William Wegman was born in 1943 in Holyoke, Massachusetts. [...] By the early 70s, Wegman’s work was being exhibited in museums and galleries internationally. [...] It was while he was in Long Beach that Wegman got his dog, Man Ray, with whom he began a long and fruitful collaboration. Man Ray, known in the art world and beyond for his endearing deadpan presence, became a central figure in Wegman’s photographs and videotapes. In 1981, Man Ray died. [...] William Wegman lives in New York and Maine where he continues to make videos, to take photographs and to make drawings and paintings.

Bas Jan Ader (born April 19, 1942 in Winschoten, the Netherlands, lost at sea in 1975 between Cape Cod, Massachusetts and Ireland) was a Dutch conceptual artist, performance artist, photographer and filmmaker. He lived in Los Angeles for the last 10 years of his life.

In 1975 Ader embarked on what he called “a very long sailing trip.” The voyage was to be the middle part of a triptych called “In Search of the Miraculous,” a daring attempt to cross the Atlantic in a 12½ foot sailboat. He claimed it would take him 60 days to make the trip, or 90 if he chose not to use the sail. Six months after his departure, his boat was found, half-submerged off the coast of Ireland, but Bas Jan had vanished.

Evelien Lohbeck crea bellissimi film. Qui sotto il mio preferito.

Video + doodles + stop motion = Varelsen. This is love. Corporate commercials can be magic, too. Be sure to check all the videos, especially this amazing series.

Elena Colombo e Cecilia Viganò, due “vecchie” flickr conoscenze, hanno creato questo bel video in stop motion, con le foto e la persona di Elena, ed i disegni di Cevì (dalla quale tra l’altro ho da poco acquistato un Pupetto). Non vedo l’ora di guardarne altri!

My name is Julien Vallée and I am a graphic designer based in Montréal, Canada. I am working on a range of projects including art direction, motion graphic, print design, art installation and video + design for the music industry.
