Like thousands of people around the world, I took a time-lapse of the super blood moon. This was from our porch in Chicago, although doesn’t feature anything that is remotely identifiable.

Learn Italian
My friend Fiona Williams (who kindly helped me film the Nybble video) made a lovely stop-motion film about the now-probably-obsolete method of learning Italian by cassette. She filmed it in a Christopher Wren tower in London, using a cassette that she found in an attic. The result is charming, hilarious, bewildering and highly enjoyable.

Note: I feature as a technical advisor in the credits, but Fiona really deserves all the credit!
Waves lapping, Italy
I recorded this video of waves lapping on a beach in southern Italy recently. There was something mesmerising about this patch of water, which is far thicker than most. And a nice thud as it hit the shore. Was it adding to the shore each time, or taking away?
Thomas Feuerstein Psychoprosa
I gave a talk at the University of Innsbruck the other day, and on my day off I went to see the Thomas Feuerstein exhibition Psychoprosa. Unfortunately the show has now finished, but I made this video for future posterity:
The show was great. Lots of things that bubbled and wobbled, strange machines and pipes. Missing from the video is the room full of phantom fridges and ghosted CCTV footage. I’d love to see his studio.
This exhibition was on at Galerie im Taxipalais, Innstruck, Austria, 7 March – 10 May 2015. For more on Thomas Feuerstein, see his website.
Shadow chasing
I love it when the sun is low. Here’s some shadow chasing on Tottenham Court Road.
Video is on Vimeo.
Nybble code base
This is the video which explains how the code-base within my Nybble project works. Each symbol represents a dancer in the performance, and the combination of four dancers creates a letter.
For more information, see the Nybble page.
Love at first bite
A love story between a boxer and a toy pig.
Music by Barry White (of course).
Long train ride
I passed through what must be the longest station in the world the other day.
WIRED iPad idents demo
I made these idents for Wired magazine’s October issue, featuring Ant Ballet. The animations use the same pheromone-patch system as I used on the installation version of Ant Ballet, where virtual ants lay and follow each others’ pheromone trails, which fade over time.

RIP MCA
Sad to hear about the passing of Adam Yaunch a couple of days ago. The Beastie Boys are the soundtrack to much of machine-building – here’s a video from the construction of the Ant Ballet machine last year:
RIP MCA.
