Advanced Beauty Trailer
Published July 5th, 2008 in mov.
After screenings at Lovebytes and Cannes, Universal Everything’s Advanced Beauty reel will be available online in 1920 HD quality format. Starting on July 7th, every week there will be a new one on their site or via podcast. Here comes the trailer, which is very promising for the entire show.
Advanced Beauty is an ongoing exploration of digital artworks born and influenced by sound, an ever-growing collaboration between programmers, artists, musicians, animators and architects.
The first collection is a series of audio-reactive ‘video sound sculptures’. Inspired by synasthesia, the rare, sensory experience of seeing sound or tasting colours, these videos are physical manifestations of sound, sculpted by volume, pitch or structure of the soundtrack.

This piece of subversive art has been realised by the digital artist Oliver Laric. He deleted everything from the original video except Mariah Carey’s body. Excellent.

Ars Electronica Animation Festival Trailer
Published January 11th, 2008 in mov.
The Ars Electronica Animation Festival needed sujet, jingle and inserts for creating an appropriate setting when presenting over 200 works from different categories and all over the world. Looking at the ever-growing domain of generative art, it appeared appropriate to emphasize that generative animation has grown beyond what is called experimental. Each video submission was introduced with a random-animated insert solely created in vvvv.

The video functions as the narrator’s stream of consciousness. There are no linear storylines, but strong images connected to the narrator’s memento of the past, the presence and the future. The decision to use these fluent imagery works best for showing that every tense presents itself in the present: the very moment of thinking.
Directed by Judith Holzer and Rainer Kohlberger in 2007.
With Gabriella Cserhati.
Soundtrack by The Cinematic Orchestra.
Entry for the Radar Music Video Festival 2008.

Texta - So könnt’s gehen
Published October 17th, 2007 in mov. 
«So könnt’s gehen» basiert auf einem Zitat von Bert Brecht (”…es geht auch anders, aber so geht es auch…”). Ist dann durch den Wortfleischwolf gedreht worden, hat Hin- und Zurückinterpretationen durchwandert (4 um genau zu sein; 4 MCs) und ist jetzt eine Abhandlung über Verweigerung. Lustig, ironisch aber ernsthaft. So ungefähr, meint Huckey über den neuen Track von Texta. Im zugehörigen Video von Dieter Strauch sind die fünf Jungs mit einer «Supergroup» an Linzer Gastauftritten (Shy, Porn to Hula, Benedikt Walter und Tod Ernst) zu sehen.

Dovepeople
Published October 13th, 2007 in mov.
After many years of drug addiction, the party yuppie Jacob (Milton Welsh) is finally disillusioned. All his fears have ripped such a big hole into his life, which he couldn’t fill up with all the drugs in the world. Loosing the trust of his ex-girlfriend Anne (Florencia Lamarca) and being followed by Wusil (John Engel) a dealer known for his brutality, Jacob decides to commit suicide as his last chance to escape for ever from all his problems.
But during the passage between life and death he is confronted with voices of his past, who don’t want to let him go. As the borders between dream and reality blur he’s being transformed into something strange - filled with humanity but not human. A Young Boy (Jacob Baerenklau) who lives in an abandoned parking garage claims to be a intermediary between the long forgotten gods and the humans on earth. He explains to Jacob that the gods once decided to clean the world from greedy and selfish people, and get rid of them, by transforming them into pigeons . And Jacob is now one of them.
Being forced into this existence, he at first tries to escape. By trying to find a way out of this utopia, he slowly realizes something new in him: the will and the strength to really clean up his past. Step by step he finds himself facing his fears and changes the world to something better as he found it before.
Directed by Veith Michel
Cast: Milton Welsh, Florencia Lamarca, Jacob Baerenklau, John Engel
