/// fewer fewer frames frames


I've been inundated with animated gifs from threeframes or fffffffffffftttttttttttt. Some are interesting. Some are less interesting.

I'm looking in the mirror and wondering if New York air is making me dull. My face seems to sulk automatically. It might be sinking under the weight of my hair. On the other hand, I'm thrilled with our new couch.

/// TXT ISLAND by Chris Gavin


"Take a few months, combine a few hundred spare pegboard letters, a digi­tal camera and one of Tandem’s most ingenious directors. The result is Chris Gavin’s miniature epic entitled TXT Island.

Chris’ experimental film pushes pegboard signage to its limits. Painstak­ingly hand-​crafted, Chris used sackfuls of plastic letters to create textual landscapes that would shame any fast-​food outlet. The film follows the endeavours of a squad of letters, as they delve deep into the jungle of a mys­terious island. What is their mission? And will they succeed?"

/// animated loops made of wood

Woody from Dan Britt on Vimeo.

Dan Britt's work is curious. . . I feel like something special is going on in his head. A very clean, honest approach to animation.

/// 'government alpha' robot / detroit / 1999


"Turn-of-the-century footage of “Robo Alpha” (Japanese noise artist Government Alpha in robot disguise) rocking Detroit. Best enjoyed at maximum volume."
