Circular Painting from Fly on the Wall on Vimeo.

I’m super excited about this new kind of “grafimation” (hmm, I just made that up)– animated graf art. This piece in particular demonstrates a new kind of ecological art paradigm because as a hybrid of human technology and the natural process of eco-insired creativity, we discover insights about our human-nature relations that a static painting could not reveal. The video does something only technology can do (stop-frame animation) to reveal creative patterning by an artistic community of practice to highlight the evolving and ephemeral-like dynamic of human-nature relations (OK, I know.. too many words in a sentence but I’m too tired to rewrite it). Plus it’s just really cool. It was done for the Discovery Channel (South Africa), a media entity I’m less than enthralled with because a lot of their programming is in many ways anti-nature (despite the eco-friendly brand they have built–more on that later if time permits).
