Slit scan imaging

slitscan sunrise
10 min of sunrise

slit scan sunset
untitled sunset 1

I have recently discovered the joys of digital slit scan imaging. This is nothing new in the world of imaging technology and photography, it has been around for a while. In fact Golan Levin has compiled a great page tracing the history of artists using slitscan imaging. There are also some interesting examples on Flickr. The basic concept is simple, you capture a row or column of pixels from a frame of a video to make one static image that represents a block of time.

I have all this HD video laying around from Systemic Sky so I had to try some experiments. The clouds make great subjects for this technique. 10 min of sunrise has a moving slit that traverses across the video frame as it is recording columns of pixels and reverses direction to capture the sun before and after it passes behind the cloud. I look forward to exploring this process further.

He calls these "drawings," which he has makes and posts daily on his blog (http://chrisashley.net/weblog/). Although the images he makes are typically "abstract" they often reference and allude to the real world. He tries daily to to make something that is beautiful, that is pictorially Interesting, and that responds to or embodies an idea or subject.

Biocollage by Santiago Ortiz

Biocollage by santiago ortiz

Biocollage is a technique for fantastic character's creation based on the combination of paper cutting, drawing and assembling (material collage) with parts digitalization, assemblage and kinetics and behaviour definition based on code writing (digital collage).

On a workshop with 5 to 10 kids, each kid creates one or more characters that will live on the island. While more workshops are done the island will increase its population.

Biocollage creature

The first inhabitants of the island were created at La Laboral Art Center on 1st and 2nd December of 2007.

Jon McKiel

Jon Mckeil cover

"The Nature of Things" by Canadian singer/songwriter Jon McKiel and his band is a great indie pop find. Their label emailed me a couple weeks ago to check it out and I did. It is great! The whole record good solid indie pop.

"The Nature of Things" recently won a place on The Coast's "Top 50 Album of 2006" and earned him the title of "Best New Artist", and was recorded by Thom Flowers at Boston's Fort Apache Studio, home to such indie staples as the Pixies' "Come on Pilgrim" and Radiohead's "The Bends". The record was mastered by Noah Mintz (The Dears, Stars, and Broken Social Scene) at Lacquer Channel in Toronto.

On February 12th Jon McKiel will release his "The Nature of Things" on Wednesday Records. 

You can check out "War on You", which can be found at:
