I participated in Art Hack Day over the weekend and decided to make a ton of Star Wars Uncut GIFs. Juxtaposing the new scenes vs the old really highlights the creativity that went into each scene.
Feels good to play around with Processing again.
"This sort of work isn’t stealing anything from creators. It’s enhancing its value by showing just how much it means to people. I really don’t see how it’s possible to watch this viral video crazy-quilt and write it off as a merely derivative or exploitative work. If anything, it shows how art made from other art can become an independent creation with its own personality and worth. Star Wars Uncut is a collectively made work of postmodern folk art, as arresting and significant as Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s soup can silkscreen or a Robert Rauschenberg collage painting built around photos filched from newspapers. The true subject of Star Wars Uncut is how pop culture touchstones live on inside people’s heads, becoming a shared language and an inspiration for personal creativity. Lucas’s work was a call; this is a response."
A very precise explanation of Star Wars Uncut. Well done. Star Wars Uncut has always been incomplete without this. I’m very excited and proud to release the entire film. Watch it over the weekend for guaranteed LOLs and nostalgia.
We’re pretty excited about this one, folks.
I spent way too long adding animated GIF support to our Flash video player.
