GIFABILITY

“The creation and collision of GIFs offers a potentially different implication for the looping horizon: the possibility of communication […] Now, perhaps trapped before a looping horizon, we promote an inverted relationship of understanding: presented with supposedly whole media artifacts, we deconstruct and disperse them, wreck them and from the rubble construct a new lexicon of associations and meanings.”

Interview with Bob Creator – Darren Walsh

We were very lucky yesterday to catch Darren Walsh preparing to live animate Bob in the Arnofini. Here he talks about how Bob came about, how he’s animate and how he thinks the animation will go.

Be sure to see the live animation every day in the ground floor of the Arnofini, it’s free to watch!

A great short interview with Darren Walsh about the process involved in creating Bob_On_Life. He’ll be animating Bob LIVE today! If you’re in Bristol this is a must-see.

“He was a magician by profession.”

“When film is not a document, it is a dream. That is why Tarkovsky is the greatest of them all. He moves with such naturalness in the room of dreams. He doesn’t explain. What should he explain anyhow? He is a spectator, capable of staging his visions in the most unwieldy but, in a way, the most willing of media. All my life I have hammered on the doors of the rooms in which he moves so naturally. Only a few times have I managed to creep inside.”
