Wandering through his Albany, Oregon “Castle of Chaos” he demonstrates his incredible inventions (like the Tri-Zonal Space Warper) and waxes philosophic on the subjects of reason and perception. Reflecting not only his creative genius, but also his principled lifestyle and profound involvement with the problems of human existence, A Thing of Wonder plays tribute to a man devoted equally to the science and magic of wonder.

The video was sung by a group of people in front of a live audience and was a crowd favorite. Ironically, I had to sing the Ewok Celebration Song in 6th grade choir.

The video consists of stop motion imagery of a wide assortment of vintage audio cassette tapes. All of the imagery was either scanned with an Epson 4490 flatbed scanner -or- shot with a Canon 7D, then Photoshopped and sequenced to create this montage.

This movie not only chronicles the life of the inimitable Mr. Buster; it examines the nature and importance of community in modern life. By revealing the richness of character in those around us who are so often overlooked, Honky Tonk Dirt shows what it means to cross that line from passerby to neighbor. In Lucky’s own words, “be good to your neighbors, and by golly you’ll have better neighbors.”

Wandering through his Albany, Oregon, “Castle of Chaos,” he demonstrates his incredible inventions (like the Tri-Zonal Space Warper), and waxes philosophic on the subjects of reason, perception, God and what he calls “the curse of contentment.” Reflecting not only his creative genius, but also his principled lifestyle and profound involvement with the problems of human existence, A Thing of Wonder pays tribute to a man devoted equally to the science and magic of wonder.

Fusing stunning photography of the collected beings (including time-lapse sequences and underwater video), thought-provoking commentary, and an atmospheric original score, The Beautiful and The Fine invites the viewer to at once experience the incredible beauty of these creatures and contemplate the circumstances of their captivity.

Richard Speer –  January 11, 2006

 

From 1998 to 2005, filmmaker Rob Tyler painstakingly hand-painted each of 15,000 frames of 16mm film, using acrylic paints, Magic Markers and fingernail polish to conjure swirling miasmas of seductive color. Each frame took an average of 30 minutes to complete, which gives you some idea of the artist’s utter obsession with the project, a limited-edition DVD titled Color and Modulation, currently showing at Center Space. At the show’s First Friday opening, various sections of the digitally manipulated film unfurled on 11 video monitors and a 10-by-15-foot projection screen as the ambient duo Unrecognizable Now played a live accompaniment track. Digital prints of freeze-frames hung on the walls, their working method reminiscent of avant-garde filmmaker Stan Brakhage, their imagery evocative of the Stargate sequence in Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. Tyler’s film and its pictorial offshoots recall—and handily dash—the old arguments about decorative, fine and cinematic art, and where to draw lines between them. The work is part of a movement that aims to turn today’s wildly popular widescreen and plasma TVs into vehicles for aesthetic contemplation. Tyler and other artist-designers such as colorcalm.com’s Robert Norton envision the high-resolution monitor not as a boob tube spitting out sitcoms and Fear Factor, but as a medium for mesmerizing progressions of form, color and motion. Bridging disciplines, Tyler has created a hauntingly beautiful work of art that sustains repeated viewings and invites metaphoric interpretation, even as it winks, whirls and flutters in gliding spools of pure, bravura eye candy.

Rory L. Aronsku – August 16, 2003

 

You gotta love the blender. Without it, who knows how many alcoholic concoctions might have been lost? The victims of blenders in this one include green peas with pearl onions and strawberries, used for blending what looks like a real kick-ass shake. We also get a look inside the blender when its blades are whirring, mixing up stuff.
