Chronicle Kane s major rival Circulation 495 000 I know you re tired Gentlemen Kane begins suggesting the men have come straight from the offices of the Inquirer after spending all night getting the paper out The scene not only illustrates Kane s tireless ambition but provides a seamless transition from the humble beginnings of the Inquirer to the day six years later when Kane has managed to poach the entire reporting staff captured in a photograph prominently positioned in the window of the Chronicle on that first night The camera slowly dollies in on the reporters as Bernstein tells Kane it took the Chronicle twenty years to gather such a highly respected staff Twenty years says Kane Wells - and suddenly as the sentence Kane speaks spans six years the reporters are no longer still images in a photograph but moving breathing people - six years ago I looked at a picture of the world s greatest newspapermen I felt like a kid in front of a candy store Kane himself then enters

seeing the incredible work of Kevin Burg amp Jamie Beck via their cinemagraphs com site After seeing this mesmerizing new artform we set out to create a tool and a platform to bring it to a wider audience - the Polaroid of cinemagraphs if you will We owe Flixel s existence to the pioneering efforts of Kevin Burg amp Jamie Beck but we ve also found a lot of other professional-level cinemagraph artists out there Flixel Photos Inc 2012 http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=3103 Tue, 25 Dec 2012 14:22:51 +1000 http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=3102 Microsoft Research Cliplets is an interactive app

over a year ago Kevin Burg and Jamie Beck mashed up fine-art photography with animated GIFs and the cinemagraph was born Since then a cottage app-industry has sprung up around this ingenious digital art form offering everyday folks easy tools for creating artsy animated GIFs of their own Now a new iPad-only app called Echograph is targeting professional and prosumer imagemakers who want to get into the cinemagraph-making game If apps like Flixel are trying to be the Instagram of animated GIFs Echograph is more like Photoshop Elements It s pitched as a creative tool not a social network or a digital-hipster fad That s why it s designed for the iPad which can display higher-resolution imagery and offer users enough screen space to subtly finesse the details of their animated compositions We saw an opportunity to harness Echograph as a more professional medium that takes full advantage of DSLR and higher resolution videography Echograph CEO Nick Alt tells Co Design John Pavlus Co

within carefully considered settings Hannah Starkey s photographs reconstruct scenes from everyday life with the concentrated stylisation of film Starkey s images picture women engaged in regular routines such as loitering in the street sitting in cafes or passively shopping Starkey captures these generic in between moments of daily life with a sense of relational detachment Her still images operate as discomforting pauses where the banality of existence is freeze-framed in crisis point creating reflective instances of inner contemplation isolation and conflicting emotion Through the staging of her scenes Starkey s images evoke suggestive narratives through their appropriation of cultural templates issues of class race gender and identity are implied through the physical appearance of her models or places Adopting the devices of filmography Starkey s images are intensified with a pervasive voyeuristic intrusion framing moments of intimacy for unapologetic consumption Starkey often uses composition to heighten this sense of personal and emotional disconnection with arrangements of lone figures separated from a group or segregated with metaphoric physical divides such as tables or mirrors Often titling her work as Untitled followed by a generalised date of creation her photographs parallel the interconnected vagueness of memory recalling suggestions of events and emotions without fixed location or context Her work presents a platform where fiction and reality are blurred illustrating the gap between personal fragility and social construction and merging the experiences of strangers with our own Saatchi Gallery http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=2870 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 13:31:38 +1000 http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=2813 http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=2813

http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=2788 Sometimes it s simply looking at a particular behavior in a new way that evokes a range of emotions Photographer Tabitha Soren has created a series of photographs Running that stir up feelings of panic tension curiosity and concern Tabitha s photographs have power in their simplicity and it s as if one edge of her photograph is the past and one is the future creating an in-between narrative that captures a story in flux As viewers we are caught in a pivotal moment of cinematic tension requiring us to imagine what came before and what comes after each image The photographs become a series of short stories that seem to shout get me the hell out of here Aline Smithson 23 May 2012 Lenscratch http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=2788 Sat, 30 Jun 2012

Gallery as part of The Passions exhibition in 2003 The context of the gallery space and the badging of The Greeting as a picture give the work something different making it more than just a film The significance is in the context of where it is shown and the pretence occurring that this is a picture Indeed when walking downstairs in the National Gallery towards The Passions exhibition it is seeing it hanging on the wall that strikes immediately I am being invited to believe that this animated film is pretending to be a picture The analogy is of the picture becoming an actor pretending to be something else In terms of form The Greeting is a film Therefore what is it that makes it now defined as an exhibition a part of Viola s The Passions in 2003 It is only the fact that it s part of a gallery that makes it an exhibition although in reality it is also actors directed by a video artist into this film slowed down and with no sound which is pretending to be a painting Therefore it is conceptual art in that what the artist is doing is not just making a painting or having the idea for a painting but having the idea of where it should be staged The inscribed text of the space in which it is viewed makes a difference to what the viewer or spectator sees and what is going on Alison Oddey 2007 p 70 Fig 1 Bill Viola 1995 The Greeting Fig 2 Jacopo Carucci da Pontormo The
