Bumping Cypherghost's link through to BoingBoing, but this burning Elmo video is one part of a three part series that starts with this video. Watching the chared, burning robot flailing its metal limbs against the ground and laughing manically evokes some of the more disturbing scenes from the Animatrix. The future is machines that don't break down, they die.

I projected photographs of mutilated and dead Iraqis on American houses, supermarkets, churches, and parking lots.

Some recent audio/video projects that use generative processes to yield surprising results. "Temporide" does a pixel-by-pixel delay on a video, showing many time lapses simultaneously. Spectral splicing, morphing, and reconstitution creates new audio based out of what you feed it. And "Ghost Jockey" generates a continuous stream of mashup audio and video.

Daniel Iglesia makes electronic music and video, or more accurately, is lazy and creates machines that do it for him.

In this talk, I will present my work on sound source separation with applications for music. Music is repetitious in nature and this repetition actually informs the source separation process. I derive an automated statistical approach based entirely on repetitive structure to separate sound sources. In addition, spectrograms contain time-frequency structure. This structure may be factored into note-like components containing a spectral shape modulated by an amplitude envelope. When multiple spectrograms are available, I show how to incorporate this additional spatial information to separate components and combine them to form the original source signals.

Revealing more about himself than he ever has, Garry Trudeau gives us tantalizing clues about what's behind his venerable comic strip's recent burst of genius, and pain.

This is a good read on many levels.
