Web Developers and designers unite! What’s that? You need a time and a place? Well how about June 8th — June 11th at the Holiday Inn Metrodome in Minneapolis? Apparently there’s a pretty awesome get together being held there called the Flashbelt Conference. For the fifth consecutive year the folks at pilotvibe — a local company specializing in music and sound design for interactive media — has put together this Adobe sponsored convention as a way for Web art wizards to network about their net works. This year’s meeting of the minds boasts an impressive panel of industry leaders and speakers, including Mate Steinforth of Psyop and Robert Hodgin of Flight404. Workshop sessions, recruitment events where designers and developers can shop their talents, and a forum for students to have their portfolios critiqued are among the array of activities. So whether you’re established or aspiring to become a part of the web community, Flashbelt is worth the trip.


We covered Flight404 several months ago and even then we were blown away by the work Robert Hodgin was doing with Processing. Nearly ten months later, we're still in awe of his stunning visuals, but this time around we're crushing on his latest animation creations, Magnetic Ink and Solar. Also created using Process video, Hodgin's breathtakingly transformative works of computer generated art show a chaotic hairball masterwork in black, white and grey and an otherworldly, colorful source of life and light, respectively. The animations are made even more stunning by the musical accompaniment in the form of music from The Flashbulb.

The following videos might be some of the most compelling, moving and yet indescribable pieces of animation and music as visual art I’ve ever seen. Animator and borderline-genius Robert Hodgin worked with Processing, an open source programming language to program images, animation and sound to build these videos. What started for me as just reading an IM and viewing a simple video entitled ‘Supernova‘ turned into a mind-blowing exploration of some absolutely incredible musical visualization. Seriously, words can’t describe these clips. Be sure to check out Magnetosphere and his other work– jaw dropping. A standing ovation, thanks Mike!
