Sophie Gateau

Hi Everyone. I'd like to post a link to this video, Sophie Gateau:Boa on the Lumen Eclipse site(Lumen Eclipse is a public art project displayed in Harvard Square, Cambridge MA).



The piece was produced a few years back, in 2004. Its a beautiful work that plays on the notion of animation and the hidden foundation of the cube. Here the cube becomes a physical (almost child-like) block that has video mapped on the faces. The video has imagery of average people which - while the blocks get moved around - can be configured in a seemingly infinite amount and variety of ways.

Whether its in Maya, I'm not absolutely sure. But there is definitely a creatively executed animated component to this film.
