levelHead v1.0, 3-cube speedrun


"As yet unseen footage of the first stable version of levelHead, an augmented-reality spatial-memory game by Julian Oliver.
This is a spoiler for the first 3 cubes: the relatively easy red cube, the tricky green cube and finally the very difficult orange cube (dubbed the 'Apartment'). Don't watch this if you want to solve them yourself!"

Black Rain

Black Rain from Semiconductor on Vimeo.

"Black Rain is sourced from images collected by the twin satellite, solar mission, STEREO. Here we see the HI (Heliospheric Imager) visual data as it tracks interplanetary space for solar wind and CME's (coronal mass ejections) heading towards Earth. Data courtesy of courtesy of the Heliospheric Imager on the NASA STEREO mission.

Working with STEREO scientists, Semiconductor collected all the HI image data to date, revealing the journey of the satellites from their initial orientation, to their current tracing of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Solar wind, CME's, passing planets and comets orbiting the sun can be seen as background stars and the milky way pass by.

As in Semiconductors previous work 'Brilliant Noise' which looked into the sun, they work with raw scientific satellite data which has not yet been cleaned and processed for public consumption. By embracing the artefacts, calibration and phenomena of the capturing process we are reminded of the presence of the human observer who endeavors to extend our perceptions and knowledge through technological innovation.

Klaus Kinski und der störende Zuschauer
Das waren noch Zeiten...anno 1978 :)



Klaus Kinski war zu Gast in der Talkshow "Je später der Abend" - als ein Zuschauer den Talk mit Zwischenrufen stört, ist die Sendung gelaufen. Der Moderator heißt übrigens Reinhard Münchenhagen (damit Kinskis Running Gag mit "Herrn Münchhausen" verständlich wird).
