FLAG
METAMORPHOSES
www.flag-metamorphoses.net
Next deadline: January 30, 2008
A
participatory art project - a continuously growing series of
animations with many authors: The
flags of every nation in the world will transform into each other
through flash animation.
Between
each two flags, scenes appear that show an aspect of the relations
between the two countries. This series of animations is an
exploration into the meaning of imagery on flags, aiming to create
interrelated associations through questioning, reassessing,
fluidizing and re-mixing of diverse national iconography.
FLAG
METAMORPHOSES lays stress on the relations between nations and
identities as changing ones: Only in the permanent re-creation of
values, symbols and ways of life, in mixing with others and differing
from others, cultures and societies stay alive. Each artist who
creates a flag animation expresses such a relation in his/her own
way.
You can contribute, too!
