We’ve long been delighted and intrigued by the fanciful music machines contrived for the Animusic series. Even decades after the premiere of that video series, the virtual devices that appeared to make music with their gears and pulleys continues to entertain us.

Don’t Call it Finger Painting
This clip took a total of 351 3D printed nails, and a whole lot of hard work! See if you are as amazed as we were. Someone had a hell of a Day of Beauty!
Last Century Right Now
We’re always looking for a delicious and fresh approach to musical favorites. We found this (and more) with Postmodern Jukebox. This track takes a popular Taylor Swift tune and covers it in classic Motown style. It reminds us of a time when fat sound used to mean something! If you liked it, the band is running […]
Reality in Motion

ArtShots: She Just Gotta Dance
The ArtShots competition was conceived to bring audiences a glimpse of the talent that lives within the community’s vibrant art scene. The bonus showed up when the stories told through the ArtShots clips also brought forth the inspiring stories of artists who would not quit.

ArtShots: An Invitation to Listen

We have a feeling that audiences will discover that hope having been met by this clip created by Teresa Widdowson and singer/songwriter duo Bev […]
ArtShots: Zero1

This network for art and technology serves Silicon Valley, and in a way the entire world through its programs. This 90-second ArtShots clip from area educator and broadcast professional Cynthia Green highlights Zero1 and gives a glimpse […]
