I’ve been playing around with time lapse photo for a while now (http://davidhart.org/blech/archives/173) and got to do a really cool one at work for the Richard Serra installation. It’s on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/v/l1sBpsyRNfM) now, which makes it look really small and unimpressive, but a bigger version will be on the Serra exhibition site when it goes up in a bit. The music is from a guy who records as “I am Robot and Proud” (http://www.robotandproud.com) out of Toronto.

So there’s a new show up at work (http://www.moma.org/exhibitions/exhibitions.php?id=3956) where an artist is drawing directly on the walls in the atrium. Pretty awesome. Someone in our marketing group shot some footage of it, and I edited together this short video of it for YouTube: (in the link below doesn’t work, go here: http://www.youtube.com/v/CkXXNGfx_3k)

The Guerrilla Girls presented at a recent symposium at MoMA. I cut the audio down and synched the images to create this shortened version of it for YouTube.

As part of work I got to edit a video of Polly Apfelbaum installing Blossom for the upcoming exhibition Comic Abstraction. I didn’t shoot the video and the audio was from Acoustiguide, but slapped it all into place.

Here’s another test of time lapse facing out of our offices; the batteries died near the end of the day, but otherwise pretty awesome. Right-click here to download or click on the photo below to stream. It’s a pretty big file.

Been playing around with time-lapse photos from our offices up on the 10th floor on 53rd between 5th and 6th.

The corner of 53rd and 5th: click

MoMA is having a site-specific work in January and February by Doug Aitken, and I’ve been helping with getting some stuff online. Below is the trailer for the piece, which includes Seu Jorge and a skinny white kid who used to drum in the L train platform and now is on the OC (huh?).

This weekend I helped out on old friend on a student film. The story? Two friends, a startling discovery and a difficult choice.

One of the joys of three-day weekends: having time to mess around with new toys, like time-lapse software and modeling clay. Yes, the timing and lighting are a bit wonky, but a good beginning, perhaps. The compression to web streaming is a bit harsh, too. Alright, enough moaning, just click on the link below.
