I
got interest in web animation tehniques two years ago, LoOpS!
is my latest study with the possibilities of this tehnique as an
electronic, world wide art media.
Eatch
art work constructs of 10 to 21 differently generated gif animations
which are rationally organiced in 11X11 matrix. Color palet is not
wide and forms are strictly geometric.
Below
you can see an example of HTML-table matrix where 21 gif files are
first placed in encreasing order
and
then decresing order ...and back again ...and back....

This
may sound very dull and idiotic method to create any estethically
relevant result. Nevertheless, I have used time as
a fundamental element to create something that could not be done
with any traditional art media I have used before.
These
works are based on never ending motion, looping. The motion
never ends because it is repeated from the starting point time after
time. What makes these
works interesting and unexpectable for me is the way I have varied
with the timelines of eatch looped animations.
A
table below shows an exaple of ten differently looped animations
first and last frames deley times.

These
small differents between deley times in eatch animation (and between
animations with different order number) causes slightly differing
looping times. When a matrix like this starts to play it cauces
many visual effects. A single animation in the matrix loops simple
again and again but together they make much more than simple looping
effect.
When
creating my works showing here I varied not only first and last
frames deley times but with other frames also. As an other variable
I used also the order of numbered gif files in the table matrix.
Different results can be create for examble by ordering even and
odd numbered files in something else order than showed before. Mixing
the files from different works made very nice result also.
I
am exiting with this way of image cration. I hope you enjoy also
my "painting with numbers".
