Water Installation

I really thought this video was interesting. This is an installation by Grzegorz, what he did was use water to create a 3D effect of a hologram. I thought it was really brilliant. In addition, he also used video editing to create the animations for the hologram. The animation is based on the beginning, to modern man.

The Alphabet of Gaming

I thought this video on gaming was fantastic. This video focuses on game titles and runs down the list from A-Z. What I also enjoyed was the music and the nostalgia of gaming scenes. I thought this was an interesting video, in relations to multimedia, because it correlates with video design. Video can range from fiction and non fiction, and people can just make a video out of digital design as well.

Pumpktris

Since today is Halloween, I decided to post something related to the season. I then found Pumpktris. Pumpktris is a pumpkin that is infused with the awesome tetris mechanics. All with the use of heat-shrink tubing, solder, 128 LEDs, eight AA batteries, an Arduino board and clever programming to bring this creation to life. The game is then controlled by the top of the pumpkin. I thought this was a great concept when talking about art, science, and technology because it uses all of the above to create an outstanding piece of work. Have a great Halloween!

Scratch This Portrait

SCRATCH HERE BEFORE READING

What you have scratched is a portrait by Picasso. Picasso, " Women Ironing", was said to contain a hidden portrait of Picasso's earlier artwork. This was found in 1989, with the help of inferred. Recently, this portrait was restored and now it is at the museum in new york. I decided to post about this portrait because I thought this find was amazing, to bring to life a forgotten image. It makes me wonder what other secrets lay within other footage, artwork, and gaming software. You might had already read the description of this portrait when you clicked the link, but I thought it is much better to interact with the image instead.

In relations to Multimedia Authoring, I thought it closely relates to video production. Anyways, take a look at some of my favorite videos from Ross Ching.

The Starry Night..On a Vehicle.

Here is an image of "The Starry Night" on a car. I think it is a nice concept to have for a car. This image mixes both technology and art together to create something that you can use and show to people on the road. I just thought the car looked great with the image of the "The Starry Night". I thought the painting looks about right and it really blends well with the look of the car. I think this is definently art, even though its from Van Gogh, this person is showing the world Van Gogh's art.

A College Course: Study Skyrim

Rice University, In Huston Texas is apparently holding a course called, "Scandinavian Fantasy Worlds: Old Norse Sagas and Skyrim". This is a junior level course which focuses on comparing the mythologies of old Scandinavian to modern fantasy, basically, why people today correlate to Scandinavian mythology in popular culture. Personally, having a class like this would be great to have at WSU. I think the concept is interesting because it is exploring a new form of study that is found in gaming.
