Josef Hartwig chess set 1924, here 3d modeled and animated. I wanted the individual elements to interact in a different way. I thought the design of chess pieces invited to a kind of spatial games rather than a tradional flat one.
Periodic Table of the Elements here made as a building scaffold.
The pictures was taken during the exhibition Eksil 2007 (KBH kunsthal at Krappesholm højskole, Skive, DK). This project “no title” 2006 (CPH KUNSTHAL_Centenniale) was installe in the countryside and after some time more and more small animals came and the project came to resemble and were transformed to “Buzz” from the previous 2006
Placed in the swing door, at the main entrance of the Hospital.
Preceding animations to the work: ”Line meshing” 2012 http://jesper-carlsen.com/on/2012/01/line-meshing-2012/ and “Inside Tile Corner” 2012 http://jesper-carlsen.com/on/2012/01/inside-tile-corner-3x3x3-2012/ I actually still really like the visuals in these tests, so maybe they come to form the basis for several more projects. the sound bite for this test is from: http://www.moma.org/collection/details.php?theme_id=10955§ion_id=T019195 SOURCE: OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS , Constructivism
A 3d animation test I made in 2007. I still think it is a fine little dry animation and its in a way the predecessor of the project: “100 sider” from 2010 http://jesper-carlsen.com/on/2010/11/100-sider-2010/
The dead Corel reefs in Biosphere 2. We visited the place in 2007. Have had a great fascination of the place for a long time and was delighted to visit the site. It has a amazing story which I urge that you tjeck out, we’re talking: sci-fi, space travel, an oil millionaire, lifestyle experimentation, an almost religious cult and a very large, quite fascinating building with a giant artificial lung read more about Biosphere 2: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosphere_2
I did this small animation in 2008. Not much to say other then it is a form og minimal narrative.
after El Lissitzky’s painting, Composition, 1922 A 3D computer model built from an El Lissitzky painting. This i some of the test films which were to becom the project “Compositions” 2011. http://jesper-carlsen.com/on/2011/09/compositions-2011/ The final animation became very simple and slow, rotating around the object in 36000 frames, viewing the objects from all angles
A further development of the idea behind projects like : ”Copenhagen Flicker” 2009 http://jesper-carlsen.com/projects/2009_cph_flicker.html ”Colour Vision” 2009 http://jesper-carlsen.com/projects/2009_colour_vision.html Inspired by the event that led Brion Gysin to build the Dream Machine in 1960. “Had a transcendental storm of colour visions today in the bus going to Marseilles. We ran through a long avenue of trees and [...]
