BODIES AND BEATS

dbqp — Sat, 14 Jul 2012 04:48:58 +0000

The Kickstarter Campain just launched for “Bodies and Beats”, a music/video mashup IOS App for iPad & iPhone. Rad Kickbacks. Support and spread the word!

The App:
Bodies and Beats turns you into a digital mashup artist. Create your own video collages set to beats, and then change the elements with a touch of your finger to discover something new. This iOS app for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch is inspired by our original interactive video installation, Exquisite Motion Corpse.

How it Works:
Build your body! Pick from a video catalog of body segments – from the surreal to the hilarious – all accompanied by unique beats and sound effects from musicians like Mux Mool, Mogi Grumbles, and Broken Bells. Mix and remix the elements to create something crazy, something funny, something weird.

You control the video speed, with half-time and double-time controls. Or randomize the video clips to discover new combinations.

Backstory:
Created by Martin Thoburn and dirty bros. founder Chris Sandon as original four-channel video installation featuring a life-sized tower of screens controlled with a podium-mounted touchscreen. Users swap body segments synced to a beat clock.

MUSEUM OF EXTRAORDINARY OBJECTS

On our travels in Berlin, we stumbled upon a building with strange objects in the window and decided to explore. As we entered, there was two small rooms filled with random retro artifacts for sale. To the right, a full size red power ranger blocked the doorway. A sign read something like “$5 to enter the museum”. A nice man echoed this and explained that some of his students had arranged his antique collection in “artistic ways”. We gladly paid the admission. As we walked around in curious amazement, our tour guide asked us questions as to what the original use of the strange contraptions we were seeing were. This bizarre spot was a truly wonderful surprise.
