A short experimental associative-voodle by moi & b.k. featuring a powerful visitation occurring every now and then in Oslo, Norway - 2008.02.17. Work commissioned by the norwegian jazz-musician Nils Petter Molvær. Soundscape ‘visitation’ from the album ‘re-vision’ (Nils Petter Molvær 2008).

Semanal08: W8 - A Night At The Races
It was a balmy night in western Arizona. The family headed out to the Mohave Valley Raceway near Bullhead City for a night of dirt track racing. Other than some speedway motorcycle racing back in England, I have never witnessed dirt track racing. My motor sports experiences have been purely tarmac-based. Until this night.

The night was a series of heats and a final of lower class vehicles, and the showcase class – Modifieds. If I remember correctly, my father-in-law was telling me these monsters run on alchohol, which makes them the bad-ass mo-fo’s of the paddock. Watching these loud and ugly Mad Max machines round the 1/3 mile oval almost entirely sideways was a sight to behold. Amazing control, driving on the ragged edge. And did I mention they were loud.

Week 7

David Ray Griffin is a co-director of the Center for Process Studies and one of the foremost contemporary exponents of process theology. He’s also a leading proponent of theories questioning the Bush Administration’s account of the September 11, 2001 attacks.

I was invited to a lecture of his February 10 in San Diego that mainly concentrated on subjects within his new book, Debunking 9/11 Debunking, which he explained is largely a response to an article by Popular Mechanics its authors claim dispel the primary tenets of the 9/11 Truth Movement.

Skipped right over Week 6, and I’m still a week behind!

The Digital Dojo is a very interesting place in which video blogging events are held to help people understand the many aspects of making and distributing video. One I attended was one of the “Super Happy Vlog House” events, held at various places in the United States. Are there SHVH events elsewhere in the world? I always enjoy going and learning about technical aspects of video making. I think the Dojo is great and Markus and Alicia are always so warm and welcoming to video bloggers of all levels. It is a beautiful place that has a peaceful atmosphere. Please note that this is a research site and that comments posted to the site may be used in research.

a moment admiring the beautiful colors of dawn before work

good god, paris is beautiful. the only thing keeping me from wanting to move there is that i can’t speak a lick of french. daniel liss was recently there as was raymond. check out their amazing videos too. our xacti broke right before we hit paris, so we were shooting blind, no LCD screen to guide us. hence some crookedness. i think we did pretty well considering!

people you might know in this video: loiez, jefferey, raymond.

Not a very active vlogging week for me, but it all seems to come together in Instances of Insignificance.
I also did.

Another full frontal nudity WARNING.

As with many artists, I work with the human form.

There were two versions of the audio poem “Dark Cities”. This is the second. Better technically, put for performance, I prefer V. 1.0.

It features the voices of poets Bruce Weber and Stacie M. Kiner. The 3 of us wrote the poem together, and worked for years to bring it into various media.

In order to get the poem out into the digital realm, it needed images. The images are from behind the scenes of making the 16mm version. The images needed more, too. Glad they found one another in this piece.

Must find the VHS version we recorded in West Palm Beach with Stacie as Mrs. H and Lenny DellaRocca as Mr. H.

It’s around here somewhere.

This is a Semanal08-only release.

New storytelling.

You got it.

Down.

Not much time to video this week. Here’s a Lumiere to stay in the game.

Kerry

Look how insane LA looks at night as you fly into the city.
We built it piece by piece.

Crispy Duck, Pineapple Rice, and Home Made Applesauce.

We finally got the dinner done, and WOW was it yummy. Very easy to make as well, and the boys.. They just ate it all up.

We pick up these little “duck half” at BJ’s Wholesale Club and I just tossed that in the toaster oven for about half an hour at 350 then bumped it up to 450 for another ten minutes or so to ensure the “Crispy” part.

The Pineapple Rice was insanely easy… Simple white rice then added some cold pineapple chunks.

And as for the applesauce well we used our recipe the same one that was found in our earlier video.

