In case you haven't seen it already, the pop band OK Go (they of "treadmills video" fame) have created yet another fantastic music video.

The Rube Goldberg machine was built by Syyn Labs, a group of "...creative engineers who twist together art and technology... (and) build interactive installations that encourage strangers to play together by lowering social barriers."

Amazing stop-motion music video for a Dutch "collective" called Nobody Beats the Drum, whose music is (self-) described as a "...fusion of breaks, electro, hip-hop, and every other form of music that whips a crowd into a sweaty, writhing heap of body parts..."

But almost as cool is the "making-of" video, which is a rather tragic tribute to the single-minded passion that true creative genius requires... and the toll such obsession invariably takes...

it's a green screen world...

Stargate Studios is a high-tech production house that specialises in visual effects for the tee-vee and film industry, and they are playing at the top of the game. Check out the very impressive showreel for their "virtual backlot"... where they film sequences for a whole range of programmes you've definitely seen. Very cool stuff.

artma charity auction...

My sister and brother-in-law run a charity in memory of their daughter, my niece Morgan Courtney Adams, who died of brain cancer in 1998 at age six. Every year, the Morgan Adams Foundation runs various fund-raising events, with the proceeds going to pediatric cancer research projects at the Childrens' Hospital in my home town, Denver, where they live.

Every two years, they hold a fund-raising art auction, called artma, and this year it's happening on 06 February. If you're in Denver or travelling there then, you can still get artma tickets... if you're interested in finding out more, check out the links embedded here... or you can just dive straight in and donate directly online.

Below is a video the Foundation made featuring some of the families whose kids have been helped by the research it has funded... and recently, the Huffington Pos t featured a nice little piece on artma.
