Weird Fishes/Arpeggi
December 7th, 2011Just last month, BUG presented “BUG: Radiohead” – a special show dedicated to one of the world’s beloved bands, including appearances from band members Jonny Greenwood and Colin Greenwood. Featured in the show was aWLp’s Tobias Stretch’s “Weird Fishes/Arpeggi.” The video was an entry into a 2008 competition which invited members of animation website, Aniboom, to create music videos for tracks from In Rainbows. Stretch created extraordinary lifesize puppet-sculptures, and animated them using stop-motion, against the glorious setting of the Appalachian mountains in Pennsylvania. It took over five months of Stretch’s singlehanded endeavor to complete it. If you haven’t seen the video, check it out here.
Fresh Flowers
December 5th, 2011As one of the most important and influential living artists of our time, who else better than David Hockney to test the artistic boundaries using our favorite toys, iPhones and iPads, to create paintings and then using the very same devices (well, iPods instead of iPhones) to exhibit his latest works. Hockney first derived his method in 2008, using the Brushes app to create finger-drawn images to email to his friends. Premiering at the Institute for Contemporary Culture at the Royal Ontario Museum, now through Jan 1. For more info, click here.
