The Talk Market: Making a Web Commercial

Mr. Singer joined last year with Amanda Eilian, a former Baker scholar at Harvard Business School, to build The Talk Market, which helps businesspeople shoot, edit and post videos to the Web. The service costs nothing, although users share with The Talk Market a 5 percent commission whenever someone clicks on the “buy” button in the video window.

The Talk Market begins with an online tutorial on how to shoot product demonstration videos: light well, change camera angles, speak as if you are talking to a friend and look directly into the lens “as if you’re locking eyes with your audience.”

The Medium

"About The Medium - With television and the Internet converging at last, who's going to watch all this here-goes-nothing online video? Everything from political propaganda videos to pseudo-candid celebrity rants seems to expect an audience. "The Medium" will find, review and make sense of all those senseless new images: web video, viral video, user-driven video, custom interactive video, embedded video ads, web-based VOD, broadband television, diavlogs, vcasts, vlogs, video podcasts, mobisodes, webisodes, mashups and more."

Multimedia Development

Joël Rodière

Combining the arts of design and coding, French creative studio Trafik designs dynamic visual art and interactive environments then builds the custom applications necessary to realize them. In creating exhibitions, scenography, and other multimedia projects for institutional, cultural and industrial clients, Trafik’s five graphic artists and one programmer push their Macs to the limit, using special applications created in Xcode in combination with other creative applications as primary design tools. Although their work runs the spectrum from classic graphic design to new media, they have received special attention for their signature interactive work. For their Sonic Cube, a large illuminated canvas box shown recently at the contemporary art center, La Ferme du Buisson in Paris, they developed an interactive application that reacts to sound. In this and other projects, Trafik’s designers and coders have uniquely established themselves as “artists of programming.”

New Moves: Accidental Movement and Mogollon’s Outmigration

When performative motion art and gastrointestinal delights intertwine like this, your mind, soul and body get fed. A blissfully visual motivity piece, Outmigration is the collaboration between avant-garde dance/theater group Accidental Movement and visual arts team Mogollon; it’s a “dinner theater” performance in seven acts being held this week at the Brooklyn art/dining space Monkey Town.

Featuring a full company of dancers, performance artists, sound designers and even a collaboration with Monkey Town’s chef, Outmigration suggests a time when dinner theater was common, while simultaneously glowing with futuristic vicissitudes cast on the state of performance. It’s a truly brilliant experience and a forward-thought achievement. It’s best summed up in the question Outmigration asks you to ask yourself: “What would it feel like to be able to take off, defeat gravity and get drunk at the edge of space, where one can only keep moving?”

Outmigration runs from Thursday, October 18th through Sunday, October 21st and from Thursday, October 25th through Sunday, October 28th. Thursday performances are at 8:00pm and Friday, Saturday and Sunday performances are at 7:30pm and 10:00pm.

Conserving Pixels, Bits, and Bytes

By Jacquelyn Lewis, Published: August 2, 2007

NEW YORK— No one can pinpoint the exact moment the new era began—when museums had to start seriously addressing the conservation challenges that come with the increasing appearance of digital art in major collections—but new media expert Richard Rinehart thinks the tide turned, appropriately, somewhere around the dawn of the new millennium.

“Digital art had been collected by a few museums, such as the Walker Art Center, but it was really at the turn of the century when long-term preservation became widely recognized as a big problem,” said Rinehart, digital media director and adjunct curator at the University of California Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive and associate director for public programs at the Berkeley Center for New Media.

New Media Showcase: Vertices

Williamsburg's artist-run new-media space, vertexList, takes its show on the road — all the way across town to Galapagos. Along with Game Boy-enabled tunes by Bit Shifter and circuit-music man Jamie Allen, a bevy of vertexList artists screen work. Lee Arnold's S-Bahn is a portrait of Berlin's rapidly changing landscape from the windows of its elevated subway. ETeam's Artificial Traffic Jam depicts an absurdist bottleneck in the middle of the Nevada desert. In Reincarnated Scenes, Kara Hearn re-enacts scenes from movies that made her cry, playing all the roles herself and using household objects for props. (HGM)
