Kunio Katō 🎬 La Maison en Petits Cubes

 

La Maison en Petits Cubes (つみきのいえ, Tsumiki no Ie, "The House of Small Cubes") is a 2008 Japanese animated short subject film created by Kunio Katō. It won several prizes, including the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 2009. It has a visual palette that's much different and more rustic than many other cartoon shorts. It follows an older man who lives alone and is forced to keep adding levels to his home to stay dry as the rest of the town slowly floods with water. One day, after accidentally dropping his pipe into the water, he dives down after it, going through the other rooms in search of it and making him relive some of his life as memories begin to resurface. These memories include many eventful times in his life, as well as times from before the flood.

Jeremy Rotsztain :: BECHA-KPACHA

 

BECHA-KPACHA is an algorithmic music video for the electronic musician COH. The song's tittle (pronounced Vesna Krasna) was taken from an old Russian poem and roughly translates "Spring the beautiful", though it can also mean "Spring the red." The animation reference's traditional Russian folk patterns, commonly known as Hohloma. In these patterns, colorful plant leaves expand and twist around one another while fruit grows along side. These patterns were a starting point for this sound-responsive animation. BECHA-KPACHA was programmed using openFrameworks. It uses Kyle McDonald's ofxFFT library for audio analysis and James George's ofxTimeline for arranging the different visual objects and behaviors. COH provided me with a collection different audio tracks — synthesizer arpeggiators, percussion, bleeps and bass — which were used to trigger and animate various shapes in three dimensional space. BECHA-KPACHA is one of a handful of videos that accompany the release of his album "To Beat" on Editions Mego. Other videos, by Julieta Triangular, Mariann Lois-Iron and Paul Prudence can be found on COH's Vimeo channel.

Jeremy Rotsztain (b. 1977 in Toronto, Canada) is an artist and software programmer working with computer graphics to explore new modes of abstraction—across video installations, virtual reality worlds, mobile phone applications, and digital prints.
