If you are a creative person and find yourself in the position that you are not able to create the things that you want, either because how your life is going right now or perhaps your energy is spent most days at an eight hour shift at a job that does not contribute to the things you want to do, you will find a place that will. But sometimes the couch where you often fall asleep to wake up to go right back to work just isn't enough. So today I decided I needed to think. Though I am left alone most of the time and have everything I need to be productive in my work, my home office filled with half worked projects and unfulfilled ideas just doesn't inspire me. There are simply too many distractions in the mess I surround myself with. So I went here. Though I was still in my office, I had transported myself through space and time to the closest survivable distance of a far off star not much unlike our own sun. I was of course wearing the Oculus Rift Devkit 2 in order to make...
We've all thought about it. We've debated it. We have proved it to a certain extent... Is Google watching you? But that's not the question I'm asking today. Right now we are in a singularity of technological advancements that will inevitably shift paradigms, achieve the impossible and ultimately redefine reality itself. We currently live in a world where the word magic will literally become a relevant concept. How else are you going to explain to your kids how all these gadgets work? If I were to quote Joe Rogan: "Does anybody really know how any of this shit works?" , would you have an answer to that question? If your five year old asked that question could you really explain to him or her how a processor works? How they can talk to their grandparents on the other side of the country with no visible wires? Or would you sum it up into one neat word that you know they will understand. "Magic." I'm not underestimating children's growi...
The 8th Mass Medium, what is it? I try to explain it through this video I made for my final animation film called "Vita Virtualis"(means "Virtual Life" in Latin) at Noroff. The intro of this short film might test your patience, because it is kind of lingering. But I found it important to present visually that what we want, in this case augmented reality in it's most spectacular form, won't come as fast as the next iphone. But It's getting there slowly and surely. And to get there we will have to look back, to our previous, perhaps even first steps of technologic successes in order to succeed ourselves. The ever rising music in the background is also a hint to that.(Das Rheingold Vorspiel by Wagner). The 3D modelled record player, telephone, television and camera are there to represent the origins of the parts that make up the digital experience today. Could of used a calculator/old computer as well, but I think it's already sufficient to get the...
