Shoot a water balloon.

Capture on film at high speed.

And get this splendid image.

I love how the shape of the water within the now-defunct balloon is preserved, even though the container has been reduced to a few splotches of material.

An iPhone Creation! Sunset Timelapse

iphone timelapse of St Petersburg Florida sunset from Philip Bloom on Vimeo.

This guy made a timelapse video of a gorgeous sunset entirely on his iPhone!

What struck me most was the contrast of the slowly morphing clouds versus the frenzy of the frantic humans.

A commenter noted that “the seagulls create a sort of ‘old film filter’ effect” which I find to be a thoroughly spiffy observation.

Packing Tape Spiderweb = playhouse + movement record

“The installation is based on an idea for a dance performance in which the form evolves from the movement of the dancers between the pillars,” explains For Use’s Christoph Katzler. “The dancers are stretching the tape while they move, so the resulting shape is a recording of the choreography.”

Nearly 117,000 feet and 100 pounds of tape…

…make a gargantuan spiderweb “like a giant artistic bounce house/jungle gym for adults, who can crawl inside and lounge around”.

I want to play!
