While I'm finishing up soundtracks to the two photocopy-based animations that premiered at Backyard Bandwith last Saturday, here are some animated gifs from some of the nice parts.
Failure of a system is based on the idea that more can be understood about a situation that has failed than succeeded. Stress tests are based on this idea, that limits can be understood when failure occurs. Understanding a thing's failure can give a better understanding of its physical makeup, its tendencies and its restrictions. The failure of a photocopy machine means that it has not done its job of replication well. The tool is turned on itself and the essential material qualities emerge.

failure of a system
How many blogs have you seen that look like this:
7 or 8 posts in a brief period of time, very excited about the idea of having a blog, sharing with the world, big plans.
1 post 4 months later, discussing the time off, busy lifestyle and pledging renewed commitment to the online adventures.
consider this to be one of those.

I'm working to finish a new photocopy-based animation for the next backyardbandwith
If you don't know bybw, it's an outdoor film event that takes place in Jamaica Plain several times a summer. Usually silent films and live music and home made pies! It's well worth a visit. 21 Brookside Avenue in jp.
I'm reworking some of the earlier animations that I've posted here before, but this time it's in color. stills below:
