Bonaroo Promo | Jokelson


[ English ]
This is fantastic, I love it!
A motion promo for the Bonaroo festival in Manchester, Tennessee.
Directed by Elliot Jockelson.
"We made this video using an experimental animation process that utilizes the principals of traditional cell animation (think of a flip book) in a very unique way. By removing the negative space of each cell or frame of animation you are able to see the history of frames before it. For our piece we designed an animation rig that was 19 frames deep, allowing us to see 19 frames of our animation at once."

[ Castellano]
Esto es increible, me encanto!
Una promo animada para el festival Bonaroo en Manchester, Tennessee. Dirigido por: Elliot Jockelson.
"Hicimos el video utilizando una tecnica experimental en el proceso de animacion, utilizando los principios tradicionales en una forma bastante unica. Removimos el espacio negativo de cada celula o cuadro para que se visualizaran los cuadros anteriores que la antecedieron. Por cada pieza de animacion se ven 19 cuadros anteriores, dejando ver 19 cuadros de animacion al mismo tiempo."

10 Most Innovative Concert Visuals '08

After a lot of research and with the help from Accent Feed's readers
I was able to put together a list of some of the 10 most impressive visuals seen in concerts in 2008.

This was not intended to be taken as a competition, or to see who is better than who, I believe you can't measure who is the best band, or who is the best VJ in the world, this is meant to inspire other video artists/ video art lovers, and to spread the word about the importance of video art/ visuals in concerts.

Music: Daft Punk (France)
Video: Corrected on 3.19.09 Martin Phillips, Daft Arts, 8vFX.

Mapping Festival 08 | Sati



[ English ]
I've never heard of Sati till like a month ago, when I saw their Pic Vert piece, now I run into this footage from Mapping Festival and it just looks great. I must mention that according to their Vimeo entry, this footage was shot by AntiVJ, this is not the first time I see them mentioned as a photographer/ videographer focusing on video acts, and they always look amazing. Documenting live acts like this, I believe, is a big part of promoting a project, band or event, and of course VJing!

[ Castellano ]
Nunca habia escuchado de Sati hasta hace un mes atras, cuando pude ver su proyecto Pic Vert , y ahora encontre este video de su actuacion en el Mapping Festival y se ve realmente increible, debo mencionar que, de acuerdo a la descripcion del video en Vimeo, ese video fue tomado por AntiVJ, no es la primera vez que veo videos o fotografias de el (o ellos) documentando la labor de otros video-artistas, y siempre se ven muy pero muy bien. Documentar eventos en vivo como esto, cumple un gran rol en promover un proyecto, banda, o evento y por su puesto Vjing!

Paysages Electroniques 08 | MFO



[ English ]
A little video report by MFO one of our contributors at the
Accenfeed Vimeo Channel. What I like about MFO's work is that is really clean, I notice good use of typography, color combinations, nice illustrations and footage all matching together like it belongs. His video report from the Paysages Electroniques shows exactly that, great editing from the perspective of the visualist, really nice piece. Looks like a great festival too!

Mapping Festival | Geneva


[ English ]
While browsing around the Mapping Festival's site, I saw this documentary of the event that was aired on Swiss TV. While I can only imagine what most of these talented individuals are saying, I can still enjoy the beautiful art that is being showcased, very cool! You may also take a look at these great photos by Stephane Pecorini. I'm dying to have something like this here in San Diego!!!

I was browsing Dan Winckler's Photos when I found a photo with cool pixel display and he was kind enough to point me to the Blip Festival, a four-day celebration of over 30 international artists exploring the untapped potential of low-bit videogame consoles and home computers used as creative tools. Familiar devices are pushed in new directions with startling results.

UVA Live | Buenos Aires



[ English ]
Here is a little clip I found from the OneDotZero festival that took place in Buenos Aires, featuring United Visual Artists.
As usually top notch, one of the many things I love about UVA is that the content is changing depending on where they are performing, I just noticed a lot of information on the screen that features a lot of local (from Argentina) feeds of random information about television networks / sattelite and news.

[ Castellano ]
Aqui un pequeno clip que encontre sobre la presentacion de United Visual Artists en el festival OneDotZero que se llevo a cabo en Buenos Aires hace poquito. Como es de esperar impecable. Una de las tantas cosas que me gustan de los actos de UVA es como cambian el contenido visual, dependiendo de donde esten llevando a cabo su acto, en las pantallas se puede leer lo que pareciera ser informacion sobre programacion televisiva, noticias varias e informacion satelital.

FSOL LIVE @ Essential Festival


[ English ]
I just found this short video from Future Sound Of London performing "LIVE" at the Essential Festival, Brighton in 1997.
I have heard about this show many times, but never actually seen the video, Apparently Brian Dougans & Garry Cobain decided to question de existance of the electronic musician performing at the actual stage, so they decided to do the gig from their production studio and broadcast everything from there. With the help of incredible visuals I think they actually pulled it off.

[ Castellano ]
Acabo de encontrar este fragmento de video de Future Sound Of London tocando en "vivo: en el Essential Festival, Brighton en 1997.
Yo he escuchado mucho de este concierto, pero nunca habia visto video, aparentemente Brian Dougans y Garry Cobain decidieron questionar la necesidad de la existencia del musico electronico en el escenario, por lo que decidieron realizar su acto desde su estudio de produccion, y transmitir desde ahi, al evento. Con la ayuda de increibles visuales yo creo que lo lograron.

Masato Tsutsui | Tokyo


[ English ]
I recently came across with the works of Japanese based visual artist Masato Tsutsui, and I have to say that, what I have seen so far is very impressive; Masato explains: Most of my work is realtime generated trough Max/MSP/Jitter and Open GL technology, as a way to create a representation of an algorithmic virtual-mind space.
If you happen to be near Belgium in November -December 06' you can see some of Masato's works at the Artbot Mai project at the Okno exhibition festival.

[ Castellano ]
Recientemente, decubri los trabajos de Masato Tsutsui un artista visual Japones, I debo decir que me he quedado mas que impresionado con su trabajo. Masato explica: La mayor parte de mi trabajo es generada en tiempo real a travez de Max/MSP/Jitter y tecnologia Open GL, como una forma de crear representaciones algoritmicas de un espacio mental-virtual.
Si de por casualidad estas en Belgica alrededor de Noviembre - Diciembre del '06, podras ver algunos trabajos de Masato en Artbot Mai un proyecto en el festival Okno .
