My friend Kristen is a finalist in Dell’s “America’s Favorite Small Business” contest and I really want her to win so I made this gif so that you’d vote for her. You can vote once a day while the contest is still going for the next seven days. Please reblog this and DO IT.
Oh… also, I made the gif with a simple Processing app. Download the source here if you want.
Over the weekend, I added tag pages to 3frames. I also went to see Ryoji Ikeda’s amazing Transfinite show at the Park Avenue Armory. The installation lent itself nicely to gifs so I made a bunch while I was there and later tagged them “transfinite” on the website and now you can see them all at http://3fram.es/tag/transfinite (along with more that another 3frames user uploaded)!
I added the ability to tag gifs on the website a while back, but except for the fields below the animation on a page, there hasn’t really been any functional use for them until now. Still, since adding them, I’ve occasionally added tags to some other people’s stuff. Here are some additional well-represented tag pages:

So I’ll try and add more tag functionality going forward, but tag pages are a nice enough way to organize some of the content on the site.
Jonathan Cecil’s Chicago Fly:
“Easy access to aerial imagery and geospatial information is changing how we view and interact with our urban environments. I use these resources to investigate geologic and urban structures, particularly in areas of political interest. This series of work uses satellite and aerial imaging data to explore and to critique the illusionary boundary of macro and micro scales through defamiliarization. Images of urban areas are the input for a computational process that produces a high resolution 3D mesh which is rendered with ray tracing software to produce a final animation.”
I made a demonstration video of 360frames times infinity, my installation from MIXER: Past Futures at Eyebeam.
p.s. I highly recommend clicking the link and watching it on Vimeo in FULL HD.

There are a lot of cool things you’ll be able to see and do at Eyebeam’s MIXER: Past Futures party this Saturday. One of those things is making 360 degree gifs like this one in a photo booth installation I am working on. Hope you can make it!
Love this. Tauba Auerbach and Cameron Mesirow (Glasser) collaborated on a pipe organ that cannot be played alone.
The Auerglass is a two person pump organ created by Tauba Auerbach and Cameron Mesirow. The instrument cannot be played alone. Each player has a keyboard with alternating notes of a four octave scale. Each player must pump to supply the wind to the other player’s notes.
