Thoughts and words from the network

https://33.media.tumblr.com/f1dcd6580c63cb329ddcb28ab928bd0e/tumblr_nudkei2DVc1uz2pboo1_540.gif






















Era una mula con la testa di donna
di Marcia Theophilo,
i capelli fluenti,
sapeva parlare con i morti, scuoteva i capelli
come solo un cavallo può fare. Ma
continuava a girare la testa di donna
sul corpo di mula che non si poteva fermare.
La furia le muoveva i capelli.
Correva disperatamente tra i morti,
in piena notte, nitrendo.
Quando ebbe scaricata tutta la sua ira, e fu stanca,
Yací s’avvicinò,
le dette un po’d'acqua che lei sorbì a grandi sorsi.
Quasi piangeva, i capelli arruffati
erano pieni di terra,
i rami avevano graffiato profondamente il suo viso.
Yací le lavò il viso, e vide i suoi occhi accesi
d’una visione remota, inaccessibile. Si ricompose.
Io voglio il mio canto
tra il sole e le stelle,
ricorda tutti i giorni 
che l’onda è la mia forma.

Zbig Rybczynski - Танго (Tango)


















Танго (Tango), by Zbigniew Rybczyński (1980)

by 

The experimental short video shows thirty-six characters interacting in one room, moving in loops just like alienated monads. Winning of an Academy Awards in 1983, this almost artisanal work inspired later well-known short music videos directors (Michel Gondry for Kylie Minogue’s Come in to My World, Garth Jennings for R.E.M.’s Imitation of Life, Mark Kohr for Green Day’s Redundant — information from No Fat Clips)
Zbigniew Rybczyński, polish filmaker, pioneer of digital animation and HDTV techniques, recalls of the making-of of his work:
“I had to draw and paint about 16.000 cell-mattes, and make several hundred thousand exposures on an optical printer. It took a full seven months, sixteen hours per day, to make the piece. The miracle is that the negative got through the process with only minor damage, and I made less than one hundred mathematical mistakes out of several hundred thousand possibilities. In the final result, there are plenty of flaws, black lines are visible around humans, jitters caused by the instability of film material resulting from film perforation and elasticity of celluloid, changes of colour caused by the fluctuation in colour temperature of the projector bulb and, inevitably, dirt, grain and scratches.”
(Zbig Rybczynski –Looking to the Future – Imagining the Truth,” in FranÐois Penz, Maureen Thomas, Cinema& Architecture. Mþliús, Mallet-Stevens, Multimedia, BFI, London, 1997 )
I would love to see the following diagrams in a larger format. Anyone?

UPDATE:
Thanks from Juan Campanini, we have now two larger diagrams more:






















Roger Noake, describing Tango:
“In Tango, Rybczynski exploits this concept of the single offscreen space by filling it with a plethora of actions. It soon becomes obvious that such a small space, that of a small room, could not possibly contain all the actions taking place. Rybczynski also makes critical use of off-screen space, exposing it for the artifice it is. Off-screen space is the imaginary area beyond the edge of the screen, and in front of or behind the camera. There are a number of ways through to off-screen space in Tango – a window and a door in the back wall, doors on either side of the room, and cupboard which also has its uses. Rybczynski orchestrates his entrances and exits with great precision.” (Roger Noake, Animation Techniques, Secaucus, Chartwell Books Inc., 1988.)

Marcel Duchamp

Anémic Cinéma


Anémic Cinéma è un film d'avanguardia del 1926 dell' Artista Marcel Duchamp
con la collaborazione di Man Ray.


Il titolo del film è un doppio anagramma. Il "cinema anemico" era un cinema privo di senso svuotato, in linea con le idee sovversive del dadaismo. 
Il fatto che però venne girato dopo la fine del movimento (che si sciolse spontaneamente nel 1923) lo pone a metà strada tra le avanguardie e il cinema "puro", forse ascrivibile al movimento surrealista.

Il film però, contrariamente al titolo, non è debole, anzi ha la forza di stordire lo spettatore. Leggere le frasi scritte risulta molto difficile, ma quando ci si riesce ecco che il loro senso si rivela beffardo, tipico dell'artista dissacratore.


Il film non ha trama, è composto da una serie di dischi ottici rotanti, alcuni con immagini ipnotiche (cerchi non concentrici, spirali), altri con frasi in francese scritte a spirale. 
I dischi in movimento sono in tutto diciannove, dieci composti da figure geometriche e nove con frasi senza senso ("Rotorilievi"), quali giochi di parole e scioglilingua.


Le frasi scritte sono:

  1. Bains de gros thé pour grains de beauté sans trop de Bengué.
    Bagni di tè grosso per chicchi di bellezza senza troppo Bengué (Bengué o BenGay era un analgesico inventato dal dottore francese Jules Bengué).
  2. L'enfant qui téte est un souffleur de chair chaude et n'aime pas le chou-fleur de serre chaude.
    Il bambino che poppa è un soffiatore di carne calda e non ama il cavolfiore di serra calda
  3. Si je te donne un sou me donneras tu une paire de ciseaux?
    Se ti do un soldo mi darai tu un paio di forbici?"
  4. On demande des moustiques domestiques (demi-stock) pour la cure d'azote sur la Cote d'Azur.
    Si chiedono delle zanzare domestiche - mezzo stock - per la cura d'azoto sulla Costa Azzurra
  5. Inceste ou passion de famille, à coups trop tirés.
    Incesto o passione di famiglia, tirati a colpi eccessivi
  6. Esquivons les ecchymoses des esquimaux aux mots exquis.
    Schiviamo i lividi degli eschimesi con squisite parole
  7. Avez vous deja mis la moëlle de l'épée dans le poële de l'aimée?
    Avete già messo il midollo della spada nella vasca dell'amata?
  8. Parmi nos articles de quincaillerie paresseuse, nous recommandons le robinet qui s'arrête de couler quand on ne l'écoute pas.
    tra i nostri articoli di ferramenta sfaccendata, raccomandiamo il rubinetto che smetta di colare quando non si ascolta
  9. L'aspirant habite Javel et moi j'avais l'habite en spirale.
    L'aspirante abita a Javel e io ho avuto l'abitato in spirale

Chiude il film la didascalia "copyrighted by Rrose Sélavy 1926". Rrose Sélavy è lo pseudonimo in abiti femminili di Duchamp

Blooming Zoetrope Sculptures by edmark



This instructable demonstrates and explains a number of different sculptures that animate when they are spun and lit by a strobe light (or are captured by a video camera with a very fast shutter speed).
Let's look at a few examples:What you are viewing in each of videos is a solid 3D printed sculpture spinning at 550 RPMs while being videotaped at 24 frames-per-second with a very fast shutter speed (1/2000 sec). The rotation speed is carefully synchronized to the camera's frame rate so that one frame of video is captured every time the sculpture turns ~137.5º—the golden angle*. Each petal on the sculpture is placed at a unique distance from the top-center of the form. If you follow what appears to be a single petal as it works its way out and down the sculpture, what you are actually seeing is all the petals on the sculpture in the order of their respective distances from the top-center. Read on to learn more about how these were made, and why the golden angle is such an important angle.

*Note: the exact value for the golden angle is irrational. Here it is to five decimal places: 137.50776º
