Sound Wave By Jean Shin

Records were melted and sculpted to form a cascading wave, dotted with bursts of colorful labels. The resulting structure speaks to the inevitable waves of technology that render each successive generation of recordable media obsolete. The piece also aims to physically manifest the ephemerality of music as well as one man’s musical tastes, as represented by his personal record collection.

Muto by Blu

Muto is an ambiguous animation by the artist Blu. The video depicts rough sketches of different figures melting into a fast paced environment. Painted on public walls in Buenos Aires and Baden, this video combines graffiti, rough sketchy figures, and trippy animation in a real world street setting. Overall, Blu did an incredible job with the animation by giving it the “acid trip” effect.
