“She trusted me completely,” French digital artist Systaime (Michaël Borras) tells ANIMAL. Every day for days, actress/singer/director Asia Argento shot videos with her cellphone in Rome and sent them to Systaime in Limoges, France. “She has given me no instructions.” The video for “Sexodrome” off Nuun Records’ Total Entropy is a mash-up of Asia’s video selfies, YouTube clips, datamoshed […]

Glitché was already the best, most interesting photo app available before its update update yesterday. Now, it’s something else entirely. I’m just going to tell you up front: to get the full functionality, you’ll have to plunk down $3 (the original version was free, and there’s still a free, less functional, version available). I know […]

ANIMAL’s feature Artist’s Notebook asks artists to show us their original idea sketch next to a finished piece. This week, we talk to Yoshi Sodeoka about his gorgeous, psychedelic video project Sibyl.  Since 2010, I’ve been working on this prog-rock inspired psychedelic video project called “Sibyl” with my friend Daron Murphy.

David Thomas Smith created these striking digital colleges by taking thousands of images from Google Maps, then stitching them together in Photoshop. And besides making the aerial view of your backyard look just like that totally trippy poster you had in college, the pieces have a more critical intent. By refracting the landscapes into repeating, kaleidoscopic […]

Here’s a photograph of the inner-workings of a camera, much like the one used to make this photograph.

None took it to the conceptual extreme […]
