Sand art video (cool performance art)
 

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.

lol wow!

very fucking cool indeed

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?

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?

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

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:

is their korean site

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

True art right there laides and gents'

Hard to find a better non-enhanced freeform.

Very clever.thanks.

Great stuff; thanks.

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!

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?

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

Now that was cool. I liked it a lot.

very original

so effortless

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

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

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

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!!?"

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

That was quite incredible, thanks for posting it :)

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

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

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

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

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

now that was nice!!!

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

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