Here’s some net.art history for today’s GIF of the Day post.
Looking at Vuk Cosic’s “History of Art for Airports” (1997), there’s a GIF or two. The one, above, is for Star Trek. Because someday we’ll beam from one side of the airport with a transporter deck to another transporter deck. Then we’ll disappear—like the non-looping figure above. That’d be an ideal form of transportation, avoiding all those zippy golf-carts.
A description of the “History of Art for Airports,” from Rhizome:
“From Cezanne to Warhol, this “history of art” is redrawn according to the simple iconographic style of airports. But the history doesn’t end with Warhol; a few contemporary net.art celebs are added for good measure.”
And Star Trek, of course.
