flipping notes on biology...

I have become a little distracted by stop motion films. I made a very simple flip book for a s.m.a.p this however is in a whole other league.

post it notes

Found this stop motion film and couldn't resist putting it on here. How it relates to s.m.a.p is gloriously tenuous. However it does make me reconsider everyday objects...

the sounds of images, the images of sounds

I enjoy the 'call and response' process of this mail art project. The work in this video is fascinating because it exists outside words and the full narrative wasn't available to the participants. Each participant either responded to an image with sounds or vice versa, before passing their response on to the next participant.
