It will trace a thick line between some ideas I had about Last Cereal, and what it's going to be in the near future.

I will take pictures for you, and me. Some of them will be projected as the orchestra plays.

Trace a PI on a piece of paper for me, friends :)

The Darker the Art.........

Do any of you watch alot of horror films?I do not mean stupid American guy with a big knife horror films I mean art horror,horror on its most surreal and psychological level.Such as the first Carnival of Souls,Dario Argentos Suspiria,Nekromantic,the old German horror films that were like paintings that moved(i.e Nosferatu,Metropolis,Hexxen)?Not that I am a morbid person but the darkness of Last Cereal is what attracted me to it the first time I read it and I feel death and the supernatural can be a subject to give that form of transcendence I think that is most important in anything from a mosaic to a kids colouring book.
More on Digital Art

You know I used to despise the very concept of digital art,to me it sounded to be something umm mechanical and sterile and corporate...an artistic medium I felt that would really kill art.But I just can not accept new things and I have been reading all this info here and I have reallized that digital art can become something great.Of course I can not talk much about digital art because I thought myself to artistic to even speak the word until now.Then again once upon a time people thought Murnau and all his "German Expressionist"colleagues were defiling art by using a movie camera and vampiric shadows scaling walls but how wrong those critics were.

I must thank TOBOT

Ever and ever again. Friend Tobot, stay assured that I won't post huge pictures, nor I'll encourage people to post hard-disk-filling leviatans.
Also, no trouble-bringing images.
After all this is Last Cereal, not something edgy like...uhm...www.escaped.it? ;)

And thank also for Untitled.gif, of course, again and again.
Back when I was SO depressed that I hadn't even the strength to express myself with LC, I listened the works of UntitledGif Orchestra while reading the whole strips archive, regaining a smile and some creative inspiration.
I have the feeling that the other untitled.gif creator could be in a situation just like the one I depicted, right now... so best luck to DjC.

Finally, here is detail from the flyer we are spreading all around Rome. Just to test the picture posting system :)

Digital Art

many things are digital, and many things are art.

however, the title digital art is thrown arround very lightly these days. some might even go so far as to say that LC is digital art. but they are wrong. LC is digitally distributited. it seems like nobody is pushing the art end of the digitl art, simply using it as a catchall for commercial concepts like graphic design or dgital animation.

until now

http://www.absurd.org

you may remember me linking this on the untitled board, but i think that there is more to it than i orignally saw. if you poke arround, they have an INCREDIBLY well written essay on how to make browsers scream in pain at the loading of tables. very interesting stuff.

any links you want to share?
images!

OK !!

Now, you can upload images!

But don't fill up my hard drive,
and don't post anything that'll get me in trouble! (Just your own creations!)
A quick strip and an announcement
[6995] by "andrea" (rm1-440.dialup.tiscalinet.it)   on Sat 03 Nov 2001 10:19:12     [ reply ] 
Quick strip, few changements, BIG news:

I've been idle because I'm setting up a show room!

Last Cereal will be showcased live during a concert of Matteo, featuring "Counterrotating in Vacuum" (the sound track he composed for the long dead LC Cartoon project), and his suite "Fibonacci's Piranhas".

Two pianos, four saxophones, two flutes,
and lights, and LC strips and related "art" projected all over the walls. I will take pictures, movies, and everything is gonna be uploaded.
Date: November, 15th.

I wish everyone could be here in Roma :)
Survey of recent board topics
[6982] by "FrereKhan" (202.83.85.112..)   on Fri 02 Nov 2001 08:00:13     [ reply ] 
This is pretty much an indication of too much procrastination on my part. Also a suggestion of A's to 'chart the arc of teh (the - now I feel like I shouldn't fix that!) message board'. From recent to oldish,

o LC: Art or conversation?
o Stress, schooling, etc.
o LC changing focus or direction.
o Merchandise.
o Priorities - money vs love.
o LC open mic. night.
o Msg board quiet & internet noise
o World events, changing perspectives, priorities again, Revelations (of the Bible kind)
o Hedonism, Plenty of recreational drug use
o Some in joke about bots or AI, I think. Explain BASIC echos, guys?
o Images and symbols

So what can we see? Less talk about LC itself than I expected, maybe. Certainly less than you'd see on another comic's MsgB, I'd say. How do we rate in general? I don't frequent any chat rooms or other boards to comment. What do you think?

So Andrea, does the board exist as an entity in its own right?

question of relevance
[6969] by "eurora" (193.83.24.100..)   on Thu 01 Nov 2001 10:28:42     [ reply ] 
am i the only one who sees H as an artifically created figure which is apart from a certain autobiographic overlap different from the creator?

am i the only one who considers lc to be art?
