Sand art video (cool performance art) - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Vyk · 11-13-2003, 08:27 AM

Thought I'd share this neat video of a perfomance artist working with an overhead projector and sand. It's truly amazing what he can do with it. He uses it like a giant free form Etch-a-Sketch on crack or something

it's an 18.4 meg video so sorry those without broadband.

kukyfrope · 11-13-2003, 08:43 AM

lol wow!

MontanaXVI · 11-13-2003, 09:12 AM

very fucking cool indeed

krazykemist · 11-13-2003, 09:30 AM

Wow. That was incredibly unique.
The evolution of his work was amazing.
Do you have any infomation about the artist so that I can see more of his stuff?

Batman976 · 11-13-2003, 09:42 AM

Yeah that's badass. I almost couldn't believe my eyes when he went from a ram to a monkey to a lion (is that what it was? I already forgot). Was that his name he wrote at the end?

Esoteric · 11-13-2003, 10:11 AM

That was fuckin great, I really liked how he went from a ram to monkey to lion. He has some talent.

Vyk · 11-13-2003, 10:20 AM

I don't know who the artist was. What he wrote was SiCAF 2003. This was done at the Seoul International Cartoon & Animation Festival 2003. The transitory nature of what he did makes it so incredible. I really wish I knew the guy's name.

I checked out their web page but couldn't find out the artist's name. If anyone knows Korean here, they might have a better chance

Update: Parangako is the artist's name. He's a hungarian animator.

here's their english site:

http://www.sicaf.or.kr/newsicaf2003/eng/e_about/

it has some other interesting art and pictures.

http://www.sicaf.or.kr/NEW/

is their korean site

jerseyboy · 11-13-2003, 11:00 AM

I dunno I found the whole thing kinda boring after about 30 seconds.

BonesCPA · 11-13-2003, 01:00 PM

That was something. You could follow the progression of the pictures, and just when you saw it complete he would change it up. Very interesting.

yournamehere · 11-13-2003, 01:09 PM

Is it just me, or was there a theme to the "random" drawings?

Seemed to me he was showing a history of our planet, from both an evolutionary and (I guess - mostly) biblical perspective.

Your results may vary

Snakebyt · 11-13-2003, 01:22 PM

that was really cool.. that man has alot of talent

Grondar · 11-13-2003, 03:33 PM

Very impressive.

I've never seen this form of art before, and it's certainly nice to see something new and fresh.

He is certainly a very talented individual.

bermuDa · 11-13-2003, 06:38 PM

that's wild! I was expecting something like tibetan sand murals, this wasn't as beautiful but definitely more entertaining!

Tirian · 11-13-2003, 08:44 PM

I liked that a lot. Great way of producing both high contrast solid lines and interesting gradients.

Talented artist !

Hmmm.. Airbrush + sand = interesting negative gradient.

Destrox · 11-14-2003, 05:03 AM

True art right there laides and gents'

Hard to find a better non-enhanced freeform.

monty121052 · 11-14-2003, 05:14 PM

Very clever.thanks.

hoboballer · 11-14-2003, 07:14 PM

Great stuff; thanks.

WarWagon · 11-14-2003, 09:28 PM

Definitely trippy. I wasn't expecting him to be so fluent, seemed like the only mistakes he had to correct was at the very end!

happymaan · 11-15-2003, 03:28 PM

I really enjoyed that, thanks...so many idiots taking flash pictures those sorta pissed me off.

Don't people understand that flash photography doesn't really work with projected images?

bit_of_honey · 11-15-2003, 06:40 PM

Thanks for a great post.. that was very amazing and interesting!!

OU812 · 11-15-2003, 07:51 PM

Now that was cool. I liked it a lot.

Craven Morehead · 11-15-2003, 11:24 PM

very original

so effortless

really liked the music, also - anyone know what that was?

Tiger69z · 11-16-2003, 12:15 AM

Yea saw it a while ago...friggen nice...original too

Gortexfogg · 11-16-2003, 12:19 PM

Amazing stuff...to make such detail with sand is just incredible. Thanks for posting, that 9 minutes was worth evey second!

wallaby72 · 11-16-2003, 03:36 PM

That was very good - he makes it seem so quick and simple.

I would hate to be his cleaner though - "just WHO is going to clean this shit up!!?"

tangledweb · 11-16-2003, 04:07 PM

Very unusual and cool stuff. He was very fluid with his transitions and very polished. Good stuff.

31Friction · 11-16-2003, 05:04 PM

That was quite incredible, thanks for posting it

gophersurf · 11-16-2003, 08:26 PM

Quite cool. Its amazing how those inclined to do so can find the most interesting mediums in which to express themselves.

LewisCouch · 11-17-2003, 08:32 AM

Great find! This fellow, utilizing nothing but sand and light, captured my imagination. He's most unique and his work refreshing.

Minx · 11-17-2003, 10:08 AM

Wow! This was really great - I loved the lion especially and how everything just flowed together so well.

tj2001cobra · 11-17-2003, 11:11 AM

I envy people with artistic talent like that. I couldn't draw a stick figure house without tracing it. That was SOOO cool!

Tiser · 11-17-2003, 11:25 AM

So smooth. I've showed it to the gang here.

Hanxter · 11-18-2003, 09:40 AM

now that was nice!!!

the story of adam and eve... thanx... made my day!!!

dailyjo2003 · 11-18-2003, 11:56 AM

Saw that at College Humor. Very cool video. Talented artist - at least I couldn't do it.
