SYNOPSIS:

In conventional 3d animation, such as we see in Hollywood movies, CGI figures are controlled by a sort of virtual "skeleton" or armature. Each "bone" of the skeleton influences a set of the vertices and polygons that make up the 3d model. For example, if the animator moves a particular "bone" all the polygons that make up the model's foot will also move. However, experimental artists are rarely satisfied with the conventional use of these tools. In this case, I rigged the virtual skeleton in odd ways .. for example, the "bone" that affected the position of the foot could also be made to have a degree of influence over the position of the hand or head. The result is a wildly distorted "dance" in which impossible movements and postures occur, but in which, nevertheless, there is a subtle coordination between the extremities.

SYNOPSIS:

We are "programmed" to respond to the human face. It is the visual stimuli to which infants first react. The image of the face holds its power over us even when it undergoes extreme distortions in form and color. In fact, that power to hold our attention may be amplified by those very distortions. This video is an exploration of those possibilities.
