It seems like any sharing platform will fuck up your shit. Just upload your full rez MP4 somewhere and put it in a video tag on a web page and call it KarlTube.

lol it's not a bad idea!
tbh i think it would be a really neat thing to try to instead use the extreme noise footage in a VR setting. i have no idea how hard it would be to do, though, and it might make people barf
― Karl Malone, Friday, 15 December 2017 23:03 (six years ago) link
it would be a video compression issue, not a noise reduction thing. similar to your classic jpeg artifacting
tom scott is pretty cringey but this explanation may help

i actually didn't mind him at all, i thought it was a good video! i know compression is the culprit, but the degradation is especially bad with noise content. i understand that when there are practically zero pixels on the screen that stay the same from frame to frame (as with HQ noize), it makes the compressor go bonkers.
there's a similar situation with color gradients, i think. it's barely detectable to the human eye, but if you create a really fine gradient that barely changes hue from pixel to pixel, and then gradually change it to a different gradient over time, there's often some noticeable artificating that happens regardless of the bitrate quality. but where gradient compression is often a bit noticeable but tolerable, with noise it's just completely unwatchable (imo), like everything that's interesting about the noise just gets obliterated.
thanks again for sharing that, micah!

Flickr always go on about leaving your originals untouched but that might only be for viewing on-site and not embedding. Have you tried uploading it there?

but for real i've barely made anything recently. everything has been going into a sound installation which has to be done about a month from now whether it's ready or not

i killed off weinventyou.net in late January, which was really dumb. i had kind of a freakout and just hit delete. i didn't archive anything. about 2.5 days later i felt intense regret, but the good news is that it really motivated me to rethink my portfolio and how i'm presenting what i'm doing. and also, i had old .psd files of most of my GIFs on an external hard drive, albeit chaotically organized. anyway, i finally am ready to share my new website/home base:
www.zachscott.org
the 1000 or so gifs on weinventyou have been narrowed down to about 25, and i've dedicated space to the installation-based stuff i've really been focused on lately. please check it out if you get a moment!
---also, for those of you around Chicago, i'm showing a sound installation at a pop-up exhibition on May 2 - please drop by to say hello! i'll probably be the guy in the corner, crying

and Electricity series, and the birds, and ...
thank you! and thanks for taking a look! it's very enjoyable to decouple my homepage from Tumblr/social media. it kind of sucks on one level because i had a decent online following on weinventyou (humblebrag, sorry), whereas the new website will be lucky to see 50 visitors a month. but it's also very nice to feel like i "own" it and can customize it as much as i want to. and very nice to not feel the subconscious pressure of making something that people "like" or "reblog". i know it's lame to admit that it was a consideration, but it's difficult not to let that influence what you're making. it feels very liberating to be away from that!

originally it was going to be a video with the action moving from the wall to the real living room to the objects and me, back and forth, but i never got going on it.

xpost thanks fetchboy! it would probably be pretty easy to do a centaurpart2.gif. i feel like i see that centaur in new photos every few weeks or so, it's very photogenic.

If you had a following from Wordpress could you revive it but post links to your site? or is that not allowed?
― startled macropod (MatthewK), Monday, 16 April 2018 05:16 (six years ago) link
Hmmm, what do you mean by “revive”? Can you follow blogs on Wordpress? I guess it has a social layer, too, but I haven’t thought about it yet.
― Karl Malone, Monday, 16 April 2018 05:30 (six years ago) link
Sorry - misunderstood, thought weinventyou was hosted on Wordpress, my mistake.
― startled macropod (MatthewK), Monday, 16 April 2018 06:25 (six years ago) link
oh, no problem! yeah, weinventyou was hosted on tumblr. that was fun for a while but became a nightmare. i followed everyone back and before long i could no longer use it with any practicality because the feed was a chaotic mess generating 100+ new posts to sift through every minute.
― Karl Malone, Monday, 16 April 2018 06:28 (six years ago) link
This is great stuff ZS! <3 Love the new website. It's very "artiste-y" ;) It indeed feels 'in control' to me: more a personal curation of your work than a bloggy, tumbler-y pile on.
Would've so been at yr exhibition if I could.

aw, thanks LBI! i'm going to try to do a decent job of documenting this on<e so i'll post a video in a few weeks. if the whole thing comes together in time, that is. it's coming down to the wire and i have left a ridiculous number of things undecided, and materials as of yet unpurchased. but glad to knock out the 'put up a new website' item because i needed to do it and it was distracting me.
