Magnetic Sphere (audio by Karri O.) from flight404 on
Robert doesn’t know it but he’s inspired a recent UI project over here. We’re really into exploring dimensionality and particle physics and Robert makes both so very beautiful. Of course we can’t share what we are working on yet, but maybe you’ll see it soon. Maybe.
Advanced Beauty 6 of 18 / Directed by Robert Hodgin from Universal Everything on
First, if you don’t have a podcast (free) subscription to the video blog “Advanced Beauty“, get one right now!!! They are releasing 18 gorgeous digital renditions one at a time from various artists including our dreamboat Robert Hodgin. They are on the seventh video and so far all of the videos are great but Robert’s melts our head. Sure we might be biased, so check them out for yourselves and bask in their digital beauty.
We are now stalking Robert Hodgin. This guy is our hero. This 163MB processing video features music by Tosca. The only thing that could possibly make it more beautiful is a stereoscopic display (ya 3D!) Rock on man…Rock on!
I’m not sure if it was the Zoomii Books (thank you Stephanie) hyper-real representation of a bookstore browsing experience mashup created by Chris Thiessen, or the stylish video explorations of Robert Hodgin, but digital is beginning to fuzz the edges of reality for me. We can now create “natural” (beyond multi-touch) interaction metaphors that leverage all of the history and nostalgia of an analog object and then extend the value of that object significantly with digital technology. We create objects that look like they exist but only exist as bits on the digital plane. As we explore this digital reality or rather as it augments ours what happens to traditional constraints. Time? Space?
I need to lay off the sugar cookies after 10.
