Fahrradi Farfalla FFX

After creating the worlds slowest Porsche, the Ferdinand GT3, Austrian Artist Hannes Langeder has gone and done it again with the Fahrradi Farfalla FFX. The worlds slowest Ferrari. This car looks so good, it'd be a shame if it just zoomed by. Pedal powered for that essential eco-boost. Check out the whole foto set of the «car's» creation and some action-shots on Langeder's flickr site.

Report on the «Bloch»-Project by SF Kulturplatz

Kulturplatz, the culture-programme, on Swiss TV has made a report about the «Bloch»-project. Jamie & me get our 1,5 seconds of fame. Times have changed since Warhol…

Back To The Roots

I have recently completed a new video. This film tracks the path of the Bloch from Bern to it's roots in a forest near Urnäsch. Jamie Wong-Li and me took this journey as part of our performance for the Bloch-Project by Com & Com. Visit the dedicated Bloch website bloch23781.com for infos. Thanks to Reto Balmer for filming and photography.
Oh, and I have opened my own video-channel on Vimeo: Steven Götz.

Making of «One Life?»

Patrik Zeller has just posted a making of video for our project «One Life?» on his blog.

«One Life?» Video for Kaleidoscope String Quartet

I just completed this video a couple of days ago. It is for a track called «One Life?» by the Kaleidoscope String Quartet. In it's original version it is purely strings. This video is for the remix by Patrik Zeller, who brought in some drums and electronic noodlings.

The epic scope of the sound inspired me to try timelapse photography for the first time. Little did I know, how much time this technique requires. For one minute of video you need 60 times 25 pictures, which makes 1500 individual photos. For a video of about six minutes length this means 9000 images. Considering you cannot use all the material and you need some room to play during editing, i reckon I must have taken between 15'000 and 20'000 photos for this project. Mind you, I'm very pleased with the result.

Vanhulsteijn Bicycles

If these are not some of the most elegant bicycles I've ever seen…

Vanhulsteijn make all their stainless steel frames by hand in Holland.

The weight of the bike is only 9,5 kg. The steel frame probably makes this bike quite comfortable to ride too. Find more infos on the Vanhulsteijn website.

Osaka Station City Water Print

I posted this, just because I think it's pretty. Computer controlled waterjets create freefalling patterns. Quite ingenious! Apparently it is the so called «Space Printer» technology by KOEI Co, from Osaka, Japan.
