The film has a gentle intensity to it, and is composed of changes of light across the sea, sky and mountains. It shows movement where there is apparent stillness, whether in the formation of weather patterns, movement of stars, the illumination of a building by passing car headlights or boats darting back and forth across the sea’s horizon.

hus.ingerlisehansenHus by Inger Lise Hansen

- Hus is a film which attempts to reveal the private and hidden layers of our habitation (…) It is a film about time and processes, about disintegration and construction. -In Hus I was interested in physically deconstructing and reconstructing one object. I imagined the house as a shell that separates “private and public spheres”. Through the use of animation I could open up this “shell” and examine it.

(I’ve recently wrote a proposal where I explained something very similar about the “house layers”)

One her incredible upside down landscapes (excerpt from Travelling Fields):

Planet A

This is Planet A from Momoko Seto:

She creates hybrid mix-genre films by transforming everyday life elements into a poetic and singular universe.

(search engines show that people get to this blog by looking for “octopus” and “octopus porn”. Today is a better day for them!)

Love, Sex, Birth, Death and Monica Cook’s animations

Deuce portrays an awkward encounter between a man and a woman that triggers their individual fantasies.

By Monica Cook, also the author of this filthy opulent painting:

She’s one of our references for an upcoming project that explores the plasticity and visibility of hidden voluptuous flesh.

I’m very curious about her other animation called “Volley”:

They’re so beautiful!

Some heroines from the other side of the planet

Sputniko! is like a mad scientist; an explorer walking trough maths, art and the future. And she made a menstruation machine.

her new film:  Crowbot Jenny = Jenny is a reclusive tech-girl who finds it rather difficult to communicate with other people. In 2011 she feels even more isolated as more of her peers hyper-communicate with various SNS. Secretly, she starts studying her lab professors’ papers to build the Crowbot, a robot that allows her to communicate with crows. Using her Crowbot, Jenny begins to simulate crow communication in her lab, hoping to one-day interact with other non-human species.

Trippple Nippples are a new discover for me.

I’m very attracted to their outfits (which they do themselves), staging and electronic sound. Here a nice acid view of Miami:
