the scanner photography project

Instead of building a camera that mimicked the functionality of a traditional photographic camera, I had stumbled across a new tool for examining the relationships between time, motion, and image. What I though would be a two week art project has turned into one that has lasted for almost three years, and shows little sign of stopping. My cameras work a lot better now, although most of them still use a lot of duct tape, cardboard, and cheap flatbed scanners.

fuggy fuggy and the brothers mcleod

No, not another Japanese post, just some nicely pitched ninja animation.

I was immediately taken by the combination of ‘analogue’ background with simple computer graphics over the top. No, wait a minute, those computer graphics look quite analogue too…

Here are some skillls sorry, stills from the fuggy fuggy movie

skills

prudence

meditiation

Simple concept (different aspects of a young ninja’s training); simple style; simple colour pallette; all off set by a nice gentle sense of humour.

Anyway, in posting these stills I was wondering how to approach the whole copyright/credits thing, but then I remembered the fuggyfuggy home page:

After watching the movie I can get some desktop art, download to my mobile and then signup for the newsletter…

Maybe the intention with a site like this is to play off the whole viral marketing thing. I mean, that’s how I came across the thing in the first place, right?

I’m not being cynical, I just think it’s a neat little package and done well: something to bear in mind for the future perhaps?

Anyway, I ended up at the creators’ website www.brothersmcleod.co.uk/ and if I wan’t supposed to be doing other stuff right now I’d probably have a good ol’ dig around…

henohenomoheji

I don’t know if “henohenomohe” means anything. It sounds very strange even for us.

Made me think of faces I’ve seen made up of roman letters, but I can’t remember which blog I saw it on…

two or three Japanese artists

Discovered the website of Mai Yamashita + Naoto Kobayashi and, surfing on from there, Shiro Masuyama. Liked them both a lot.
