Into Infinity is an art and music exhibition by Dublab and Creative Commons which combines audio loops and “visual circles.” Since 2008 the exhibitions have taken place in Japan, but earlier this year they released a digital exhibition and the result is excellent. Audio loops are randomly paired with 12″ vinyl-cover sized pieces of art, and [...]
*deep breath* Here we go: a side-by-side video comparison test between a phone and a DSLR. Vimeo user Robino Films set up both ‘cameras’ as above, with the iPhone exposure-locked and the DSLR’s shutter speed, frame rate, exposure and picture style mirroring the phone as closely as possible. Click here for more details on how the [...]
Reuters is reporting that a 22 year-old New York college grad Maxwell von Stein has designed a bike with a flywheel that works on a similar principle as the hybrid car. The flywheel is a 15 pound, cast iron fly-wheel taken from a car engine, then mounted on the middle of the bike frame and fitted with [...]
Between sliders and stabilizing products like glidecams, BMX videographers have been going to great lengths to get smooth, steady motion out of their cameras. But earlier this year Adobe included a new feature in After Effects CS 5.5 called Warp Stabilizer that is pretty startling. Post-production stabilizing technology has been around for a while now, [...]
Here’s Corning’s look at the future. On one hand our lives look so much easier and more efficient because of the technology; on the other hand these people don’t go five seconds without touching a screen and the wife can’t even leave the driveway before swiping the navi ten or twenty times. I like that [...]

Last month, Rip Curl released a video as part of their Mirage promotional campaign featuring some shots taken with a 52-DSLR rig set up. They worked with Timeslice Films and rented the Sunway Lagoon water theme park in Malaysia for two days to make this happen, and the resulting footage is pretty phenomenal. If you’re [...]
London-based video artist and director Theo Tagholm makes some incredible work. Saw a video called Drift on todayandtomorrow recently and was really intrigued.

Remote camera angles are cool and I’m always stoked on seeing the process behind them. Cruising around some photography forums today I stumbled came across the site for Automotive Rigs – a company selling car-mount rigs designed specifically for automotive photographers. Check out some shots from their website and more rig photos after the jump.

Yesterday evening I had the pleasure of attending a chill event at the Tesla showroom in West LA. Tesla basically hosted a private presentation of their roadster for the Porsche club that Jim is a member of, so we were able to check out the cars in full detail, learn more about them, and even [...]

Aesthetic simplicity and functionality at its best! I was looking around at the NYtimes today and decided to check out the Conversations section and was very impressed! Not only were the videos done very well! The site itself should also have something said about it. experience it for yourself, my personal fav Conversation is Ben [...]
I love this thing even though it makes no practical sense. Check it out on Yanko Design.
When we pay with cash, we put less cash back in our pocket. A real-time reminder that we’re slightly poorer than we were a few seconds ago. But after paying with a card, the card goes back in the clip looking exactly the same, leaving us with only a vague idea of what we have [...]
Since I can barely turn on a computer, I approach design in the same way middle-aged men approach football. Instead of doing it, I like to drink a beer and watch it happen. And then listen to people talk about it. For that reason I found this article interesting. It’s about how everyone needs to [...]
I think Harrison posted on Dieter Rams before. He’s badass. I’m not a designer and I don’t know the first thing about it, but some of you fancy book-learners out there might enjoy this list on Vitsoe.com, as well as the photographs of a few super modern products Rams designed in the last five decades. [...]
I can’t remember when I first posted about the Aptera, but it was a long time ago and I was starting to think this thing may not happen. However, there has been a lot of interest, and it looks like it’s still on schedule for an October 2009 release. Recap: 100 miles on a charge, [...]
I’m not much of a video game dude but this looks really well done.
I love TED.com. All of the talks I’ve heard so far have been so amazing, I wasn’t sure which one to post up here first. I know a lot of Defgrip readers are creative types so I thought this one would be appropriate: renowned New York lawyer Larry Lessig so eloquently points out that the [...]
