Time Bending Media Workshop
By CODAME.ORG
Oct. 26th at GitHub San Francisco http://codame.com/events/workshop-time-bending-media Join award-winning Austrian film director, filmmaker, professor, and multimedia artist [Virgil Widrich](/artists/virgil-widrich) in a workshop on the time-dilating “tx-transform” technique. Invented by collaborator Martin Reinhart, the film technique “tx-transform” exchanges the time (t) and space (x) axes in a film. Normally, each individual film frame represents the entire space, but only a brief moment of time (1/24 second). In the case of tx-transformed films, the opposite is true. Each film frame shows the entire time, but only a tiny part of the space. During this lecture and workshop, participants will learn the main techniques used to record tx-transformations: static camera, moving camera, and the rotation of filmed objects. Then the group will collectively produce different film recordings and apply the transformation techniques to the recordings and view the collective result. Workshop participants will work collectively with the internationally known artist using a camera, motion control, computer, and special software environment. All participants will receive a link to download the filmed material themselves. No special equipment is required. The [CODAME](/orgs/codame) [ART+TECH Festival](/orgs/codame/events/codame-art-tech-festival-2013) will also showcase this technique in two media installations — “tx-reverse” and “tx-mirror.” These works have been exhibited at Ars Electronica in Linz/Austria, ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe in Germany, Festival International du Cinema d’Animation Annecy, and other major venues across the globe. October 26th from 10am to 2pm @ GitHub, as part of [CODAME ART+TECH](/orgs/codame/events/codame-arttech-c1a) Festival 2019 『 SPACE 』 Real-time transformations with the “tx-mirror”
