Limited Edition Cinema Redux Poster.

Visual film fingerprints. Brendan Dawes has a great poster available over at the Coudal Partners fantastic Swapmeat.

The limited edition poster is based around the film, 2001: A Space Odyssey. As Brendan explains it, “A specially written piece of software takes a tiny snapshot of the film every second. Each row contains sixty of these frames, representing one minute of film time. This process continues for the whole movie resulting in an image that becomes greater than the sum of its parts, in effect creating a unique visual fingerprint of the film.”

I love it when potentially geeky elements (software programming, cult films, etc) are used to create something undeniably cool.

Go and check out the poster, and more at Swapmeat.

BE NICE TO NERDS, CHANCES ARE YOU’LL END UP WORKING FOR ONE.
(Bill Gates)

Doing this poster by hand, made me think of the pre-computer era, and particularly, of Bill Gates who was creating machines in his Californian home. At the same time a whole generation was soaking up the Californian sun, psychedelic music, hallucinogenic drugs and seeing the world in vivid colours. He went on to become the wealthiest man on earth – the nerd, the one who invented the tool that all the trippers are now using.

Love the nerds!
