This New Technology – Midnight Juggernauts from midnight juggernauts on Vimeo.
It doesn’t get much trippier than this. Loving this song as well as the video. There are a lot of great acts coming out of Australia these days, (Empire of the Sun, Pnau) and Midnight Juggernauts are one of my favorites. Video by Special Problems, who also have a great portfolio.
Very inspired by the work of Oliver Vernon. It’s kind of an assault on the eyes, but in a good, visually stimulating way. I could lost in one of these for a while, there’s so much to look at.
Concentricity 96 from Joshua Kirsch on Vimeo.
I like to play around with light sculpture, and have done a few light projects recently (including my Halloween costume), so Joshua Kirsch’s work is a huge inspiration. ‘Concentricity 96’ is an amazing piece that allows the user to interact and control the flow and direction of light. It’s part of a series of interactive sculpture. Says Kirsch on his portfolio site,
“Concentricity is an interactive light sculpture series. Each of the three works presents an illuminated white handle which the viewer is invited to move in any direction. Reed switches located within the sculpture’s circuitry sense the movements of a magnet contained in the handle and translate that information into LED light. Concentricity 96 employs 96 white LEDs that shine through the sculpture’s honeycomb-like aluminum frame to create shapes and patterns on the wall.”

Another trippy music video from Air (do we expect any less from them at this point?) This one’s produced by Mathematic Studio.
I’ve been a fan of Matei’s ever since I bought this piece as an iPhone skin (totally bitchin’ and inexpensive; pick one up here). It’s a pleasure to look at every day and I get a ton of compliments on it. He has a huge body of work, and also offers free wallpaper and icon downloads on his portfolio site. Check it out.
Dubbed “a Warhol for the information age,” (Afterimage) and “a leading pioneer of the new semiotics,” (Vogue) Ryan McGinness stuns and delights with his technicolor mashups of pop culture icons. He’s represented by Deitch Projects, which seems very fitting, and you can view his work here.
