Made up of hundreds of cut-out color ads presented in fragmented, rapid succession, this animated short takes a critical look at consumerism in a material world. Seductive advertising is seen as the main motivating force in shaping the desires, the needs and, to a large degree, the lives of modern men and women.

Since the seventies, the elegant and memorable photographs of Paris-based artist Sarah Moon (*1941, France) are an inherent part of the international fashion world. Scarcely anybody will be able to elude the particular magic of her works. There is a borderland between fiction and truth which seems to be a permanent feature of Sarah Moons works. Poetic as they may be, they always long to reveal a particular form of reality: the fugitiveness of the moment, the boundary between growth and decay, the magic of a single second. (via)

“Very often I say to myself: I would like to make a photo where nothing happens. But in order to eliminate, there has to be something to begin with. For nothing to happen, something has to happen first.” (read an interview with the artist)

Hear from Sarah Moon personally, what goes through her mind, while taking a photograph - in this 10min video

Ok, are you ready to return in 1860?

here is the first sound ever recorded in our civilisation, made by Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville, in 1860, before Edison’s wax cylinder experiments. The vibrations of a woman singing “au clair de la lune”was recorded on a piece of paper by the french man and was translated in sound by an American team in 2008.

You can find this sound at the “expérience Pommery # 6″ exhibiton in Reims (France) by the (incredible) french artist Bertrand Lavier.

Ghost’s voice, drives me crazy!

Laziness exemplifies satire well. Taken on a political or personal level, the point is well made. “My brain has become the brain of a fish. It’s in no state to think of anything…but why disturb the waters.” (via)

The visual crossover between industrialization and science in Fritz Kahn’s artwork demonstrates surprisingly accurately how human nature became culturally encoded by placing the knowledge in an industrial modernity of machine analogues. He produced lots of illustrations that drew a direct functional analogy between human physiology and the operation of contemporary technologies. Therefore, by illustrating the body as a factory, Kahn was able to relate the body’s complex organic interior to the industrialized space so common in society during that period of time (the poster was created in 1926).

Henning Lederer: “From the moment on that I got to know Kahn’s poster “Man as Industrial Palace” in 2006, I had the idea to animate this complex and strange way of explaining the functions of a body. I wanted to continue Fritz Kahn’s act of replacing a biological with a technological structure by transferring this depiction with the help of motion graphics and animation. In addition to the moving images, as a framework, I had the idea to create a cabinet for this work including a mixture of old and new technology. This new version of the “Industrial Palace“ is an interactive installation for the audience to interact with - and by this to explore the different cycles of this human machinery.”

Jerzy Kucia (b.1942) was trained as a painter and graphic artist at the Krakow Academy of Fine Arts, where he is currently a professor and the head of the animation department. His first animated film, Return, was completed in 1972, and demonstrates beautifully Kucia’s interest in the interplay between reality, memory, dream, and emotion.

Julian Antonisz, (November 8, 1941 - January 31, 1987), was a Polish avant-garde filmmaker, artist, animator, scriptwriter, composer, and inventor. Best known as an inventor and promoter of his unique animation technique called non-camera.

Sun A Non-Camera Film 1977 was his first all non-camera movie, although the technique has been used also in Antonisz’s earlier productions. The idea after the tehnique was to paint or scratch the images directly onto the movie tape instead of using a camcorder.

His most awarded work is How a Sausage Dog Works 1971

Shot and hand-colored - frame by frame - at the end of the 19th Century. Still captivating today, but just imagine what it must have been like to watch an image move and transform like this in 1899! A beautiful example of the earliest cinematic ART.

Photoshop CS5 will feature what Adobe and Princeton are now calling PatchMatch.

No sign of any publicly available video implementations yet, although it can only be a matter of time, given the promising work of Michael Rubinstein et al presented at Siggraph 2008.
