We’re so excited to share this video documentation from Stephen Fishman of AMODA and Ryan Padgett of Captive.co from the Loop Mass show that we participatd in last fall. Here’s what they had to say about this amazing project: Loop Mass was a joint effort by the Austin Museum of Digital Art and Captive that was […]
We’ve got a couple events coming up next Friday, August 26th that we’re involved in and very excited about! First, it’s Loop Mass, presented by the Austin Museum of Digital Art and Captive, and featuring over 50 artists who created loops to accompany the live performances of 4 different composers. Such a great idea and […]
We’re so, so in love with these Adventure Time x Twin Peaks mashups that have been making the internet rounds recently. Two of our favorites! First image by Kate Willaert, and the second two are by Mentalguy.
Dangerous Minds posted some of these earlier which sent us down the rabbit hole of the Phenakistoscope, Thaumatrope, and other forms of early movement and animation (one of our favorites is Eadweard Muybridge, whose work we’ve used in our video projections before). Since DM already did such a good job explaining, we’ll just quote them here: “Phenakistoscope” […]

When Butch Webster of Insect Records approached us about creating this video, the only cues he gave were the colors red and blue, water, and a woman’s […]
The last Sunday of this month marks our third and final (for now) film in our Fall Film Series with Charm School Vintage, and we’ve saved one of the most visually decadent and lush films for last. We chose The Color of Pomegranates (Sayat Nova) not only because it is an amazing and moving film, but because […]
Last night we watched the Arthur Russell documentary, Wild Combination, which was one of the sweetest and saddest and most beautiful documentaries I’ve ever seen. I remember the first time I’d ever heard Arthur’s music — I was certain it was something that had been released within the last year, I couldn’t even begin to […]
Speaking of great film — we’re very excited about the new documentary coming out about Alejandro Jodorowsky‘s Dune — perhaps the greatest sci-fi film never created. You can watch a trailer / preview for the documentary below: Also loving the above gorgeous poster, designed by DW Design and released by Mondo. Dang. We want this one […]
