A short section of Karlheinz Stockhausen’s Helicopter String Quartet, performed by four musicians and four helicopter pilots. Another performance.

The New York Times offers some insight into the execution of the piece:

“Sometimes he was playing with his eyes closed,” reported the pilot who flew with Roham de Saram, the cellist. “When I saw him playing very fast, I tried to turn and fly faster to influence him.” Another pilot revealed that he had tried “sharp turns and loops but could not disturb” his passenger, Mr. Arditti.

ericmortensen:

Rob effectively demonstrates how different “web tv” can (should?) be from “real tv”. I’m also amazed by the short episode lengths. It seems like it should be impossible to do what he does here in only one minute and 38 seconds. It doesn’t feel rushed at all. I do feel like the it’s missing closure, though. The video, not the story. I think a slightly altered version of the five second opening coupled with a URL and contact information would do the trick.

Next To Heaven Episode 2.3 - The Burn by Rob Parrish

From a recent TBD story about the show:

The juxtaposition of the archive films’ choreographed, wholesome imagery with Parrish’s unwholesome, anachronistic narratives makes for an entertaining several minutes. But he’s also making a larger point about manipulation through media, which is all too common. “It’s really kind of important to the whole project, the unreliability of officially sanctioned imagery,” he says. “Authority figures put out media and they say, ‘This is it.’ That may be what it looks like on the surface, but that’s not all there is. There’s always something deeper and more complex than what’s on the surface. That little old lady isn’t always who she seems to be.”

I’m very pleased to be launching a new Tumblr with the wonderful kateopolis. It’s called “image oscillite” and it will curate a video collection, at a rate of two a day, that I hope will eventually be on par with her superb kateopolis.tumblr.com. If we fail to achieve that level of quality, it will undoubtedly be my fault. :)

We hope you’ll join us.

I’m really excited to partner with the overly gracious and talented ericmortensen on this and hope that you’ll find our content engaging. See you there!

Remixing is a folk art but the techniques involved — collecting material, combining it, transforming it — are the same ones used at any level of creation. You could even say that… Everything is a Remix.

This is part one of a four part documentary series.

In today’s age, we don’t judge books by their covers. We judge them by their thumbnails. We also judge videos, e-books, software, and people the same way. Engaging an audience demands engaging them visually, no matter the medium. Some of our peers in the online video community recently noted that Tumblr allows the display of thumbnails for YouTube embeds on their dashboard, but other popular video sites, such as Vimeo and Blip.tv, are currently left out from showcasing their user videos with a thumbnail image.

Rocketboom R&D, the development unit of the Rocketboom network, has created a simple solution: a browser add-on that allows Tumblr users to see any video’s known thumbnail in their Tumblr dashboard. There’s no platform favoritism; this enables nearly every other common video platform the ability for thumbnail display. The add-on was created using Mag.ma, our own video aggregation service, to do thumbnail lookups for numerous video platforms with our simple API methods. The results? Uniformity for Tumblr users and creative support for content creators.

Get your browser add-on for Firefox, Chrome, or Safari, and visit the Tumblr Video Thumbnails add-on page for information, installation help, and more. Special thanks to our friends at Vimeo, Blip.tv, and Wreck & Salvage for their testing and support.

Yay! Big thanks to Greg, Andrea and the rest of the RB crew! Please reblog this like mad so everyone can have a better Tumblr experience.

It’s Ann Liv Young versus P.S. 1, Round 2.

Ms. Young, a provocative performance artist, was at the center of a controversy in February when the P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center abruptly cut the power in the middle of her appearance, plunging an already chaotic scene into darkness.

[Curator Andres] Bedoya said he had never received an explanation from the museum. Nor did Ms. Young, who fell in the darkness, cutting her knee and spilling a bucket of her own urine on herself and several audience members. Yet Ms. Young and others consider her performance a success.

Now she is planning to return to the museum, having been invited by the artist A. L. Steiner to participate in a performance-lecture addressing the February events. That appearance would be held in the temporary studio that Ms. Steiner occupies in the museum as part of the “Greater New York” exhibition. But on Monday a press officer for P.S. 1, April Hunt, said by e-mail that the return visit, scheduled for Sept. 5, was not happening. She would not comment further, and the museum has refused repeated interview requests.
