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).
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:
Finished a website and video for a new exhibition opening soon; the video isn’t great but is a nice addition to the site, I think: moma.org/jandecock
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.
One weekend, four cameras, a lot of tape, and a nice song lent from the guys in Four Tet.
MoMA is exhibiting a huge retrospective for Martin Puryear, and the video I shot (most of) and edited is now up on the site:

Go to “Enter Site” at the bottom–> “Atrium Installation” –> “Installation video” at the top. Flash 8 required.
Another one for work — edited footage from the Warm Up series into something almost watchable; however, the New York Times launched a video two days before that was much cooler:
WPS1, the online radio station of PS1 Contemporary Art Center, broadcasts live from the Venice Biennale every year. This year someone shot some footage and I edited together a little movie for it:
Cort (CK Studios Inc) shot these to match up to the Acoustiguide audio for Serra. I just uploaded them to YouTube — it’s impossible to do justice to the big things on the small screen, but pretty good (if you can’t see it, the link is: http://www.youtube.com/p/8A7DDAAA1735F085
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.
I’m part of a group presenting at the National Art Education Association this year
