Not that long ago, if you were a designer or decorator, 'ambient' meant ambient lighting; the use of light to evoke a mood or emotion. It still does. But now there's ambient music that evokes a mood, and ambient objects that do likewise and ambient video that merges art and sound to... evoke a mood. We're quite fond of ambient in all its forms, so when ambient DVD producer Colorcalm approached us to do an ambient video blog to help them promote their international design contest, we said, aha! MoCo Ambient. It's our newest category, and like the others, we'll be posting regularly. If you have suggestions for MoCo Ambient, please send them to editor@mocoloco.com. If you've made some ambient video, enter it in the contest here. Coming up; "Merely an existence on the TV screen, in a hotel room anywhere, I don’t want it to attract my attention. I don’t want to watch it. I just like the idea of it being there." (more tomorrow).
