Animated Gifs An artist known only as Rrrrrrrroll will leave you spinning with some gif art that works hard to put the art in the gif genre. And yes that was intended as a pun. I guess you could think of the work as ‘animated photography’. If you know or find any more information about the artist please drop a line or two in the comment section. So I sorta owe Matthew DiVito AKA Mr. It’s been a long long time since I walked down the shady animated gif path but you know it’s Friday. Anyone who has frequented this site over the past few years will know there is a special place in my heart for animated gifs which can sometimes be a point of contention since some people think they are pure and pointless trite nonsense. Amalgamation is 1:24 minutes of morphing, rippling, mutating, animated goodness. Uhh. Just something we stumbled upon and though was cool. Gif shop is kind of a cool little app for your iPhone that allows you to make animated gifs via the camera in your phone and then publish them quickly.

From Bell Labs to Best Buy Image: Takeshi Murata, Homestead Grays, 2008, (Still). "PREDRIVE: After Technology" (currently on exhibition at The Mattress Factory, Pittsburgh, PA November 14-April 2, 2009) features new works by six international artists including Takeshi Murata, Paper Rad, Gretchen Skogerson, Antoine Catala, and Brody Condon. The exhibition was conceived with a very specific group of artists in mind -- artists who placed both the dysfunction and arrogance of ever-changing technologies at the center of their work. In a sense, these artists are working in the shadow of a technological dystopia (and euphoria) that had begun as early as the Industrial Revolution -- as expressed in the vacant, vectored glances mapped out in Edouard Manet's The Balcony (1868-69) or the absolute pleasure of stop-motion animation in Georges Melies' An Up-To-Date Conjuror (1899). Melissa Ragona: Last night I was asking about how you each manipulate your work at the level of the pixel. TM: Well, like Monster Movie. TM: Yeah

:: Geoffrey Dorne :: Graphic Designer in Paris :: Designer graphique à Paris :: Graphiste :: Demonic Males: Apes and the Origins of Human Violence By Richard Wrangham, Dale Peterson. Chapter One: Paradise Lost “You will be killed!” bonobo → anthropoid ape, resembling but smaller than the common chimpanzee. But killing was the reason we were in Africa. Zaire → a republic in central Africa; achieved independence from Belgium in 1960. To get to the bonobos, we first had to reach Bukavu, a town on the eastern side of Zaire , just across the border from Rwanda. To fly directly from Uganda to Zaire was impossible because the shaky Zairean government, fighting for control of the country, had closed all international airports, and driving overland was not advised because of discouraging reports about bandits and guerrillas. Tutsis → a member of a Bantu speaking people living in Rwanda and Burundi. But Burundi was not at peace either. Melchior Ndadaye → (1953 〜 1993) Burundian intellectual and politician. The airport of Bujumbura was quiet, just about empty, and watched over by men with guns when we flew in from Kampala on February 12.

The Dead Lily, the caretaker's daughter, was literally run off her feet. Hardly had she brought one gentleman into the little pantry behind the office on the ground floor and helped him off with his overcoat than the wheezy hall-door bell clanged again and she had to scamper along the bare hallway to let in another guest. It was well for her she had not to attend to the ladies also. But Miss Kate and Miss Julia had thought of that and had converted the bathroom upstairs into a ladies' dressing-room. Miss Kate and Miss Julia were there, gossiping and laughing and fussing, walking after each other to the head of the stairs, peering down over the banisters and calling down to Lily to ask her who had come. It was always a great affair, the Misses Morkan's annual dance. Of course they had good reason to be fussy on such a night. —O, Mr Conroy, said Lily to Gabriel when she opened the door for him, Miss Kate and Miss Julia thought you were never coming. —Miss Kate, here's Mrs Conroy. —O no, sir!

The Graphic Side of Life Web Relic, the Animated GIF, Becomes Medium for Art More often than not, animated GIFs are reserved for quick chuckles. Cat portals , face palms , and even the occasional girl punch , are this limited media format's bread and butter. But the current crop of digital artists are turning to this former Net-annoyance to create Web-based art. Sites like Rhizome , 8-Bit Today , and Nasty Nets dig through the deepest recesses of the Internet to find these oddball creations. Many pieces of animated GIF art are abstract designs , while others relish in their dated appearance -- incorporating '80s and '90s goth and cyberpunk influences as well as classic video game elements .

evgeny kiselev / digital artist home | www.delanceyplace.com | eclectic excerpts delivered to your email every day from editor Richard Vague Today's encore selection -- from Quantum: Einstein, Bohr, and the Great Debate about the Nature of Reality by Manjit Kumar. Albert Einstein (1879-1955), the physicist who developed the theory of relativity, was born and spent his earliest years in Germany: " 'The people of Ulm are mathematicians' was the unusual medieval motto of the city on the banks of the Danube in the south-western corner of Germany where Albert Einstein was born. It was an apt birthplace on 14 March 1879 for the man who would become the epitome of scientific genius. The back of his head was so large and distorted, his mother feared her newborn son was deformed. "In October 1885, with the last of the private Jewish schools in Munich closed for more than a decade, the six-year-old Einstein was sent to the nearest school. "As a schoolboy he preferred solitary pursuits and enjoyed nothing more than constructing ever-taller houses of cards.
