Moving images
A co-worker lent me his slick hard-disk camcorder for the most recent visit to China. I’ve posted a few scenes from the B-grade horror movie known as the Night Market.
See also Night Market Parts Two and Three, a funky physics-defying aquarium/fishbowl hybrid, and this nifty digital book interaction.
I'm John Tolva, Chief Technology Officer for the City of Chicago.
I make music with Beat Research Chicago.
