While watching the Euro 2008 Final, I realized the perverse majesty of listening to a guy with a heavy Scottish accent say the following things:
- “look at him inject the piss into that”
- “you can see the bleeding - may be a couple of quick stitches or the staple gun again”
- “get that blood and stem it from coming out of the eye”
- “he was earlier denied by the woodwork”
Yesterday was a hot and rainy day, and I was at work early for an installation for the upcoming Home Delivery exhibition (if you haven’t checked out the site, do so at moma.org/homedelivery so we can get some extra traffic and I can stay employed).
Yes, the exhibition is closed (the site still lives on: www.moma.org/elasticmind) and now there are a few videos of a walk-through I made for the exhibition:
As part of the installation for Color Chart, volunteers put together a massive piece in the lobby at work. Here’s a short video showing the two weeks of work:
I helped project manage a new website for work (yes, I know that editors think it’s “Web site” but I think that is dumb). Our buddies Sas and Amelle at RenderMonkey did the heavy lifting on the design and development and it looks great (make sure your browser is set at 1024 x 768 or larger). I did the videos on the site (with a good bit of help with the interview in French from some co-workers): http://www.moma.org/colorchart.
For work I do some stuff with a group called “PopRally” that, for lack of a better explanation, does programming for young folks. For the last event, I made some animations for the lobby screens, and here are some photos of them in action by the photographer for the event:
A nice little listing to come back from vacation; Adobe.com listed the Puryear exhibition site (http://moma.org/martinpuryear) as their “Site of the Day”. This is basically an honor for the developer who made an insane interactive structure, but it was nice that they called out the video I did also: HERE.
I love weird logos. This one is from “Great White” style copy paper from a vendor. I like that they’ve tried to cram everything in: oh, it’s called “Great White” so add a shark, also it’s recycled so throw that in there, but people don’t want to think it’s recycled shark bits, so put a memo in there. There — perfect!
I’ve been busy recently getting ready for a big launch, and we’ve finally gone live — the audio and video content for MoMA (and some for P.S.1) is available on iTunes U **you have to have iTunes installed to open this link** (itms://deimos3.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/moma.org)
My friend Steve sent me this great little tutorial that lets you manipulate landscape photos to look like pictures of models: http://recedinghairline.co.uk/tutorials/fakemodel/. Here’s a sample I did of a picture of the Seattle skyline. Not a great example because it already looked a little like a model.

Found this on the subway this morning (December 11 2006), and sent it off immediately to FOUND magazine (http://foundmagazine.com/); not as good as the shopping list my brother found that included items such as “nipple shields” and “Kill Bill 2″.
