Botborg presents "PSNKY Test Subject #1 : Connection to the Photosonicneurokineasthograph"


"Botborg is a practical demonstration of the theories of Dr Arkady Botborger (1923-81), founder of the 'occult' science of Photosonicneurokineasthography - translated as "writing the movement of nerves through use of sound and light". Raw electronic signals are fused and rewired to create intensely visceral experiences of sound-colour synaesthesia."

E&T visits three Toronto men who have created a functioning camera eye – an invention with far-reaching applications.



"In an unremarkable townhouse in suburban Toronto, Canada, one-eyed film maker Rob Spence questioned why, if something as compact as a mobile phone could encase a digital camera, his eye socket couldn’t do the same. His answer was to replace his optical prosthesis for one with a video camera; the result could form the background of a revolution in optical technology.

"“My face is the medium, the message, the problem and the solution,” says Spence. “For a documentary film maker, a camera eye opens up a whole new point of view that is closer to the human experience.” Intimate conversations that rely on body language, eye contact and the assumption of privacy may never be the same again.

"Feeling uncomfortable? That is Spence’s original objective. By turning himself into a Little Brother, he wanted to highlight people’s concern (or lack of it) for issues of privacy and surveillance. The City of Toronto is planning to install 12,000 surveillance cameras without much fanfare, public discussion or debate. However, those who have heard about the Eyeborg on television, radio and in dozens of newspaper articles do voice an opinion on Spence’s ethics and the legality of recording video without due permission from its subjects."

"Tweenbots are human-dependent robots that navigate the city with the help of pedestrians they encounter. Rolling at a constant speed, in a straight line, Tweenbots have a destination displayed on a flag, and rely on people they meet to read this flag and to aim them in the right direction to reach their goal."

Israeli Arms Dealer’s Bollywood Foray

[via smashing telly]

"Weapons dealers’ marketing materials are often a great source of unintentional black comedy, however, there are no words to adequately describe this gem found by the excellent 3 Quarks daily.

"Israeli arms company, Rafael, decided to create a Bollywood style promotional video for the Aero India 2009 show in Bangalore. The truly weird result is a lot of singing and dancing around missiles."

Excellent video by Leonard Lorrimarr, Edward Farleigh and (my mate) Matt Andrews. Nice work guys. Unfortunately, as is often the case with YouTube, the sync is poor. A great Detach'i remix though. I love what he does with sound. He's like an alchemist.

Having recently found Motomichi Nakamura's video for Otto Von Schirach's unusually catchy Laptops & Martinis (above) I went in search of more of his work. The black, white and red (duochrome?) look is ever present. I like the humour, style and the consistency but can't help wondering whether the limited colour palette is also limiting him in other ways?

Check out the animation page of his website. I recommend the Japan Cuts trailer and Walk in particular. There's an interview here and a CV here.

Three awesome videos by Perish Factory:

LADYSCRAPER - THOU ART FUCKING DEAD


TRANS AM - TESCO VS SAINSBURYS


BOMB THE BASS - BUTTERFINGERS


Megane - Petal Dance
music : Stage 1, Vol. 1, Track 1 by Burnt Bacon, Right? (aka Keith Hic)

"MP3 blog Stereogum (who are on a similar wavelength to Pitchfork) has assembled a tribute album to Björk's Post, with individual tracks covered by indie/hipster/futurefolk bands like Dirty Projectors, Xiu Xiu, El Guincho and Final Fantasy. It's available for free download in MP3 format, but only until the licences run out, after which it'll be streaming-only and impossible to legally obtain, like their OK Computer tribute album from last year."

Tracklisting in comments

Derek Sajbel says:
"I just finished a trailer for the bent festival 2007 NYC dvd i made
you can watch it in 720p streaming with vimeo's most superior web video service"

"Shot and Mastered in HDV, Absurdity.Biz continues the Circuit Bending Documentary Project with the release of Bent 2007 NYC widescreen SD-DVD. Help support the independent documentary now over five years in the making being produced solely by Dr. Rek. DVDs available at absurdity.biz"

"I had an excellent time performing at them in New York and Minneapolis this year
it was cool to meet faltyDL, for a brief moment while sweating thru a orange furry suit and minneapolis is a really nice town with not too little and not too much happening, if it didn't have hellish winter, I'd want to live there.

"also, i was interviewed recently by getlofi.com"

"Absurdity.Biz's newest music video for our long time pal Daedelus' track "Lights Out" [21MB mov] off his new release on ninja tune and mush records entitled "denighs the days demise" can be downloaded here for the best looking version, or watch the google stream below, which plays best when u let the whole video preload before viewing."



Decal - 404 not found videos
These were only shown on Irish TV when the album came out (2002). And this non-album track is a stunner:
Decal - Dancing With Stiletoes In The Snow*

"One of Decals most inventive tracks and [was] only available as a quicktime video! Included on a CD of Irish artists, 'Please Don't Ask Me What I Think of Your Band' that came free with Homage magazine. The video by Tim Redfern is also outstanding, gelling seamlessly with the music, 2002."
* Gotta love the Marrillion reference too!

This Lucky Me - Tweet – Ooops remix [via downloadmyspacemusic]

Bit behind here, I've forgotten to post this several times now, Appleblim April podcast Rinse FM [107MB MP3]
Tracklisting

Jonas the Plugexpert says,
"Yo some tunes in here [20MB MP3 on webpage]ranging in style, the first one is a remix, rest is work in progress
cheers."

Bad Mammal has a new MP3 release over on Good Luck Bad Luck, if you want something downbeat and dirty/lo-fi, but it's charged for, so I'd suggest downloading the live set from Chicago [38MB MP3] last year and seeing what you think.
