I love surrealism. I’ve gone ahead an created a category for it here, and I’ll share favorite examples as I run across them.

I find it quite interesting that animation is a second career for Chris Landreth, who won Oscars for his animated shorts Bingo and Ryan. Here are those and his first short, The End, ordered by release date.

Le Grand Content

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

Free association is fun!

High quality QuickTime version here.

Le Grand Content examines the omnipresent Powerpoint-culture in search for its philosophical potential. Intersections and diagrams are assembled to form a grand ‘association-chain-massacre’. which challenges itself to answer all questions of the universe and some more. Of course, it totally fails this assignment, but in its failure it still manages to produce some magical nuance and shades between the great topics death, cable tv, emotions and hamsters.
