zach's old animations and new visual art, updated every 25 to 60 days

would be a good one to have for the 77 poll

ugh, i tried out the wave warp effect in premiere and it ended up looking like garbage

bravo!

lmao

does it tile?

alas, no. it has a slight perspective tilt to it, so the letters have a size mismatch on the edges

treasure trove here:

dope

yeah, that's really neat! i like the music too

I feel like there's a lot of potential in the Chinese Woman Eating Cotton Candy clip making the rounds.

i haven't maaaade a gif in 26 yeaaarrrsss

but for real i've barely made anything recently. everything has been going into a sound installation which has to be done about a month from now whether it's ready or not

Niiiiiiice.

i killed off weinventyou.net in late January, which was really dumb. i had kind of a freakout and just hit delete. i didn't archive anything. about 2.5 days later i felt intense regret, but the good news is that it really motivated me to rethink my portfolio and how i'm presenting what i'm doing. and also, i had old .psd files of most of my GIFs on an external hard drive, albeit chaotically organized. anyway, i finally am ready to share my new website/home base:

www.zachscott.org

the 1000 or so gifs on weinventyou have been narrowed down to about 25, and i've dedicated space to the installation-based stuff i've really been focused on lately. please check it out if you get a moment!

---
also, for those of you around Chicago, i'm showing a sound installation at a pop-up exhibition on May 2 - please drop by to say hello! i'll probably be the guy in the corner, crying

Hooray!

Site rules Zach. Esp the hand GIFs.

and Electricity series, and the birds, and ...

thank you! and thanks for taking a look! it's very enjoyable to decouple my homepage from Tumblr/social media. it kind of sucks on one level because i had a decent online following on weinventyou (humblebrag, sorry), whereas the new website will be lucky to see 50 visitors a month. but it's also very nice to feel like i "own" it and can customize it as much as i want to. and very nice to not feel the subconscious pressure of making something that people "like" or "reblog". i know it's lame to admit that it was a consideration, but it's difficult not to let that influence what you're making. it feels very liberating to be away from that!

"Noise" is pretty trippy!

This is fantastic. I'm also relieved you preserved centaur.gif

yeah that was kind of a trippy day! here's an outtake from that one

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/zachscott.org/Assets/TheLivingRoom/2017-03-10++typing.gif

originally it was going to be a video with the action moving from the wall to the real living room to the objects and me, back and forth, but i never got going on it.

xpost thanks fetchboy! it would probably be pretty easy to do a centaurpart2.gif. i feel like i see that centaur in new photos every few weeks or so, it's very photogenic.

If you had a following from Wordpress could you revive it but post links to your site? or is that not allowed?

Hmmm, what do you mean by “revive”? Can you follow blogs on Wordpress? I guess it has a social layer, too, but I haven’t thought about it yet.

Sorry - misunderstood, thought weinventyou was hosted on Wordpress, my mistake.

oh, no problem! yeah, weinventyou was hosted on tumblr. that was fun for a while but became a nightmare. i followed everyone back and before long i could no longer use it with any practicality because the feed was a chaotic mess generating 100+ new posts to sift through every minute.

This is great stuff ZS! <3 Love the new website. It's very "artiste-y" ;) It indeed feels 'in control' to me: more a personal curation of your work than a bloggy, tumbler-y pile on.

Would've so been at yr exhibition if I could.

aw, thanks LBI! i'm going to try to do a decent job of documenting this on<e so i'll post a video in a few weeks. if the whole thing comes together in time, that is. it's coming down to the wire and i have left a ridiculous number of things undecided, and materials as of yet unpurchased. but glad to knock out the 'put up a new website' item because i needed to do it and it was distracting me.

can you please shop this picture of neil degrasse tyson

nighttime in the usa

I need the labels on https://www.wmata.com/schedules/maps/upload/2017-System-Map.pdf replaced with names from Key & Peele's East/West bowl

fyi, looks like WMATA map font is helvetica neue

(view in new tab for full version)

god

Glorious.

thanks! i replaced my old stop with "eeeeee eeeeeeeee", seemed fitting. there were 32 names in Key and Peele's sketch; turns out there are way more dc metro stops than that. i thought about making up my own fake names to fill in the rest, but for once i managed to stop myself from doing a bad thing.

wait wait wait did you forget the East West Bowl 2013? I see no Goolius Boozler, Fudge or Blyrone Blashington.

I really appreciate that you also changed the line termini at the top btw

was wondering if someone would catch that, heh

i admit that i didn't realize there was more than one year of east/west bowl, so i just grabbed the names from here: https://alvinalexander.com/funny/key-peele-east-west-college-bowl-names-list

i should have went with this instead, which has the names from all three years: https://gist.github.com/JamesChevalier/7900a468a5038f7d0dc8

Faux Doadles, University of Oregon

the super bowl special (the third one) only sort of counts imo

it's up to you to print these out on glossy photo paper and clandestinely distribute these throughout the DC Metro system

mods please deindex this thread karl is openly discussing master plans

An attempt of my own
