Markov GIFs

"cachemonet is an exploration into the serendipitous collisions that occur between two randomly generated arrays. the arrays contain a mix of custom and found .gifs sourced from tumblr. the output is autonomous, generative, art made possible through curation & code." (WARNING: frequent flashing/optically intense backrounds, plus full volume sound [mutable from top-right corner button])
I am very much for this.

(I was going to throw a Geocities reference into the post, but it just seemed TOO obvious - after all, Tumblr IS the new Geocities, right?)

I wish it said anywhere what the remix in the background was, but I couldn't find it.

Until watching this I'd forgotten that time in the early 90s when I went to a Subgenius Devival.

I think I want this as my desktop background, but can't quite work out how to do it.

I want this as a screensaver. For a classroom full of computers...

I feel like I dropped acid around a collection of trapper keepers.

The description above is a complicated way of saying: "This page is a bunch of weird tiled animated GIFs randomly paired with animated foreground GIFs, forever." It's funny (for a while), but there's nothing really "Markov" about it.

That song and the video that goes with it are pretty great on their own, actually. Go watch.

Yes, Joakim Zieger, I agree, that video is impressive - I counted over 60 different dancers plus 15 white-box PCs DESTROYED and cameo appearances by Freakazoid (at 2:24), Steve Ballmer (at 3:03) and I definitely recognized the L.A. Coliseum at 3:30, but who was that funk band playing? Still, the video is THE FULL PACKAGE.

That cartoon clip of the bull jumping out of the monitor, and the later one of a guy in a Speedo with a lightsaber, I think are from an old Compuserve commercial.

If you like this then you're going to have fun getting lost in thewrong.org, an online biennale made up of countless netart pavilions. Special mention must go to Anthony Antonellis' pavilion, YoungInternetBasedArtists

I think the polygonal shiba inu may be my spirit animal. Also, the name of my next band.

I appreciate the background song was a remix/reimagining of The Dip.
Also, this is so much fun.

This is the best work Negativland has done to date.
