dosfiend you're a pussy

I saw this today at the Wisconsin film festival. I have to say it really gave me a headache. I appreciate the design but its really too much of a sensory overload.

dpes anyone know what techniques/software he uses? beautiful stuff.

According to Nate Boyce who is a friend of Takeshi Murata he is manipulating codec divx. Which I don't really know what that means, but I think most of it is done by creating patches in jitter. Apparently in his more recent work, which I have yet to see, he is returning to doing hand drawn stuff on a wacom tablet.

Most modern video codecs are made up of keyframes and in between frames. The keyframes are full images, but the in between frames only record what has changed from the previous frame. When it's working correctly, it creates the illusion of continuous sequential images, but with much smaller file sizes. Takeshi is manipulating this process in a way where he is arbitrarily inserting and removing keyframes, so that the inbetween frames (which represent motion) become the focus...

[chadvonnau]

There's a lot more that he's doing to get from what I just described to a video like what you see above, but I'm pretty sure that's the essence of this technique. As far as HOW he actually does this, I dunno, magic?

[tootite4liph]

The secrets of Takeshi Murata - he turns the video files into to text. when the videos are in text form he manipulates them by deleting code etc. apparently he did a lot of commercial work so he was around tech savy guys and this is how he learned.

oh mister no it all are you

[margaux666999]

that technique is called Data Moshing. there's pretty good tutorials on utube that explains correctly how to do it with any video.

yea thanks for uploading this. Takeshi Murata's work blows my mind. I've been lucky enough to see a couple proper screenings of his stuff at Machine Project in LA and it is really something you've gotta experience. Hadn't seen this one yet, but it looks incredible.

[noisetuner]

that work is too good. i love the amazed voices and laughs of someone on the public.please upload more if you have, i imagine that some of the definition is lost on translation, but i live in argentina and for me is the only way to see some work of murata.

Thank you for uploading this. Did you record this at the Hirshhorn Gallery in Washington D.C.? I saw it there a few months ago and thought it was pretty mindblowing. I was disappointed that really nothing of Takeshi Murata's work can be found online. So yeah, thanks for this! I think it is called "Untitled (Pink Dot)."

[michaelcrowe]

Thanks! Yes,I recorded it at the Hirshhorn. I've a couple more clips of the other films he had on there, which I'd have uploaded here sooner, but my camera misses all the extraordinary detail unfortunately.

[xcrispusattucksx]

Yeah, it does look a lot different, but least now I have something to show other people when I'm trying to explain how great his stuff is!
