B-Roll: One Creative Thing a Day (Day 032/3D Zoetrope Experiment) You may remember Charlie Visnic (Fullerton, CA). We posted about his 64 (Video) Fingers project, software he developed for the monome hardware controller. He recently emailed to tell us about his latest project, a website he calls “B-Roll: One Creative Thing a Day:” I am attempting to do one creative project a day as well as quit smoking at the same time, and today marks my first month! Recent projects have include Thomas Allen-inspired sci-fi pop-up book cover art, a praxinoscope made from old cigarette packs, a sculpture of a half octopus/half orca, cold cathode light painting, analog modular synth patches, interview profiles with interesting people I meet, and a random assortment of other mixed media art projects.
Great job, Charlie. Today’s (April 8, Day 32) project was the above “3D Zoetrope Experiment,” built with toothpicks, glue, printed images, and constructed on an LP and turntable: B-Roll: One Creative Thing a Day More:Monome’s 64 (video) fingers Related.

Тарелки с рисунками транспорта (Интернет-журнал ETODAY) Generativo » Processing (Mirar el mar IV) Flying Swarms of Everyday Objects by Thomas Jackson. I was excited to discover photographer Thomas Jackson (previously here and here) has continued his Emergent Behavior series where he photographs airborne swarms of common objects like Post-It notes, cheese balls, and plates in environments where you would least expect them.
He also reverses the concept, shooting items from nature like sticks and leaves against an urban backdrop. You’re probably wondering how some of these are made, so I’ll quote Jackson from over on Flak Photo’s Facebook: I have struggled with the role of Photoshop in my work. I can’t make my images without it, yet I don’t really want it to be an integral part of my creative process. So I’ve set up some rules of the road for myself, and I’ve stuck to them while creating all my recent images.
Basically I want the images to be as “in camera” as possible, so instead of employing PS to composite or more things around, I simply use it to remove elements I don’t want to be there. Annie Vought. Clouds, Smoke and Portals Torn into Photographs. Raleigh-based artist and landscape architect Scott Hazard uses carefully layered photographs to create delicately torn concentric shapes symbolizing plumes of smoke, clouds, and mysterious portals in walls.
Hazard has also used adaptations of the same technique to create a number of fantastic typographic works he calls Text Constructs. Tinkerlog — Alex’ blog. EmfxCLOUDS help tutorial.
