This exhibition reveals our fascination with movement and our desire to capture it through photography, film, television and new media. Alongside material from the National Media Museum’s Collection this exhibition will feature two new commissions by artists Anne-Marie Culhane &amp; Bob Levene and Davide Quayola &amp; Memo Akten. In the Blink of an Eye is part of New Worlds which is a strand of imove, a Cultural Olympiad programme in Yorkshire. imove has been funded by Legacy Trust UK, creating a lasting impact from the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games by funding ideas and local talent to inspire creativity across the UK. imove is also funded by Arts Council England&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://designatedave.tumblr.com/post/50581608974</link><guid>http://designatedave.tumblr.com/post/50581608974</guid><pubDate>Thu, 16 May 2013 08:52:18 -0700</pubDate><category>Nexus Quayola &amp; Memo Akten at the National Media Museum Nexus</category></item><item><title>http://bit.ly/TgobG4 Forms is an ongoing collaboration between...</title><description>&lt;iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/38421611" width="400" height="182" frameborder="0"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://bit.ly/TgobG4" target="_blank"&gt;http://bit.ly/TgobG4&lt;/a&gt; Forms is an ongoing collaboration between visuals artists Memo Akten and Quayola, a series of studies on human motion, and its reverberations through space and time. It is inspired by the works of Eadweard Muybridge, Harold Edgerton, Étienne-Jules Marey as well as similarly inspired modernist cubist works such as Marcel Duchamp’s “Nude Descending a Staircase No.2″. Rather than focusing on observable trajectories, it explores techniques of extrapolation to sculpt abstract forms, visualizing unseen relationships – power, balance, grace and conflict – between the body and its surroundings. The project investigates athletes; pushing their bodies to their extreme capabilities, their movements shaped by an evolutionary process targeting a winning performance. Traditionally a form of entertainment in todays society with an overpowering competitive edge, the disciplines are deconstructed and interrogated from an exclusively mechanical and aesthetic point of view; concentrating on the invisible forces generated by and influencing the movement. The source for the study is footage from the Commonwealth Games. The process of transformation from live footage to abstract forms is exposed as part of the interactive multi-screen artwork, to provide insight into the evolution of the specially crafted world in which the athletes were placed. The video installation is currently being exhibited at the National Media Museums ’In The Blink of an Eye’ Exhibition, 9th March – 2nd September, 2012, alongside classic images by photographers as diverse Harold Edgerton, Eadweard Muybridge, Roger Fenton, Richard Billingham and Oscar Rejlander as well as historic items of equipment, films and interactive displays.

This generative animation and interactive installation will display at the Museum from 9 March – 2 September. A large projection of the animation will be displayed within the space, with a smaller split screen mounted on a plinth just in front to show not only the original footage of athletes on which each animation is based, but also the individual layers of that animation, which can be digitally peeled back by the viewer.

The key lies in changing our spending habits and adhering to five key principles: &lt;strong&gt;Buy Experiences&lt;/strong&gt; (research shows that material purchases are less satisfying than vacations or concerts); &lt;strong&gt;Make it a Treat&lt;/strong&gt; (limiting access to our favorite things will make us keep appreciating them); &lt;strong&gt;Buy Time&lt;/strong&gt; (focusing on time over money yields wiser purchases); &lt;strong&gt;Pay Now, Consume Later&lt;/strong&gt;(delayed consumption leads to increased enjoyment); and &lt;strong&gt;Invest in Others&lt;/strong&gt;(spending money on other people makes us happier than spending it on ourselves).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://designatedave.tumblr.com/post/50501484381</link><guid>http://designatedave.tumblr.com/post/50501484381</guid><pubDate>Wed, 15 May 2013 09:03:00 -0700</pubDate><category>Happy Money</category></item><item><title>Thanks Mom</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/6c72f62e1ec69722bbf0b04a15fea3bc/tumblr_mmtikcwIr51qaohluo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks Mom&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://designatedave.tumblr.com/post/50467439496</link><guid>http://designatedave.tumblr.com/post/50467439496</guid><pubDate>Tue, 14 May 2013 19:21:47 -0700</pubDate><category>Instagram</category></item><item><title>The Holydrug Couple live at Mercury Loung NYC 21-3-2013</title><description>&lt;iframe src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F84465582&amp;liking=false&amp;sharing=false&amp;origin=tumblr" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" class="soundcloud_audio_player" width="500" height="116"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Holydrug Couple live at Mercury Loung NYC 21-3-2013&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://designatedave.tumblr.com/post/50424265884</link><guid>http://designatedave.tumblr.com/post/50424265884</guid><pubDate>Tue, 14 May 2013 08:42:43 -0700</pubDate><category>From The Bed Recordings The Holydrug Couple - Out of sight (Live at Mercury Lounge)</category></item><item><title>Audio</title><description>&lt;iframe src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F61249145&amp;liking=false&amp;sharing=false&amp;origin=tumblr" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" class="soundcloud_audio_player" width="500" height="116"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://designatedave.tumblr.com/post/50424265029</link><guid>http://designatedave.tumblr.com/post/50424265029</guid><pubDate>Tue, 14 May 2013 08:42:42 -0700</pubDate><category>Numb</category><category>adhocfm Andy Stott:</category></item><item><title>Artwork by Bendik Kaltenborn (www.benkalt.no)</title><description>&lt;iframe src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F74428294&amp;liking=false&amp;sharing=false&amp;origin=tumblr" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" class="soundcloud_audio_player" width="500" height="116"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Artwork by Bendik Kaltenborn (&lt;a href="http://www.benkalt.no" target="_blank"&gt;www.benkalt.no&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://designatedave.tumblr.com/post/50424263883</link><guid>http://designatedave.tumblr.com/post/50424263883</guid><pubDate>Tue, 14 May 2013 08:42:41 -0700</pubDate><category>toddterje LINDSTRØM &amp;
