Two More Urban Icosacomposites
I celebrated Memorial Day by taking some video footage. I set up shop near Harvard Square and Porter Square and got the raw materials for two new icosacomposites, presented herewith:

MWRA Turbine Time-Lapse
It’s weird… I thought I’d gotten the wind turbine thing over with, when I did the moonlit turbine video that went until sunrise early one December morning… but here we are again. This is a different turbine than the small Northwind 100 on the McGlynn campus. This is the 1.8 MW installation at the MWRA
All Sorts of Crazy Stuff
Greetings, folks… Sorry it’s been a very light time for the blog, it’s been a crazy busy month, with my new job teaching intro printmaking at the New Hampshire Institute of Art, and some craft fairs and other fun things. Among those things would be the shindig for the relaunched Big Red & Shiny, which
Three Shorts in Glovebox Film Festival 2012
Well, the results are in, and all three film shorts I submitted made it into the 2012 Glovebox Film Festival. Glovebox is a couple of folks crusading to get interesting art out in front of the public, and I first showed with them when I arrived in Beantown in 2008. Another short of mine was

Updated MBTA Icosacomposites
Due to a new project I started last week, I realized I needed to do some tweaking on the transparencies of the 20-layer composite videos of the MBTA stations I did a while back. So I’ve re-rendered the videos and reposted them to Vimeo. Basically this just a quick notification.
Park Street and Downtown Crossing Icosacomposites
Here are the “traditional” icosacomposites I shot on Friday. More of the process of shooting these can be found here. While preparing the Downtown Crossing icosacomposite I discovered that the camera was focusing on the people close to me rather than the subway trains, so this one has a more dreamy feel to it.
Raw Footage of the Park Street Icosacomposite Intervals
Here are the raw versions of the Park Street Icosacomposite Intervals. These are simple composited in time, with no adjustment for camera drift or alignment.
Park Street Short Icosacomposites… or “Intervals”
Yesterday I went down to the Boston Public Library to talk with the print curator about my installation for the Rethink Ink exhibition for Mixit Studio’s 25th anniversary. While I was downtown I decided it was a good idea to continue doing icosacomposites on the MBTA Red Line. I got a good location and was

Charles-MGH MBTA Icosacomposite
Continuing south, we emerge into the light of day on the platform of the Charles-MGH subway station. I tried to get as much of the platform activity as possible while including a decent amount of the tracks on the Longfellow Bridge.
Full Kendall-MIT MBTA Station Icosacomposite
As luck would have it, I was able to get to Kendall-MIT yesterday morning and shoot a full 50 minutes of footage. Here’s the new composite: Funny thing—when you layer time-based media, there’s always a small but non-zero chance that periodic events will synch up in the composition. This is the case here: in some
