Hasta La Motion!

A long journey that began on 28 July, SPAC3 has adopted the symbol of the Third Paradise as the worldwide symbol of “VITA”. It is the third long-term mission of Italian astronaut Paolo Nespoli in collaboration with ASI (Italian Space Agency), ESA (European Space Agency), RAM (radioartemobile) and Cittadellarte – Pistoletto Foundation.

This project aims to engage the whole world into communicating and sharing the work’s meaning and mission. Pictures by Paolo Nespoli will be made accessible to web users, through the ‘Space Three’ app – SPAC3 which is an easy-to-use application developed by ESA with RAM in collaboration with ASI and Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto. It will be available for IOS and Android smartphones.

Following the proposed themes, the users will have the possibility to combine the space photos by Paolo Nespoli with the earth images by the user within the symbol of the Third Paradise.

The images generated with this combination were once shared across several social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and will be displayed in a large, interactive mosaic using the shape of the Third Paradise. This will enable everybody in the world to partake in this unique, dynamic social artwork.

In this video we break down all the new improvements to Cinema 4D R19’s improved Voronoi Fracture object.

New Voronoi Fracture Features we Cover

We are going to jump into C4D R19’s Voronoi Fracture and check out:

• Sorting (The order in which the cells are indexed)
• Detailing (Adding internal detail and complexity)
• Connectors (Quickly linking cells to each other dynamically)
• Geometry Glues (Merging cells together to create more complex chucks)
• Cells Scaling (Stretching cells to create new styles of break patterns like slices and splinters)
• New Vertex Tag Outputs (Get Vertex Maps that cover the internals of the Fracture and the edges)

Some Deleuzian film-material thinking or -voyaging: ‘The libido does not undergo metamorphoses, but follows world-historical trajectories. From this point of view, it does not seem that the real and the imaginary form a pertinent distinction. A real voyage, by itself, lacks the force necessary to be reflected in the imagination; the imaginary voyage, by itself, does not have the force, as Proust says, to be verified in the real. This is why the imaginary and the real must be, rather, like two juxtaposable or superimposable parts of a single trajectory, two faces that ceaselessly interchange with one another, a mobile mirror. Thus the Australian Aborigines link nomadic itineraries to dream voyages, which together compose “an interstitching of routes” .. “in an immense cut-out [découpé) of space and time that must be read like a map.” At the limit, the imaginary is a virtual image that is inter-fused with the real object, and vice versa, thereby constituting a crystal of the unconscious. It is not enough for the real object or the real landscape to evoke similar or related images; it must disengage its own virtual image at the same time that the latter, as an imaginary landscape, makes its entry into the real, following a circuit where each of the two terms pursues the other, is interchanged with the other. “Vision” is the product of this doubling or splitting in two (doublement ou dedoublement], this coalescence. It is in such crystals of the unconscious that the trajectories of the libido are made visible.’ Text from Gilles Deleuze, “What Children Say,”, ESSAYS CRITICAL AND CLINICAL (London: Verso, 1998), pp. 62-3.