And we paired dinner off with a nice Cranberry Pomegranate juice. And in wine glasses no less. It was a very fancy and sophisticated dinner and I think that was part of the reason why the boys ate their dinner so well. It was just well. Good all around.

Busy week, not much video. But to stay in the game, here’s a vacuuming lumiere.

I haven’t felt like videoing this week but here’s a quick one I took the week before to show my (juggler) friends. this is in Ben Yehuda mall in Jerusalem centre.

I recorded a video yesterday in the Old City as a sound walk - there’s video also but it’s not watchable

This week an edit of some raw DV recorded in August 2006.

this reminds me of http://blandlands.com/ by Aaron Valdez. Mundane is the new punk rock.

Having fun with the muppets’ song “manamana,” followed by some intense laughter.

Another synaesthetical rendered voodle, albeit quite crudely, for this week’s semanal second.
As always: pataphysical text and supplementary video links on patalab.
(More views from old buildings and museums coming week
Enjoy, Cheers, Sam
btw: great video(s) this week on semanal ! very inspiring… thanks for posting.

Unremarkable Things #2

Hands- Short and sweet abstract video.

Here is a cool video.

Here’s my valentine day entry.

Week7_Semanal08 diary : my week on my cell phone with recycled flicks in the background.
http://gasprod.blip.tv/file/668135/

this is a test post to see if plugging in a vimeo link in the “URL to Video File” spot will bring in the video. You can delete the post either way, but if you could just email me the results. Thanks.

Clips collected over the past two months that were either extra clips or moments captured and never posted. Inspired by Jay Dedman’s MomentShowing.net, I hope to continue this throughout the year.

What would happen if we wrote what we really wanted to say in Valentine’s Day cards?

Music: Likewater “When You Hide” http://www.podsafeaudio.com

this is supposed to be week 6, which is actually only my second vlog - this one is actually edited, a first as is most everything i’ve done here - here’s hoping i’ve got the semanal protocol right this time.

I absolutely love museum videos. This was a superb video, nice music overlaying with the sound from the footsteps. How does it feel to take footage of people in a public space like this? That woman in conversation with the statue looking back, at you, sceptical - how did you react? Did you say something? Or did you pretend that What would you do if they notice it?. “Will she notice it?” Great, great.

I love Carlsberg Ny Glyptotek - I havent been there in a few months though. Time to go again!

Your piece from Glyptoteket was very different from my own piece from DAC from september - where you focused on the clothes and actions of others, I made a collage of my own self, activities, surroundings.

Thanks for sharing this, Sam!

Maybe we should have a museumwalking session in Copenhagen?

I Voted
(I haven’t decided if this is my final submission for the week. I may post something else.)

Please feel free to comment on my site.

One of the things I participated in during my visit to Tokyo was Xacti’s Tokyo Hunt, which was a day of running around taking video with local videobloggers. You can see Tajee’s video of some of our day here. (My video of eating Fugu The Poison Fish is coming up.)

No matter that carnival itsn’t only a catalan tradition, here they put so many interesting on it. this video shows the event where 6000 “botifarras d’ou” (a typical dish) were gave to the people to celebrate the began of the carnival times.

Afternoon Yoga Break: You guys & gals are my yoga partners.

This is my story of changing a flat tire. In the cold. With a cold.

Experiencing museums, old buildings and classic interiors can be quite interesting and not so soporific after all. Thanks to Ryanne for the inspiration and challenge from her fun Bruges video from week 6.
As always, supplementary didactic text and other links at patalab.
Cheers,Sam

This week I combined some orphaned video with orphaned audio. Here’s what came out.

Ok, I think I have got the fast start fixed, hope you all enjoy this video, inspired in part by Jay Dedman, I call it “Moments”

You say it’s your birthday? It was our birthday too. Yep a pile of Aging Aquarians - having a good time. I was late for the parade - yes there really was a parade. But after that, it was time to do some music.
