“Dreaming of Lucid Living” is a short film that’s a remarkable, beautiful performance/animation mash-up by the award-winning animator, designer and multi-media artist Miwa Matreyek. The film is a performance/installation piece constructed like a shadow puppet theater, integrating Matreyek’s solo live performance, nicely composed visuals and animation in a way that is both poetic and quite quirky.
It combines live performance with both pre-made animations and semi-autonomous, rule based animations that appear to update based upon what a camera is viewing. The film’s presentation of deceptively simple, deliciously playful illusions, a high-spirited sense of wonder, and creatively unexpected mixtures of live action and animation is just incredible. I’ve never seen anything quite like this ever before.
This piece includes a number of unusual illustrations from the film, as well as the incredible, beautiful short performance/animation piece, “Dreaming of Lucid Living.”
Please visit my website to view the unique illustrations and to watch this very remarkable performance/animation:

Artist Scott Hove has created a yummy looking art installation in the form of Cakeland, a sculptural art installation that appears to be made solely of cake. Unfortunately, the delicious looking cakes aren’t real, rather, they’ve been created using wood, paint, cardboard and acrylics.

On May 3rd 2008, artists Robin Hewlett and Ben Kinsley invited the Google Inc. Street View team, the Mattress Factory and residents of Pittsburgh’s North Side to collaborate on a series of tableaux along Sampsonia Way. Neighbors, and other participants from around the city, staged scenes ranging from a parade and a marathon, to a garage band practice, a seventeenth century sword fight, a heroic rescue and much more. This first-ever artistic intervention in Google Street View made its debut on the web on November 4, 2008.
Google Street View technicians captured 360-degree photographs of the street with the scenes in action and integrated the images into the Street View mapping platform. Participants around the world can now navigate the artwork, titled Street With A View, on the project's official website (http://www.streetwithaview.com) or by typing "Mattress Factory + Pittsburgh" into Google Maps.

David Ellis arrived at the Mattress Factory with a personal archive of collected papers and images and a Quonset-hut like structure in which to paint and be photographed. Essentially transporting the studio inside the Mattress Factory for his residency period, Ellis painted from morning to night inside the curved structure for 15 days in the museum’s lobby. Working in a tunnel of white light with a still camera pointed down from the ceiling, and producing a high-speed camera shoot over one weekend, the cameras captured the artist painting from a bird’s eye view perspective every few seconds. The only record of the continuous layering of paintings that he produced is this volume of digital images, now edited into an animated motion painting entitled OKAY.
This video documents his process while at the museum.
