Sam Cannon`s Moving Art

Sarah Press — Fri, 26 May 2017 09:00:35 +0000

New York based Motion Artist Sam Cannon specializes in creating surreal and experimental animated GIF images. Her interest in GIF animation started during her time at the Rochester Institute of Technology, where Cannon studied both photography and videography, although neither medium really appealed to her. “I liked the space between still and moving images and trying to explore that space which is why I got into GIFs.” Her personal work focuses on the manipulation of time, space, and the human form, altering its shape and adding elements to create experimental imagery. Living somewhere between still photography and video, her images explore the way we interact with never-ending moments in a 15 second clip. It takes a serious amount of work to create these unique GIFs, while a basic looping GIF can be produced more simply. Cannon’s heavily edited images require lots of attention to craft. This dreamlike and mesmerizing state can only be reached by editing and retouching every single frame of animation.

The Exquisite Realities Of Studio ZEITGUISED

Anna Dorothea Ker — Thu, 16 Jun 2016 14:29:53 +0000

Berlin based studio ZEITGUISED is a collective of artists, technologists and designers who consult on and create synthetic art and design. In early 2016, the studio released geist.xyz, a series of ‘synthetic ghosts’ choreographed to result in ‘meandering layers of style changes.’ Speaking of the concept behind the project, ZEITGUISED explains, “What looks at first glance as an eccentric tangle of simulated dance and a color-coordinated Tumblr exploration turns out to be a study of handcrafted algorithmic textiles and procedural surfaces presented in and for what we call exquisite realities.”

Tomorrow evening, ZEITGUISED and renowned textile designer, Nadine Goepfert will be presenting the intriguing fruits of their digital textile design collaboration in Berlin in a presentation titled ‘contre/fait‘, hosted at Atelier am Moritzplatz, Berlin from 18:00 onwards. For more details, and to RSVP, see the event invitation below and click here.

Haunting GIFs Of Human Faces By Adam Pizurny

Jessica Jungbauer — Fri, 13 May 2016 13:00:57 +0000

Digital artist Adam Pizurny creates haunting GIFs of human faces using the 3D rendering software ‘Blender’. From popping like a balloon to opening up a psychedelic world, each of the digitally-rendered faces is then turned into a surreal art piece. Pizurny also collaborates with other digital artists like glitch artist Jordan Bortner and GIF artist George Redhawk, whose work we’ve featured before. Speaking about his creative process, Pizurny says: “I just play with object in 3D, giving it characteristics which it doesn’t have in reality, wondering what happens, until it looks interesting.”

A Deep Dive Into GIF Art

Monika Mróz — Thu, 12 May 2016 13:57:40 +0000

We have already featured 25th Century‘s ‘Formless’ series on iGNANT, but the artist duo never ceases to amaze us. This time, we were struck by another element of their ongoing ‘Visual Philosophies’ project, entitled ‘Deep Discovery’. In creating this series of GIFs, the artists intended to translate their personal philosophy into moving images. Through the exploration of the inner universe, 25th Century preaches being instead of having, and in doing so, nudges us closer to nature.

Lucas Ighile and Ayla El-Moussa, the creators behind the project, say: “Scientists and spiritual minds have told us for decades that the universe is within us. Since the odds of exploring outer space as an astronaut are not favorable, we have decided to explore the universe within us. As well as a place we know less about than the cosmos: the ocean.”

Jessica Jungbauer — Tue, 12 Apr 2016 15:59:07 +0000

Artist duo 25th Century created a series of flowing GIFs capturing the movement of natural streams and breezes in landscape photographs titled ‘Formless’. According to Luke Ighile and Ayla El-Moussa, the people behind 25th Century, the moving images were originally created to quiet the mind in our everyday life. Speaking about the inspiration behind their project, the duo says: “To be formless is to be flexible. Able to crash through like waves yet also be as subtle as an afternoon breeze. To be formless is to be in tune with what and who you are: an infinite potential.”

Moving Light Paintings By Lucea Spinelli

Jessica Jungbauer — Tue, 15 Mar 2016 09:54:53 +0000

Photographer Lucea Spinelli creates moving light paintings using the technique of long exposure for her series ‘Phōtosgraphé‘. According to the photographer, the light in the images functions like “paint on a brush” with film as the canvas. The imaginative GIFs mostly depict scenes in the urban environment with a playful touch and question the viewer’s perception of reality. Speaking of the inspiration behind the series, Spinelli says: “Photography is the process of drawing with light, as its etymology implies: a compound of the greek words φωτός (phōtos) ‘light’ and γραφή (graphé) ‘representation by means of lines’ or ‘drawing’.”

Kirk Wallace and Latham Arnott teamed up to bring some US cities to life through as few strokes as possible. Kirk illustrated very minimal cityscapes while Latham animated the resulting images, keeping the original, minimalistic style. While there are only a few popular cities done so far, there will be more on the horizon to keep your eyes out for.
In the meantime, these designs make great wall art, printed by the designer in his studio available to purchase online.
