Glastonbury Pi 2008
Image by evan grant
Arts and technology collective seeper baked a giant interactive Pi for the Glastonbury Festival. The filling being the audience.
They asked: “If there is no beginning and no end, then what?” their answer” Pi, Pie or a circle?” In this instant a 16 metre round Big Top tent in the festivals Trash City area, that responds to the motion of the people within it.
Standing inside the Pi people were tracked by cameras and saw a silhouette of themselves on the walls of the space. As they moved photons, plasmas and other particles radiated from them and were sent flying around the space. Their movement also controlled sound as one of a series of instruments. Scratching a beat, playing a bass or strumming strings made the audience not only the filling but also the players, conductors and composers of their own collective Pi.
[ C ] Marc Chagall – L’Âne rouge dans le ciel (Donkey in the red sky) (1965)
Image by Cea.
Painted circa 1965, Marc Chagall’s L’Âne rouge dans le ciel is an exceptionally energetic example of the artist’s visionary, fantastic œuvre. Comprised of visions taken from his mind and his memory, Chagall’s paintings consistently combine floating lovers and flying beasts in magical compositions that exude charm and beauty. Chagall had a passion for dreaming, and his whimsical, folkloric paintings serve as testimony to this. His instinct was to abandon logic to the joy of creation, and as such Chagall’s paintings become an expression of his internal thoughts and feelings rather than objective projections of the outside world.
In the present work, Chagall brings together some of his most celebrated motifs of animals and lovers suspended in a dreamlike setting: winged beasts and floating lovers are depicted soaring through the sky with complete disregard for the forces of gravity. Indeed the composition of this work is so dynamic and the mystical aura so pervading that the viewer is instantly transported into this whimsical world. We are invited to join these mystical characters and experience the magic and mystique of the subconscious. The painting is a visual feast as well as being a testament to the fact that ‘the themes in Chagall’s art are timeless, not confined to a single epoch of history, but reminding man of the continuity of life for generation after generation, since the earliest days of recorded time’.

"In Klankenbos (Sound Forest) contemporary artworks produce sounds. Not only are your ears stimulated, you’d better keep your eyes open as well, for the sound installations are fascinating visual artworks which deserve to be looked at. Thus Klankenbos is a special auditory and artistic open air experience, inviting you along a promenade walk at the Provincial Domain Dommelhof in Neerpelt. With its
ten stationary and three mobile sound installations Klankenbos is quite unique in Europe."

Ok, I had to submit a second edition and delete the first one, as several more portraits were rated and ranked within the last week. So, here is the final portrait review of 2008. It’s fitting that I should post this on New year’s eve. 2009 Promises to be even better in photography for me and I hope you’ll visit my site and see the many updates. Portraits are the focus, but of course, I shoot anything that pays the bills… thank you all for your continued interest and also to those of you who have hired me so many times through 2008.
My 2008 2.5L nissan altima sedan. Only have a fujita intake + stillen catback exhaust, just a somewhat decent clip. It sounds a bit deeper then the video depicts. EDIT:::::::APRIL.4.2010:::::::: This is a VERY old clip, i have tons of extra stuff on my car now, theres a carbon fiber roof spoiler, OE trunk spoiler, stillen HEADERS, stillen front bumper, DEPO black taillights, i have custom projector fogs, avic d3x headunit, etc. I haven’t had time to make new videos so they will be here eventually.
