"Pull it down, drag it down Till the hopes and dreams of all the ages Past are shattered on the ground" NMA

The following animation was made in collaboration with Daphne . The brief for her art direction project asked to create an animation for promoting the reading of literature. Daphne drew and all the elements in Illustrator and Photoshop while I did the animation in After Effects.

Does humor belong in art and can it make an equally strong statement? The question is rhetoric. Visit Jonathan Gilhooly's website and read the review by Micheál O'Connell here .

Collaborative work between Daphne and I. These three interactive pieces relate to the theories of archetypes by Carl Jung. Although there are many, we picked the shadow, the mother and the anima. It is a humorous approach and we hope that they're seen in that way. These small pieces will hopefully drive one to find out more about Jung's theories which personally I find very interesting and glaring of truth (even though placed on the side and considered fairly outdated by mainstream psychology). One should also be patient for the files to load, they're a bit large. If one wants to view them at their actual size then go here . or here . or mere . Also be on the lookout for Daphne's 'Carl's Archetypes' which should be posted soon enough on her blog .

It has come to my attention that after the "ahoy space" post yesterday, I had an interesting visit on my blog a while ago. Busy, busy little bees, or erm, spiders? Today's lesson: ITT works! So does StatCounter . Invest in either for pure voyeuristic pleasure. Good times.
