Fedcon 2009 Opening Ceremony Star Trek Animation from Tobias Richter on Vimeo.

“We produced a 5 minute HD animation for the opening ceremony of the 2009 “Federation Convention”, Europes biggest Science Fiction Convention. The movie incorporates the two main ships of the new Star Trek movie – the USS Kelvin and the USS Enterprise.

Modelled and animated based on the meager information that was available before the start of the new movie, the models are almost indistinguishable from the actual filming models.”

You can get some nice desktop images from them too!

How about some customized Enterprise models? My favorite is the House Industries version (#5).

That is Nam June Paik’s “One for Violin Solo.” If you like that, check out these unusual scores.

And this is a performance of Stockhausen’s “Helicopter String Quartet” – sheet music available on his site.

“The secret lives of invisible magnetic fields are revealed as chaotic ever-changing geometries. All action takes place around NASA’s Space Sciences Laboratories, UC Berkeley, to recordings of space scientists describing their discoveries. Actual VLF audio recordings control the evolution of the fields as they delve into our inaudible surroundings, revealing recurrent ‘whistlers’ produced by fleeting electrons. Are we observing a series of scientific experiments, the universe in flux, or a documentary of a fictional world?“

“Start with a gas cloud, and click where you want to detonate supernovae, corralling the gas. Do it right, form stars, and you move to the next level. Do it wrong, and the cloud dissipates, and you fail in your godlike powers of birth and death.”

Kathy Keknek and Janet Aglukkaq demonstrate Inuit Throat Singing. Until seeing this video, I haven’t heard this style of throat singing – only the Tuvan style. This is pretty impressive. If someone would only attempt this on American Idle [sic], I might watch.
