A free last-minute printable valentine. It’s formatted so that you can print it as a folded card on regular letter-sized paper. You’ll need to trim it yourself, though. I recommend folding first then just trimming the edges.

Warping Flowers in the Garbage

Conserving artwork from Flash seems to be an extremely complicated process that is difficult for me to understand. Because I am not familiar with the names of files and process of archiving data in art, it made this article even more difficult to understand. Then, the author suggested we could "guess" something about the artwork being conserved. It seems like having to make guesses and suggestions about what is going on during the archival process would make it very complicated for the team to successfully complete the project.

The process that needs to be completed in order to preserve the Flash multimedia is so complicated and intricate that any possibility of deletion would seem incomprehensible. However, it is mentioned that one wrong move could sabotage the entire process. I think that if so much work needs to be done, the archive should be permanently engraved into the system.

The first link for "Garbage Flowers" is broken up into three different bundles of shapes and images. Each segment has it's own geometric shape and different articles of food. It sparked my interest initially because I thought it looked like what Alice would see if she fell down the rabbit hole in 2014 (Even though this photo is from 2010). Although it doesn't seem apparent at first, there are references to fashion and new trends. The second image is more controlled than the first. The images show the same thing but in different color schemes, giving off more or less complex vibes. They are not very geometric except for being contained in a definite rectangular shape and capturing the eye with the half-moon. 

The artist of "Warp" tagged the photo as "animation", "flash" and "loop". There is not a description to this photo, but I assume the artist originally had the photos on top of one another. (The original can be found here: http://www.triangulation.jp/2010/09/warpzone-by-florent-di-bartolo.html) This is a combination of all the separated photos, using one background, one center, one glow etc. The colors gradually blend into one another producing colors that are not exactly expected. 

Upon further research of Tara Sinn's "Garbage Flowers", I came across her website. (http://www.tara-sinn.com/garbageflowers.html) The photos are moving pictures, and they are not meant to be near one another although they are producing similar ideas. Each segment is on it's own, the small geometric shapes that move around in the background seem to follow the cursor around the page. Each image was meant to be looked at singularly and not to be compared to the other images in the piece. All three are giving off their own image while still being apart of a specific collection. 

I would say the two images are not very closely related. "Garbage Flowers" is a moving picture while, even though considered an animation, "Warp" is not moving. It does however give off the impression of animation. Besides the similar color scheme and hints of geometric shapes, both images are in my opinion very different. It is clear that both images were made with the use of flash, though. Of course with "Garbage Flowers" because of the obvious animation, but with "Warp" it is clear he used Flash to overlap the pictures we were able to see individually.
