My brother and I like to collect weird headlines. I think I’ve won with this one from The Guardian:

Dave’s Toast

Here’s the wedding toast by The Bestest Dude:

Why I might watch soccer more

davidhart.org — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 17:30:44 +0000

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”

New video for work: SYSTEM3

davidhart.org — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 15:05:19 +0000

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).

New video for work: Home Delivery time-lapse

Another one, with nice music courtesy of the friendly guys from Rothko and Four Tet:

New videos for work: Design and the Elastic Mind

davidhart.org — Mon, 26 May 2008 18:26:22 +0000

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:

Yes, my site is messed up

davidhart.org — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 14:03:03 +0000

I’ll work on it soon…maybe.

Rest easy, o faithful three people who read this blog. It is fixed. I think.

New video for work: Installation of ZOBOP!

davidhart.org — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 14:36:44 +0000

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:

Website for work

davidhart.org — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 15:42:55 +0000

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.

Photos of screens for a PopRally party at MoMA

davidhart.org — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 15:15:04 +0000

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:

New website and video for work: Jan De Cock

davidhart.org — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 14:38:39 +0000

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

Puryear site - Adobe.com “Site of the Day”

davidhart.org — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 15:28:31 +0000

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.

List up on McSweeney’s

davidhart.org — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 17:00:54 +0000

Finally got a list up on McSweeney’s.

And for the record, I got nothing but love for the trans folk out there.

New work video: Sculpture Garden Installation

davidhart.org — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 02:38:34 +0000

One weekend, four cameras, a lot of tape, and a nice song lent from the guys in Four Tet.

Video on exhibition site for Martin Puryear

davidhart.org — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 21:38:34 +0000

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.

Shark Memo!

davidhart.org — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 21:56:15 +0000

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!

MoMA on iTunesU

davidhart.org — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 12:01:03 +0000

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)

Cool Photoshop tutorial: Make pictures look like models

davidhart.org — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 13:18:11 +0000

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.

UPDATE: FOUND magazine submission

davidhart.org — Tue, 11 Sep 2007 11:00:04 +0000

Got posted as the “Find of the Day” — fitting for 911.

=========
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″.
