another crappy movie clip
May. 9th, 2006 10:09 pmThere's an odd new sculpture down in the waterfront park near Sandycove (approximately here[1]) which looks like a small cluster of boulders. It showed up some time earlier this year, if I recall correctly, and initially I thought it had been vandalised by local graffiti artists using fluorescent paints. Then I noticed one day that the colours disappeared and reappeared, and since then I've been meaning to go and take a video clip of it. However, I feel very self-concious (by which I mean stupid) holding my phone up to do this, so the clip I took this evening isn't very good. It's apparently some sort of James Joyce thing, since there are words from Joyce scrawled across its surface that are only properly visible when the lights come on, and the lights themselves are inside the sculpture. There's a closed-circuit camera nearby, which I presume is intended as a vandalism deterrent. Anyway, here's the clip in that horrible MP4 variant known as 3gp. I know that mplayer at least will play these, and probably quicktime.
