Blade Runner Aquarelle Edition, Part 1 (Teaser) 

A remix of the film Blade Runner, created with frames handmade with watercolour pencils:

This animation is made of 3285 aquarelle paintings and form the very beginning of my paraphrase on the motion picture Blade Runner (1982) by Ridley Scott.
The sound is borrowed from the original movie.

The video, embedded below, is only a few parts of the film, all very recognizable:

Pretty Eight Machine by Inverse Phase 

Chiptune re-engineered version of Nine Inch Nail’s ‘Pretty Hate Machine’ album.

This is Pretty Hate Machine, re-imagined in its entirety on eight different 8-bit systems, so I’ve named it “Pretty Eight Machine”. Sound configurations include: SID/6581 (Commodore 64), POKEY (Atari 800), straight 2A03 (NES), AY/SCC+ (MSX+Metal Gear 2 or Snatcher cartridge), SN76489 (Sega Master System), 2A03+VRC6 (Famicom+Castlevania 3 cartridge), LR35902 (Game Boy), and OPLL (MSX-MUSIC or Japanese Sega Master System).

You can listen to the album in the embed below, or check out the Bandcamp page with more information here

intothecontinuum:

Phillip Stearns over at Year of the Glitch recently remixed an intothecontinuum GIF. From what I am aware of no one has ever done an edit of any of my posts before, and I have never edited anyone else. So, I did a remix of the remix, which is shown above. Its what would result from transforming his edit into log-polar coordinates.

See the original post here, and the Year of the Glitch edit here.

Mathematica code:

Remix := Import["yearoftheglitchremix.gif"]

f[x_, y_] := {Log[Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]], ArcTan[x, y]}

ListAnimate[
 Table[
  ImageTransformation[
   Part[Remix, j],
   f[#[[1]], #[[2]]] &, 
   DataRange -> {{-1.2 Pi, 1.2 Pi}, {-1.2 Pi, 1.2 Pi}}],
{j, 1, 18, 1}]]

Perfume - MOCAP Remix

Japanese girl pop group’s website features an interactive 3D MOCAP dance animation, abstract polygon figures in a vector disco.

What is interesting is that the dance data is available from their site for anyone to remix and develop. One example is this interactive 3D javascript version that runs within the browser:

The version at Perfume’s site is worth a minute of your time, which you can see here, the data is available in the download section.
