A few months back, I took a sweet shot of a guy with a kitted out bicycle along the trail of Han River Tributary: raddest bike in Korea.
Well, there must be a trend here for kitting out your bicycles in some righteous ways. Here is another fully modded bicycle I saw the other day, again near the Han River:
I was filming lots of random actions and things around the apartment. I filmed this giant art book opening and closing, and the word ‘resolution’ jumped off one of the pages. A resolution to do something, to snap out of this loop. Made me think it would be cool to do an video dictionary, a collection of a bunch of short videos like this.
(POSTSCRIPT: This short little video would become a key video in the chain of ideas which led me to start the Vidtionary project.)
This video was done simply as an experiment in syncing together a music keyboard powered by the Logic music software with my Arkaos VJ software. I could load the still images into Arkaos, and then use a midi keyboard to simultaneously trigger the images as well as music notes. Someone complimented me on the music, which is funny, because I essentially just banged away at the piano keys at random since I don’t know how to play.
I have taken literally thousands of pictures along the Han River of Seoul in the past year – granted many of the photos are similar one to the other. I don’t know yet what I’ll do with all these photos, but for sure something more than this eventually.
