appearing disappearance is part of the high definition art project Advanced Beauty from 2007. It was curated by Universal Everything (universaleverything.com) and scored by Freefarm (freefarm.co.uk). Sadly it only was released on DVD, but here in its intended HD detail. A full HD version can be found at my homepage.

It's basically a hypercomplex structure made out of intervening layers of motion, that reveal over several viewings. There are even mocap driven traces of humans in the image, but often they are just overseen. A "backwards version" called "disappearing appearance" was produced as well and should help to unveil all the details...

It was "referenced" by Psyop for a Nokia spot (vimeo.com/2549728) without my knowledge. But not only me, also UVA (vimeo.com/2376770) appears in the spot... Any comments on such a shameless behaviour are more than welcome!

    i remember seeing the nokia spot and thinking of your work... looks like they also ripped a few other design studios off including united visual artists and just mashed them together without rhyme or reason... if its any consolation yours is 100x more beautiful...

    Thank you for your kind words! The thing that saddens me the most is, that in the end people will think I have copied Psyop...

    seriously psyop ought to be f*ing embarrassed by that... have they written to you about it?

    theyve copied a bunch of people in their time... someone ought to make a site keeping track of it all

    I am also surprised at Psyop and their apparent laziness - which unfortunately seems rather commonplace in this industry. I don't think anyone will ever think you have ripped off that Nokia advert - adverts fade out of consciousness very quickly. I believe your work is more enduring.
