Simple amazing surreal work from Jeremy Geddes.

I just spent two days here in Oslo at a seminar called visuelt with the theme of fast forward//rewind.
Overall I thought the first day was the best! Eike König from Hort based in Germany gave a very honest and inspiring story of the history of his studio. Joel Lewis from www.hellicarandlewis.com and www.yesyesno.com was very enthused about all new ways of interaction and projection based technology. Siggi Eggertsson from Iceland had his whole speech in a computer voice (very strange!) – not to say his illustration work wasn’t interesting. One more worth mentioning is Joshua Hirsch from Big Spaceship – he talked a lot about making real time for personal projects within his company. I am now officially inspired! See a comprehensive overview here!

There’s been a lot in the world of motion of late to do with data visualization. I think there is something very interesting about taking real-world data and creating art out of it. Onedotzero Festival Identity is a nice example of using tweets to create a nice looking bit of motion. To gather current data (of even real time) that means nothing to most people and then transform it into something that has more meaning to your average joe blog. I really enjoyed the following examples… especially in light of the recent European ash storm!

Mr Doob’s Harmony is really refreshing. Can’t wait to try it out with a wacom.
Here is an example of what you can do...

Here is the start of an idea I came up with a while ago. It’s really a bunch of blogs within a blog – an easy way for me to view and archive my favorite blogs. I have added a simple subscription newsletter that I hope to send the latest two posts from each category. Any feedback on this would be great! Check It out!

Came across this great collection of works be Cris Jordan.
It reminded me of an exhibition of works I saw a while back in Barcelona by Thomas Bayrle.
