Cecelia Webber in mostra a Verona

Vi ricordate il mio post I fiori nudi di Cecelia Webber? Ieri ho visitato la mostra al Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Verona (prima mostra per Italia ed Europa dell'artista americana), all'interno della rassegna Infinitamente (in collaborazione con l'Università degli studi di Verona), e ho fatto qualche foto prima che la maleducata batteria della mia macchina fotografica desse forfait...

Le gif animate di Jamie Martinez & BYOB Venezia

Ho scoperto perché la geniale idea di ripensare le gif animate oltre agli antichi utilizzi: non mi chiamo Jamie! (ovviamente l'altra è Jamie Beck delle cinemagraphs)
 Jamie Martinez, che vive a Città del Messico, crea queste immagini in bilico tra il retrò e le vecchie cartoline 3D con un po' di magia, e provocazione. L'artista parteciperà al Padiglione Internet della Biennale di Venezia 2011.

BYOB (Bring Your Own Beamer), is an exhibition series created by Rafael Rozendaal.
Its an "easy do do" show with impressive results. The artists are invited to bring their own machines and projecting on any space that they can grab. Its a desperate attempt to open a few windows of fantasy and creativity over a heavily nested "real space". 
BYOB is one of the few original expressions-even if its somewhat of a grimace- that are still possible to be achieved with visual arts. It is the scream of our extended bodies, while trapped between computer keyboards and the unnatural light of the computer projectors.  
BYOB Biennale di Venezia 2011

BYOB (Bring Your Own Beamer) sono esibizioni che durano una notte in cui gli artisti si riuniscono e proiettano le immagini in qualsiasi spazio possibile

Chiunque può organizzare una mostra BYOB, basta trovare uno spazio, invitare molti artisti e chiedere loro di portare il proiettore

Anyone can make a BYOB exhibition. It’s very simple:

- find a space
- invite many artists
- ask them to bring their projectors

Please read the FAQ if you want to organize your own BYOB.

Come creare le Cinemagraphs - I primi tutorial in rete

Le cinemagrafie di Jamie Beck e Kevin Burg hanno (come poteva essere altrimenti?) appassionato il popolo della rete e, con la generosità che contraddistingue lo spirito cooperativo del web, alcuni hanno pubblicato i tutorial per realizzarli e le loro immagini cinemagrafiche:
The Cinemagraph e How I Made a Cinemagraph di Christopher Mathew Burt
Il tutorial è stato tradotto in italiano dal sito Espressioni digitali: 

Cinemagraph: vi spieghiamo come si realizza
Subtle GIF of my wife lying in a field
Cinemagraph/Subtle GIF Tutorial di anthonyScavarelli
How To Make Your Own Cinemagraphs: A New Take on GIFs
di Matt Braga

    Qui le cinemagraphs su Tumbler di chi si è cimentato con questa tecnica a metà tra foto e video (ma senza arrivare alle vette dei due artisti che l'hanno creata) e un blog/archivio dedicato alle immagini in movimento è http://cinema-graphs.tumblr.com/

    Stupori cinemagrafici per animare la moda

    Sono totalmente incantata dalle foto in movimento di From Me To You, potrei stare a guardarle per ore! (e come stupore hanno rubato il primo posto al numero di Vogue con le foto in 3D di Steven Meisel da vedere con gli occhialini)! Le ha chiamate cinemagrafie (Cinemagraph): oltre la foto ma non proprio un video
    Ecco le meraviglie di maggio della fotografa Jamie Beck (in coppia con Kevin Burg, webdesigner e artista digitale) che regalano nuova vita alle gif animate (il formato che aveva reso posibile "movimentare" le pagine web agli albori dell'html (e al tempo, inizio anni 1990, mi avevano fatto perdere il sonno per capire come realizzarle... )
    Sono sicura che sarà amore a prima vista anche per voi!

    Le cinemagraphs sono immagini con piccoli dettagli animati: i capelli mossi dal vento, un ciondolo che dondola, lo sguardo che si sposta....
    Semplici e intriganti allo stesso tempo, le gif animate della Beck racchiudono la magia dei movimenti più dolci e impercettibili, incorniciati dalle parti statiche.

    Estratti dall'intervista alla coppia di creativi Beck/Burg pubblicata nell'articolo "So Long Animated GIFs, Hello Cinemagraph" da TurnStyle
    Turnstyle: Animated .gifs have long been the territory of goofy forum signatures and internet memes, what caused you to take the idea of animated photographs up to the level of art?

    Jamie & Kevin: We wanted to tell more of a story than a single still frame photograph, but didn't want the high maintenance aspect of a video. In preparation for Fashion Week we were trying to figure out a way to show more about what it was like being there, so cinemagraphs were born out of a need to tell a story in a fast digital age.

    The basis for these is always a still photograph which is why they maintain the artistic approach and visual style of Jamie's still photography. What we strive to capture is the moments before and after a photograph is taken.

    TS: Why "cinemagraph"?

    J&K: There's a cinematic quality to them in both the way it captures a moment as well as the coming together of still imagery and moving imagery. "Cinemagraph" represents, in a single word, what the images represent visually. Coco Rocha put it well: "More than a photo, but not quite a video."
    TS: Technically speaking, how are these different from animated .gifs? I'm perceiving a lot more frames of animation for one, but is that just my brain filling in the blanks? It also feels like the animated parts are isolated from the rest of the composition.
    J&K: An animated .gif is usually a sequence of stills pulled from video, animated art, or other imagery that is repurposed into a .gif. What we do is different because it's a traditional still photograph with a moment living within it. For us it's less about the .gif format -- that's just the vessel by which it's best to deliver them on the web, although the limitations of the format have been very influential on the visual style of our images. The .gif format itself is ancient by internet standards but much like photography people are always finding interesting new ways to communicate within the confines of existing formats.
    TS: How long did it take you to develop the technique?
    J&K: Kevin has a background in motion graphics and has been playing with the .gif format since getting a computer in the mid 90s, but this particular technique started taking shape about a year and a half ago. It was the coming together of Jamie's photography and this technique that made it what it is currently.
    TS: How do you choose a subject for a cinemagraph?
    J&K: A cinemagraph always starts with a photograph. As a rule of thumb, we only create a cinemagraph from subject matter that would also make a good still photo. Often times we'll have an idea for a cinemagraph that captures the essence of the subject through an action or moment in a way that a photograph can't. When we decide to take a still photograph, and make it into a cinemagraph, it's when there's more to the story than can be captured in a still frame. We really feel this is an opportunity to look at everything we know in the world and show it in a new way, which is an extraordinary opportunity as artist and visual creators.

    Hey look! It’s Jamie.
The beautiful young lady who brought back GIFs like never before! I have been following her work very closely with the hopes of learning how these beautiful cinemagraphs were made. And guess what? I am beginning to get a hang of it. As a thank you to Jamie for her inspiration. I decided my second cinemagraph should be of her! Hope she likes it! :)
