A Proper (retroactive) Heating System

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

This is a little late, but not really. Flux Factory finally started its first Kickstarter campaign with a drive to purchase and install a new heating system (unit, ducting, labor) for our remodeled facility in Long Island City’s Dutch Kills neighborhood.

We’re only two weeks shy of the arrival of Spring, so we’re definitely through the thick of Winter, but this campaign is still as valid as ever. Oddly enough on the day we made this film it was also warm outside, but there were definitely days where everybody was wearing 3, 4, 5 layers in order to stay toasty. Plenty of times my sock-layer scene was lived out. Or hot water became super-chilled in minutes. It wasn’t always very pleasant. We survived – clearly – but the building still needs work, adjustments and improvements. So help us raise the money we need by pledging. With Kickstarter, your money is only pledged if we meet our target goal of $5000 – and our thinking is that if everybody we know gave us $1 we should be good (yes, we know mad numbers of peoples!).

Ahhh good times. Never thought Pee Wee would return, or be so culturally hip once he did come back. But thankfully he did, because this is priceless:

the first Holoscape video

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

back in September I did a collaborative one-day installation with Martina Mrongovius. She’s in Germany now working on the first printing of the Holoscape in holographic format, but in the meantime she sent me this video, a time lapse of our construction (and de-construction of sorts at the end) of the Holoscape landscape. Pretty coooool!

The Holoscape was a real-time installation made during the 2009 Conflux festival by artists Martina Mrongovius and Nick Normal. The installation used social media services like Twitter and Flickr to generate a collective collage of experiences.

two trailers to watch over and over

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

the first is this Hong Kong film Future X-Cops which should be released the first week of February, next month, and looks to have some wonderful effects. Personally I love my Asian sci-fi because they just have a different sensibility, where science is subtle and beautiful but also outlandish:


(As for guns for arms, does anybody else want a Major Lazer movie to happen now?)

Oh yeah, and MacGruber has a movie coming out!
