    new project: Acedia.

    As mentioned previously, I’ve begun work on the Acedia project. I’ve been commissioned by the fashion designer Sample Remix, working alongside producer and DJ deadman dj (who has done a sterling job on the sound design for the teaser trailer).

    The film and performance will be premiered on the 10th October, in Camden. There is a photoshoot in a couple of weeks so I’ll make sure to put up the press release and some of the shots from the photoshoot.

    spot: Levi van Veluw

    Levi van Veluw is a multidisciplinary artist, living and working in the Netherlands. I came across his work a good few months ago now and was struck by it’s ability to present a tactility to simple presentation. His work is afaik all self portrait based being both expressive and introspective. He is a one man process.

    His works constitute elemental transfers – modifying the face as object – combining it with other stylistic elements to create a third visual object with a large visual impact. The work you see therefore is not a portrait, but an information-rich image of colour, form, texture, and content. The image contains the history of a short creative process, with the artist shifting between the entities of subject and object.

    quick update on current projects

    As the title suggests just an update on the current projects makemassair is involved with.

    I’ll be making some posts about recently completed projects too, shortly; including the General Midi Tour Visuals DVD.
