Jim Henson is best known as creator of The Muppets . But he was also a bit of a hippy, and on the road to mainstream success he had quite a reputation for surrealistic / avante garde film. Below are three fine examples of his lesser known experimental work.
The first, Time Piece , was nominated for an Oscar in 1967, and is one craaazy groove, daddio. The other two are short collaborations with legendary electronica pioneer Raymond Scott .
Time Piece (1969) 8 mins
Ripples (1967) 1 min
Limbo - The Organised Mind (live on The Johnny Carson Show 1974) 4 mins
If you don’t have much else on this afternoon, Henson also did an hour long TV film called The Cube , for a 1969 series called Experiments In Televison. It is pretty unique, and can be seen here .
TV was so much trippier back then.

Pint-Size ScientistsFrom: popsci.com Post Date: 2008-10-24 14:29:21 Brian Henson, whose father, Jim, created the Muppets, wasn’t always convinced that he would go into the family business. “I went through a spell in my teenage years where I absolutely was going to be an astrophysicist,” he admits. Now the co-CEO of the Jim Henson Company is channeling that early love of the stars into a new show, Sid the Science Kid , that’s designed to inspire preschoolers to question and reason like real scientists.

Time to score one for the sceptered isle again: somebody in a right-hand-drive vehicle in Germany has been foiling German speed cameras with a Muppet. German cameras are aimed to get clear pictures of the driver in a left-hand-drive car, but not a shot of the passenger -- who is, in this case, the driver.

This was AFTER he found out that I wasn't a boy. He thought I should get a "good family name" since I got off to a rough start.

Midlands New MediaFrom: feeds.feedburner.com Post Date: 2008-01-02 12:30:34 Is there such a thing?
Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Walsall, Coventry and the rest of the West Midlands conurbation have always had a healthy Arts scene, which I have continued to follow remotely via Created In Birmingham , Creative Wolverhampton , et al. But for some time I have been trying to uncover a comparable Midlands New Media scene, and drawn a blank. Either the Midland New Media scene is too small to be seen, or is very well hidden.

I could write just about anything in this space here. Whenever one of my blogchums writes a post about the cool music festival they went to recently and just have to tell you all about, I never bother reading it, so I don’t expect anyone else to get much further than the first paragraph with this. You don’t need to know how cool I am, and you don’t want to know what a great time I had hanging out with all my cool friends. Unless, maybe, if you were one of those cool friend... more  December 2007From: feeds.feedburner.com Post Date: 2007-12-11 13:21:52 I’ll spare you the details, but this is the month I’ve been having so far:
