Wave Nine (W9)

Finally here it is the first “wave nine” trailer by Gabriele Guerra!

The spoken intro pays homage to 4 great sci-fi classics as “THX 1138″, “Blade Runner”, “Dark Star” and “Them!”.

“W9″ is a zero budget film, lo-fi style, cast and crew of four, 10 years in the making!

[ the audio of the trailer was disabled despite of non-profit and fair use; "re-enabled" by speeding it up to 101% ]

Nano Radio

Zymachi antennas resonate with appropriate radio waves [32]. Watch a real resonating nanotube, fundamental component of a nano radio.

California researchers Peter Burke and Chris Rotherglen have made a carbon nanotube demodulator that translates AM radio waves into sound, and incorporated it into a complete radio system:

Watch video below for further explanation.

Nano Video

Really amazing CGI animation that shows DNA coiling, replicating, transcripting and translating. It was created by Drew Berry of the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research. I love it because you hear the hum of molecular activity. Last part, on haemoglobine anaemia, is dramatic.

Next one is on HIV lifecycle, it isn’t as good, but it’s very educative.

In the meanwhile (2009) they discovered another way HIV spreads from cell to cell.

EGGcarton

An installation made with Giorgia Curti and Enrica Vatteroni at Crack!, Forte Prenestino, June 2008. A cartoonish room is mirrored by its inverted counterpart. The video was shot and edited by Enrica, along with the soundtrack that actually looped during the show.

Drawings were scanned and plotted at full size, then glued on a carton backing. Visitors were disoriented by the absence of their own reflection in the cutout mirror.

Poet’s Nest

A MASH-UP is a derivative work consisting of two pieces of (generally digitalmedia conjoined together, such as a video clip with a different soundtrack applied for humorous effect, or a digital map overlaid with user-supplied data. (Retrieved from “http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/mashup“)

The following, created by Gabriele Guerra, is a very ambitious mash-up: instead of a mere trailer, it re-edits two whole movies, ending up with almost an hour of good quality entertainment. What is really impressive of the operation, is that the two sources are not ridiculized, but almost strengthened in their assumptions and drama. Check out the trailer below, then you’ll want to see the entire thing.
