Alison Miller_New Media Artists 3&4

 

This week I focused on looking for GIF artist.

I was attracted to Micael Reynaud’s work because it used photographs/videos rather than illustrations.  He refers to his creations as “hypnotic very short films.”  I found this not only true when watching the GIFS, but a relatable statement as well.  A short film still tells a story and had me thinking of how we’ve have been pushing ourselves in our own work to produce a whole story with one or very few images.     

Some more of his work are featured in this article:

INSA work caught my attention because at first it did appear to be a combination of illustrations on top of a photograph, which essentially yes, it is.  However, the animated portion of the GIF is his own real-world murals.  I found this amazing and an interesting concept of taking your artwork one step further.  The video link below GIF shows how the artist created this world’s largest animated GIF (if anyone is interested.)  It was photographed by satellite 400 miles away and covered 57, 515 square meters of ground space.
