It’s always great when charities involve artists into a cooperation that’s both creative and helpful to some. This time it’s about people arranging canned foods together to form an image or a sculpture. Hence the name “canstruction”. And since I love the idea I decided to share some “Canstructions” with you.
Well some people decided to find out and the results landed them some awards. See for yourself below:
Dictaphone Parcel from Lauri Warsta on Vimeo.
Animated short film, Royal College of Art, London, 2009
Dictaphone Parcel is an animation based on a sound recorded with a dictaphone travelling secretly inside a parcel. As the hidden recorder travels through the global mail system, from London to Helsinki, it captures the unexpected. We hear a mixture of abstract sounds, various types of transport and even discussions between the mail workers. The animation visualizes this journey by creating an imaginary documentary.Dictaphone Parcel was awarded the Passion Pictures Prize in London, in February 2010.

It’s on ! :)
Ok here’s the deal : Let’s put him in your hometown. Or in your vacation photos. We want this little creative guy to be everywhere. Send the links to imgshack or other hosting sites with your pictures and I will download and post it in a gallery. The image itself is a PNG file with transparency, so you only have to paste it over a photo and position. :)
You can download the image at http://creationmachine.org/img/cmach.png
Just choose file / save as. Don’t try to copy it from the browser and paste because it will loose the transparency that way.
Here’s him in a couple of places :
Amsterdam
London underground
Prague
Belfast
Dublin
Berlin – Sony Center
Roman Colosseum
Come on, let’s play. Send me links to more in the comments :)
