A new Chrome experiment project from the guys of Google Labs. This multiwindow video clip for OK Go shows the potential of HTML5 and JavaScript working together. There is no interaction, just turn the volume up and enjoy watching OK Go’s great choreography.
Aer Studio was invited once again to teach a workshop about interaction design at the Universidad del Norte in Barranquilla, Colombia. This time we worked around the topic of creating visual atmospheres that react to music. The students got into the role of VJs and made a set of visuals that were controlled using a Nintendo Wiimote.
We worked during 1 week with 20 students that came from different backgrounds: graphic designers, system engineers and musicians. This multitalented group of people gave the workshop a great level both visual and technical.
We would like to thanks Universidad del Norte, System Engineering department, León Mejia from Graphic Design deparment and specially the organizer, Marlem Uribe from the Biblioteca Karl. C. Parrish, for giving us the opportunity to participate in this great activity one more year.
Note: we used a blog during the workshop days to keep record of the process we did, and the references we watched and talked about. You can read it at virtualizarteuninorte2011.wordpress.com

Coachella Festival is a three-day annual music and arts festival held at the Empire Polo Fields in Indio, California. Take a look at this short film directed by Sam O’Hare who uses the tilt-shift technique to make everything look like small size model.
Electronic musician bRUNA was invited to perform at Sónar’s Chicago in September 2010. The performance was held in the majestic Chicago Cultural Center with it’s over 100 year old Tiffany Co. massive stained glass domes. As in Sónar Barcelona, we provided the visual accompaniment for bRUNA’s bright electronic music. Unfortunately, do to budget limitations we were unable to take the light table from the Barcelona performance, so we decided to bring the over-sized projection screen closer to bRUNA and therefore give all the protagonism to the visuals. bRUNA and Hector were swimming ceiling to floor in lights, patterns and glitches.
This project was done in collaboration with Ricardo Duque from Todojunto.
