Us and Them

There is something mysterious about space. Gazing at a starry night sky reminds us how small we are in grand scheme of the universe (or this universe... goddam scientists always making it bigger and more complicated). It reminds us how insignificant our day to day struggles and stresses really are and how silly we are to spend some much time fretting and worrying. Sometimes we just need to take a step back from our lives and see the beauty of the world around us. This is now made 10x easier because NASA has stapped a camera to a satellite orbiting the earth so now we can see it time-lapsed in HD with a click of mouse. Which you should immediately do.

Just Watch It

Tethered to videos. Maybe a biased design of mine. I'll have to rethink the mobiles above my cradle, huh.

well... what have you done with your life?

This one is native to the thin wisps that seethe above us, half real clouds that incite the sensation of losing a word on the tip of your tongue, while it eats itself in suicidal evaporation. One of these guys says that slack-lining above a biblical abyss, without a harness, is true "freedom." One can't help but feel trapped, here, beneath the boiling sky, when one knows that others have been in it.

Bristle Sprouts

We ravage the land, creating centers, which generate their own edges. How these two roll in the hay gives a space life, and when periphery and center are denied their biological tendency to copulate, when continuity and permeability are hindered, natures bristles sprout. Here is a video I threw together for an architecture project. Forgive the ending, my editing is the headliner at the amateur hour.

The Other Half

Why make only one dope video, when you can make two? May seem arbitrary, but when you see this, compared the earlier video of the marching band, you may want to reconsider your creative approach. A love letter to re-iteration.

Eyes Wider Than Before

This video may be cliche at this point, as it's embedded in the tech-knowledge of most internet goers, but I can't seem to separate myself from the distinction between his eyes at the beginning and the end. A distance that we all relate to, engage in, our own spheres seeing in his a quality of ourselves. That mirror, that space in his life, is ornamented with experience, a linear segment made enigmatic by the lens of his personal narrative. Structure breathed into by a modern odyssey. To each, his own myth.
