349 by Kristen Lauth Shaeffer

"Created with hundreds of pencils and hundreds of hands, "349" is a collaborative animated dance film that explores the idea that we're all imperceptibly connected.

To create "349," a dance performance was videotaped and converted into a series of still frames. Over the span of two years, 349 different people each redrew one of these frames after being asked to "draw yourself and someone with whom you have a significant connection." The resulting drawings were scanned, sequenced, and synced to music to create the short animated dance film."

Five Moving Paintings by Anete Melece

"...In the first moment they look like simple paintings with traditional motives - nude, portrait, landscape and an abstract composition. Soon we discover that this is not a fixed still, but a story about routine and a moment of surprise in art."
