Simple sugar syrup, inks, oil and dish-detergent, back-lit, manipulated with a bamboo skewer, and mirrored in post. Soundtrack is a remix of Dhoum, music I created in 2000, that was used in the surreal web cartoon Kitty Blue.
Back-lit water, sugar, turmeric, honey and Crayola shavings. Music is a loop I made earlier for my Kenny Scharf mural video.
A short test of techniques using stop-motion animation on a back-lit tray of brown sugar. I’m beta testing Big Picture software, which is a stand-alone camera controller for Canon Powershots and Canon DSLRs. It’s an off-shoot of the controller for Photoboof softwarel, and it is ideal for doing animation and time-lapse work. It has a bunch of features I haven’t begun to explore yet, for example, it has the ability to control multiple cameras simultaneously.
I made the animation stand out of stuff I had lying about, wood, window glass and an old heavy clunky tripod that I seldom used.
When the team pulled up the multi-corer, they were stunned by what they found: the cylinders filled with pitch black, gelatinous goo that looks exactly like crude oil. But it didn’t act like oil: the scientists were able to wash it off their hands easily, and it smelled strongly of sulfur, not petroleum. “As a sedimentoloist I can tell you that none of us have ever seen anything like this in the Gulf of Mexico,” Hollander says, “especially not in shallow water. It certainly didn’t belong there.”

This is a stop-motion animation test, manipulating wet flax seeds, and then applying some visual fx.
Testing out some new magnifying lenses for my camera. A fly found dead on the window sill, not fresh at all. I had it in a plastic container for years waiting for microscopic exploration.
