I guess I’m going through a deliberately defective images phase. Here, have some Notendo.

Enda O’Donoghue’s Reflection (oil on canvas, 2010). Can we call this ‘compressionism’? (via new-aesthetic)

Phillip Stearns’ Year of the Glitch: glitch art from ‘prepared’ digital cameras.

While there’s a lot of interesting things to discover in pushing cameras way past their standard mode of operation — through circuit-bending or digital cross-processing (that is, ‘databending’) —, I’m still a big fan of the glitch art resulting from true malfunctions.

I remember when animated GIFs meant loathsome banner ads, rotating logos and other artifacts of 1990s bad and distractive webdesign. So it is perhaps the greatest and weirdest of all atavistic reemergences of a dated technology (after all, the GIF is a rather limited image format — with a palette of 256 colors max, with optional 1-bit transparencies — with an unsophisticated run-length compression algorithm, noted only for its ability to contain multiple frames) that the animated GIF became the new art form of the 2010s.

Anyway, sooner or later this looping animation madness had to come to its logical endgame, so here it is (not pictured above, so not to spoil it for you): the Procatinator.

By the way, here’s my humble contribution to the GIF+cats memepool, done with my Lomokino.

I never knew exactly what We Are Unreasonable People was. Probably it was just an outlet for a certain class of stuff I made, and a few friends also did. Probably these are the sort of artifacts people call ‘art’ — except others rarely called these as such.

Anyway: I redesigned the homepage and adapted some of the works for nowadays (eg. some videos still required Real Player or Windows Media — ugh!). If nothing else, it’s a relic from pre-blogging, pre-Flickr, pre-YouTube days, a short era in which people who wanted to show stuff on the Web got dirty with HTML and made up a homepage.

Maybe I — or someone else — will come up with new Unreasonable stuff soon.
