Night of the Living Dead Remixed - NOTLD:R

Remaking all of the scenes from NOTLD. Animate or re-enact your favorite or least favorite scene. This is all because Romero and pals forgot to copyright the original film. It is completely free to reproduce, screen for profit, etc. Totally proto-Creative Commons style. I love it!

Visit the Night of the Living Dead Reanimated web site to put in work.

Paul Chan’s THE SEVEN LIGHTS at the New Museum

paul chan

If you’re heading to New York before the end of June, do check out Paul Chan’s installation The Seven Lights. It’s by far the winner between the Tomma Abts/Double Album/Paul Chan shows at the New Museum.

The New Museum is an art installation space devoted to showing contemporary artworks only (I think from only within the past ten years). They are a non-collecting museum and moved recently from their tiny Chelsea location to their breathable, architecturally interesting site near Chinatown on Bowery.

Super Cool Animated Gif Flickr Group

I recently joined this ultra nifty animated gif group on Flickr (be sure to click on the “view all sizes” link at the top of each image to see the animation on Flickr). Animated gifs are an art form that is slowly tapering off in popularity, but they provide a really rad effect. I equate it to the Polaroid film of online media. Totally lo-fi but some how simultaneously geeky. And they are super easy to make. The one pictured above creates a stereoscopic illusion by shifting camera angles slightly between a left right and center position all about 6 ” apart. You can make animated gifs in photoshop or with any of a number of other programs.

Here is a good animated gif tutorial for Photoshop. There are plenty of others out there. Simply Google “your program” + “animated gif tutorial” … duh!
