Week 11
Multiplicity. Pictures and videos that have been cut and edited together using lots of different photos of the same thing or theme. Some links on delicious were pretty good. The best one was probably of that video game replay that was done a thousand times then merged into one with 1000 cars. It has been redone except with 100 cars or even 4000 cars. Which is way over the top and just looks messy. the 1000 cars video is by far the best put togethor.
There are so many videos on youtube of people that video tape themselves making noises then cutting it all into a song. It’s a pretty good idea but it’s been overdone. the bicycle built for 2,000 was a great idea where they recorded 2,000 people making specific sounds and then they cut it and merged it all into a short song. “bicycle built for 2”
This a photo from a photographer who went into the New York Streets and took hundreds of photos in the same locations and then cut and paste people into the one picture. Such as this picture where his pasted in people who are wearing red. There are lots of different ones such as just kids, people smoking or people walking dogs. It’s pretty interesting the amount of people that are in New York for this many people doing the same thing to walk past.
