Digitalisation with a human touch Articles

The short film “The Thomas Beale Ciphers” by Andrew S. Allen (under CC BY NC ND) is a gem of an animated film – with a very unique aesthetic.

Here it is – the review announced some time ago of the photo DVD box set “One Light Setups” by Martin Krolop and Marc Gerst: over five hours of concentrated studio photography and image editing knowledge.

Beautiful project, found at Spreeblick: The Norwegian photography artist Eirik Solheim has again realised a project about the seasons, titled “One Year in 2 Minutes”.

I have wanted to share this with you for a long time: Richard, owner of the Waaaaaah! label and fanzine from the early 90s, has put all publications online for free download – digitized from the LP, so please do not expect any sound revelations.

In the online media library “Europa Film Treasures”, 30 European film archives made some of their collections freely accessible online. There are some great films in it.

It is time again to introduce a movie close to my heart: “Renaissance”, an animated science fiction film by Frenchman Christian Volckman from 2006, with a very special visual language.

It’s been a while since I have delighted or annoyed you with musical discoveries from the depths of the web (depending on your taste) – I think it was the EP by The Cults from the early days of my magister thesis break. Now it is time to change that.

Due to my magister thesis, my blog has been a bit quiet in the last few months. However, now that the thesis is quietly sitting on my examiners’ desks, I finally have time to devote to other things. A good starting point for that: Since Friday evening, the first Photography Days are taking place in Trier, organized by the Kulturverein Bild und Kunst, conceived by Christoph Tannert. Until December 12, works by various artists will be presented at four exhibition venues (Stadtmuseum Simeonstift, Bischöfliches Dom- und Diözesanmuseum, Viehmarktthermen and Frankenturm), with a special edition of the esteemed magazine dienacht serving as the exhibition catalog. Today I was on tour and looked at all the exhibitions. It has become a versatile exhibition that covers a wide spectrum of photography under the motto “LIFE elementary” – but in my opinion it suffers from being split into four locations.

A few weeks ago, I won the “Special Light” DVD by Krolop-Gerst, and of course, I was really happy about it. It took a while, but I have now watched it, and because I believe that you should always give something back, I decided to write a review. If you are interested in affordable light sources, you should definitely read on.

Anyone who knows me is sure to know that I love movies. Here is the deal: every now and then, I will recommend a movie worth watching. And then you watch it. Or you do not, and let me know why not. Sounds good? Okay, so here we start. I will start with the film noir classic “M”, made in 1931 by Fritz Lang.
