Responsive Energy Responsive Energy, the third installation artwork in the series, explores typefaces in context with space, material and light. In a percussive sequence, bold letter shapes define spatial compositions, melt into tactile surfaces, and form out of dynamic generative processes.

Rocket Wars

in

A war to keep the peace. In the small village of Vrontados on the Greek island of Chios, there is unrest. For over a century, parishioners of two Greek Orthodox churches have engaged in a battle on Holy Saturday, firing more than 100,000 homemade rockets at each other’s churches once the sun goes down. The origin of this tradition is unclear. One theory holds that churches on the island faked a civil war during the Turkish occupation so they could celebrate Easter without being plagued by war. Accordingly the ruse worked, as the Turks kept a safe distance, allowing the villagers to attend Easter Mass.Directed by WeAreVariable.com

The Sound of Taste

in , , ,

"A recently released one-minute video called "The Sound of Taste" gives new meaning to the catchphrase "flavor explosion." This slow-motion video by director Chris Cairns (Grey London) was made as a commercial for a U.K. product called Flavour Shots. Rhythmic pyrotechnics send several colorful tons of black peppercorns, cardamom, turmeric, paprika, cumin seeds, coriander, and more soaring upward in great clouds of spicy fireworks." via
