“Camera Are Soul Keepers” -- An Interview with Video Artist Bill Viola

Mentorless writes: Bill Viola is an american contemporary video artist that has been creating for four decades now and exposing his work all around the world. If you’ve never seen one of Viola’s installation, they are often disturbing, but not in the way you would expect. Viola uses images and what goes with them: sound, frames, scale, environment to challenge our reflection and perception. I don’t come from an ‘artsy’ background, so I know little to nothing about contemporary artists, but I had the chance to discover Bill Viola about ten years ago while I was studying in Spain, and his work did have a strong impact on me.

IBM Makes Stop-Motion Film Using Atoms as Pixels

Olivia Solon of wired.co.uk writes: IBM has made a stop-motion film—A Boy and His Atom—using individual molecules as pixels, in what Guinness has acknowledged is the world's smallest movie. The movie's plot line depicts a character called Atom who befriends a single atom and goes on a "playful journey." This journey involves dancing, jumping on a trampoline, and playing catch. It's unlikely to win any Oscars, but that's not really the point; it's designed to get people inspired about science.

All-Robot Film Crew Makes a Documentary About Humans

Evan Dashevsky of TechHive writes: The past few decades have seen robots occupy numerous occupations once purely under the sole purview of humans. This trend towards a de-peopled workplace shows no promise of slowing down anytime soon. In fact, a new project appearing at NYC’s Tribeca Film Festival is proving that robots may have yet another role that they can take off our carbon-based hands: documentary filmmaker.

A Dose of Surrealist Hipster Romance

Kasia Cieplak-Mayr von Baldegg on The Atlantic writes: It's a "traditional story of guy has girl, loses girl, villain gets girl, they duel, [guy] wins girl back ... but set in a bizarre parallel-universe kinda other-world,"Alan Wilkis explains when I ask him to describe his latest music video, a collaboration with director Michael Lawrence. The duel is a dance battle set on the fringe of Coney Island and our hero is played by Fabrizio Goldstein, a TV personality/actor/writer/model/rapper who goes by the name Fat Jew. The video flaunts an Instagram-style faded look, but it's real -- shot on Kodak film.
