EVERYTHING – mini masterpiece from David OReilly

Posted on June 5, 2017 by daveb1950

This is (I guess) a promo for an interactive game with the tag “Be the Universe in this epic reality simulation game” created by David OReilly. I better stop there. I am NOT a gamer, and I have no business trying to explain a world I can not understand. BUT, as a film, a meditation, a work of art, EVERYTHING is a work of great beauty. Give it a chance to grow on you, let it unfold before your eyes and mind. Featuring narration by philosopher Alan Watts. Inspired.

This is a finished version of the “Cloud Mirror” post from February. Didn’t change much: extended the length of the cloud segments & added the rising spheres. Meditate on this, we are part of something greater !

Cloud Mirror (a work in progress)

I’ve been collecting time-lapse clouds for a number of years and thought it was time for an assemblage of some of the nicest ones, but with an abstract twist (the mirror effect). Kind of makes you look at it differently.

Bruce Conner and the Art of Juxtaposition

Posted on October 2, 2016 by daveb1950

conner-imagef-00003 Dennis Hopper called Bruce Conner “the most important artist of the 20th century”. He frequently recycled stock footage, found objects, photographs, clippings, whatever, into “assemblages” filled with irony, humor & pathos. I first encountered Conner via “A MOVIE” in High School nearly 50 years ago, and either consciously or sub-consciously, he has been a huge influence on my film work. Bruce Conner: It’s All True is a career spanning retrospective which will be at SFMOMA (San Francisco) from late October to January 2017.
