After Muybridge
October 4, 2010 2:02 PM Subscribe
After Muybridge "is a loop made from 12 stock photographs that are sequenced to re-create the locomotion of a galloping horse. The animation was modeled after one of Eadweard Muybridge's most famous motion studies called "Daisy". I sifted through over 5,000 digital images to find 12 that matched his original photos." More from artist Cassandra Jones: Animation, Installation, Composition.
Is it bad that I was taken more by this remix of Muybridge's photos (nsfw: 100 year old nudity), which was Youtube suggested related video, than of the main link on this post?

Wow, the lightning stuff (both the drawings and the Bell Orchestre video) are superb.
I sure wish more of the Animations had links to video!

Oooh, a 2-fer post.
Whoa, Cassandra Jones' flamingo iris, Rara Avis, is intense and trippy. The cheerleader snowflakes are pretty cool too.
And then there's the awesomeness of the The Compleat Eadweard [now that's an interesting spelling] Muybridge site with all its great details.

I most heartily recommend Rebecca Solnit's River of Shadows: Eadweard Muybridge and the Technological Wild West as must reading for anyone interested in Muybridge and how his achievements helped form and inform the world as we experience it today. Brilliant writing, impeccable research and keen insight, as one can always expect from Solnit.

re the spelling of his name nicky -- "That Anglo-Saxon moniker, Eadweard, for instance, was only assumed to give himself an aura of ancient mystery in the New World West. Born plain Edward Muggeridge in Kingston upon Thames, son to a coal and grain merchant, he emigrated (still Muggeridge) to San Francisco in 1855 where he opened a bookstore."

I think this previous thing is in the same conceptual ballpark.
