Genis Carreras

Genis Carreras is a graphic designer who released a book called Philographics. On one page there is a school of thought with a brief description, and on the adjacent page there is a minimalist design accompanying it. The idea behind Philographics is that the art is supposed to most of the talking. Here are some examples:

"Diva"

Diva is a French film about an opera singer who doesn't allow her music to be recorded or sold. She only sings live. She reminded me of Taylor Swift. T-Swizzle removed her music from Spotify because she felt that people shouldn't be able to listen to her music for free. It's an interesting parallel.

Dmitry Morozov

Morozov has created a device that analyzes the air and translates it into images like the one above. The green is fresh air and the rest is pollutants in the atmosphere.

Why Are We Here? - Episode 1 - Red vs. Blue Season 1

Red vs Blue is Roosterteeth's most famous series. It is a great example of Art & Technology. They use the Halo games to act out and tell a story.

FART BUTTON - Funhaus Cartoons

Funhaus, based in LA, is a company which is part of a larger production company called Roosterteeth which is based in Austin, Texas. Funhaus is most popular for their gameplay videos. This video is the first of their cartoon series in which they take snippets of gameplay commentary and make animated shorts.

Purity Ring - Begin Again (Live on KEXP)

This live performance is a great example of art and technology working together. Those crystal-shaped things not only play notes when struck, but also light up adding visual appeal.

Daft Punk - One More Time

I like the use of animation in this music video. It's reminiscent of an 80's anime.

A Day To Remember - Right Back At It Again

This music video implements animation to create a conceptual story about the band's journey as musicians.

Thoughts on "Bladerunner"

Bladerunner is an 80's movie based on Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? The movie takes place in 2019 which is only four years away. However, the technology portrayed in the film is far off from current technology. It is almost as if the technology in the Bladerunner universe stopped improving in the 80's.
