Here’s an amazing visual art video by Austria’s Clemens Kogler. I know nothing about Clemens, but his website says that he is an “illustrator and filmmaker [who] would hate to narrow [himself] to those fields alone”. It would appear that another field he is at least interested in is DJing, or turntables. Here, Kogler uses the turntables’ 33 1/3 rpm speed combined with a slow shutter speed on his cameras to create animations using 12″ platters of looped. It’s kind of hard to describe in words, so read on past the video for a visual description of his setup along with a link to an interview with the artist.
Keep an eye out for classic and cult-classic album covers, and peep the abstract Neitzsche-inspired “Stuck In A Groove” audio. This project must have taken AGES.
Go HERE for a deeper description of Clemens’ setup, as well as an interview.
Thanks to former tourmate and music video whiz Christopher Mills for sending this my way.
