View full lesson: http://ift.tt/2l7L9X0 In 1995, scientists pointed the Hubble Telescope at an area of the sky near the Big Dipper. The location was apparently empty, and the whole endeavor was risky – what, if anything, was going to show up? But what came back was nothing short of spectacular: an image of over 1,500 galaxies glimmering in a tiny sliver of the universe. Alex Hofeldt helps us understand the scale of this image.

Grow is a story about ups and downs of life we all have to face sometimes, but I'd love everyone to interpret this in their own way. It's a short personal film I've been working on in my spare time for the past year or so.

Adobe Research is bringing face painting to the digital world via a new application that lets the user paint on a single image of a person. Within this application, you can easily rotate the faces in the image to paint on non-frontal parts while the real-time paint simulation engine ensures the paint to naturally blends with the image in accordance with the input illumination. Adobe Researchers are aiming to bring this technology to Creative Cloud and mobile apps families as soon as possible.

Hanafubuki (cherry blossoms flying in the wind) is an exploration into the mind of a figure skater when training. Just like a flower, the final goal is to bloom and the process is harsh. This is the result of a collaboration between Nahuel Salcedo, Ondrej Zunka and Damian Sendin while working at Onesal in Tokyo, Japan.

Blooms are 3-D printed sculptures designed to animate when spun under a strobe light. Unlike a 3D zoetrope, which animates a sequence of small changes to objects, a bloom animates as a single self-contained sculpture. The bloom’s animation effect is achieved by progressive rotations of the golden ratio, phi (ϕ), the same ratio that nature employs to generate the spiral patterns we see in pinecones and sunflowers. The rotational speed and strobe rate of the bloom are synchronized so that one flash occurs every time the bloom turns 137.5º (the angular version of phi).* Each bloom’s particular form and behavior is determined by a unique parametric seed I call a phi-nome (/fī nōm/). -John Edmark Website: www.JohnEdmark.com Video by John Edmark ©2017 Creative Consultant: Terrence Tessaro McArdle Filming: Charlie Nordstrom Music: Brian Barcinas More Pier 9 Videos - www.vimeo.com/pier9 Pier 9 Artist in Residence program: www.autodesk.com/air *For this video, rather than using a strobe, the camera was set to a very short shutter speed in order to freeze individual frames of the spinning sculpture.

Our friends at UKTV invited us to collaborate on the very special 'Purpose' project, which aimed at re-defining and re-evaluating UKTV's purpose and greater mission statement. After an initial brief, we were sent off with the huge task to conceptualise and develop a virtual journey through the versatile and rich world of UKTV's iconic brands, channels and shows. After photographing pretty much every piece of furniture and memorabilia at the spectacular UKTV offices, we began building each element in 3D, creating a unique and stylised world that then became the 'Purpose' film. The end result? A virtual journey which takes the viewers on a 3D adventure through the world of UKTV, featuring the best bits of British TV. We were thrilled to collaborate closely with UKTV's top team, and very proud that the film received some rave reviews across various media platforms.

An ode to planet earth, solely told with organic fluids and a tiny crystal ball. Sometimes, the complexity of simplicity makes us fail to preserve the fundament of all we are and all we represent. But reaching awareness is not about the end, it is about the beginning. SINGULARITY takes us back to zero hour, 4.5 billion years back in time. It is the story of an indescribable hazard and a singular fortune: the fortune of being a human. This is organic FX from terracollage. Household ingredients and ink. Strictly 2D, no CGI. Headphones highly recommended!
