CALLING ALL CINEMATOGRAPHERS! Let’s RECord a ton of high-quality footage of flickering light! You could shoot light that occurs naturally from the stars or the sun, or you could shoot artificial light like city lights or neon signs. Be as creative as you’d like!

"Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its..."

““Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.””

- Brian Eno, A Year With Swollen Appendices, 1996. I saw part of this quotation and thought “that’s fantastic”; some judicious googling turned up both the source (hat tip to here) and more of the original thought.  (via imathers)
