930s, with their Isotype system.


Lab212 Starfield
Starfield uses a Kinect to control your interactive voyage through and across a star-field. Lab212 are an exemplar of creative app developers using position sensors and accelerometers to facilitate natural motion interaction with their 3d apps.


Marius von Brasch: 'Drawing' and 'The Visit'
Two poetic short videos, one dealing with the immediacy and uniqueness of mark making in a recorded timeline, the other with how to tell a story like a 'crystal' that contains different time-layers in one timeline.


Nenad Katic: Spin-Up
The Spanish new media artist Nenad Katic produces interactive apps and games, utilising body motion and accelerometer feedback to provide a state of the art motion interface.


Petros Vrellis: Starry Night
Petros Vrellis has created a simple yet effective interactive animation of Van Gogh’s Starry Night (1889). “A touch interface allows a viewer to deform the image, altering both the flow of the particles and the synthesized sound, and then watch it slowly return to its original state. The sound itself is created using a MIDI interface to create a soft ambient tone out of the movement of the fluid that underscores the soft movement. Beauty through simplicity at its finest and most playful.”


Liam Birtles+Squidsoup: Glowing Pathfinder Bugs
Glowing Pathfinder Bugs, an interactive art project primarily aimed at children, uses projection to visualise virtual bugs on a real sandpit. The bugs are aware of their surroundings and respond to its form in their vicinity. By changing the shapes and forms in the sand, the bugs’ environment is altered in real time, creating a direct form of communication between virtual bugs and real people.


Russell Richards + Maurice Owen: KickiT VisuoSonic
The VisuoSonic team develop interactive performances featurung realtime generated imagery that is responsive to live jazz.



Chris Milk: The Wilderness Downtown
This breakthrough work, built by Milk and his colleagues at Google, features multi-window story-telling,  with additional realtime flocking algorithms, and user-input to demonstrate how to create an interactive movie using a combination of personalised user-input and ready-made components drawn from Google Maps, Google StreetView, html 5 video, audio and canvas.
