We’ve reached the ultimate stage of the animated gif hype, but here comes the gifmelter to the rescue. You can now MELT your animated gif to achieve a double animated experience. Gifmelter is a project by Chris Shier. Brilliant stuff.
Chris informed me that he was only able to make the gifmelter thanks to gif.js (a javascript renderer which lets the gifs animate properly) by Tim Baker.
I would have never thought that I would once post tea towels. Today is that day. Pieke Bergmans designed 6 tea towels for the Textile Museum in Tilburg (The Netherlands). Each one is infected by the dreaded Design Virus. Her goal is to make “personalized mass production” where irregularities are ruled in.
You can buy them for €15 a piece in blue or red at Wannekes.
DEEPHORIZON is the latest project by UBERMORGEN.COM. I guess we’ve all heard about the current environmental disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. UBERMORGEN.COM has quite a different view on the situation: “An oil painting on a 80.000 square miles ocean canvas with 32 million liters of oil – a unique piece of art.”
These Digital Oil Paintings are actually photos of the disaster but they’ve manipulated them. They’ve used a compressor and video editing-software to liquify, transform and destort the photos to achieve this oil painting-like effect. Brilliant!
I don’t know much about zonk out except that he plays around with video mixers, processors and video synthesizer. This set “Video Stills” is just awesome.
