You want that Partis hat so bad that you’re shaking.
Artis the Partis and Alien the Palien were in full impulsive-buying force during Friday’s Nachtsalon at the Artis Planetarium. Most of the event took place in the dome theater itself, starting with a fascinating look at the solar system (or at least I think was, it was in Dutch). The new(-ish) planetarium has some of the best audio and visual equipment I have seen in any educational building, using the dome structure to create three dimensional images and animating them in such a way that it actually feels like stars are falling all over you.
♥ YURO & TRAGO
Dutch DJ’s Yuro and Trago did a live set (see comment below) that included an animated remix of the images we had viewed in the previous presentation. The set musically was inspired and thumpy (in a good way), but after the second trippy animation, we started to wonder if we were the only people in the room who weren’t magic mushing their brains out. Then of course they brought out this guy…
♥ J. WALT LIVE DRAWING
Out the two videos, this is the one to watch. It’s a bit on the big side, but if you have the patience to wait for it to download, you will be happily rewarded. Coming all the way from Los Angeles, J. Walt is an artist and programmer who performed five different pieces of his work (three shown in the video) with software he created himself. Each performance consisted of him live drawing on a wacom tablet while using a slider to manipulate the camera angles and movement. If you look closely, you can see the cursor moving in the video.
