HongKong Under Construction I Video (did I get the spelling right?).
About This Project
Took me forever. First, I completed "the project" donkey years ago. Loaded it up as a folder on my Gmail account and saved it on my system. That's when the movie twist started.Corrupted File
My system 'caught' a virus and this infected the files. I thought I had already covered that area (since I had it stored on my Gmail account).Didn't Work
I tried downloading it from the account and it did not turn out as I expected. Apparently, some of the files were already corrupted before loading it up and that's what Gmail returned back to me.What Next?
I gave it a long break (like very long a break) and when I attempted to get the folder from Gmail, I was told that they no longer stored folders (I think that is what I was told). So I could not download it.What Next II?
I started the art work again (and it was real work). It took me about 3 years or more (granted, I did not labor at it day and night everyday). I finally completed the first part, which was to get it frame done (you will have to see it to have an idea of the amount of time I had to put into this labor of loaf-art).The second part was easier and that was turning each frame into a short movie. I broke it down to 3 distinct stages.
What Next III?
It was a call be Guardian Witness that made me complete the task. They were asking for artistic contributions for their "witness program" and I kind of figured they might be interested in it. They weren't (although I think they accepted, then rejected two other loaf-art artworks).Having completed the project, I decided to post it here (I knew I was still going to post them here whether they accepted it or not).
WHAT AM I REALLY RATTLING ABOUT?
Let me post the first part here and we might get to talk about it and the others soon (that will be next year). And by the way; Happy New Year!!!Format
Here's what I'm thinking of doing.- Post a video
- Talk (write) about the video
- Post the frames that make up each video & talk about them since they are individual artworks, each building on the other(? Not too sure about this yet)
- Post the next video and repeat the above
Comments are invited

City Life

I forgot to tell you the title of this piece. I titled it City Life.
The reason is not so far fetched with the street lamps and littered street.
And more than that it reflects a kind of decay that comes with the city. A decay that the authorities are constantly battling against.
It is as if a sentence of death was passed on the city the minute it was born and even though people keep on flooding in it still needs to be permanently kept in the emergency ward where issues like security, health, water, over crowding, litter are constantly battling the city.
Let's not go in too deep, here is an imaginary interview i held over this 'masterpiece'.
How did you come about this form of art?
well like i said before is was through loafing about with the system, i even call it loaf-art.
Are you saying you were just toying around with a computer program and City Life came about?
No i said that is how the art came about but in a way too City Life was not deliberate. I started without knowing how it would end or what i was going to do but as it started taking shape i kind of followed it through and that is how City Life came to be.
The interview will continue later but you are free to comment and critique the art. We will talk more on how you can go about this if you don't have a clue later. In fact let's forget about that....just say what you think.
i will be posting other loaf-art on this blog and all of them were done with Paint (the program you will find under Accessories from the start/programs tab).
