Atsushi Segawa had been making animated GIFs out of ukiyo-e for a while when he was commissioned by Japanese computer maker NEC to mix computers and computer use into Edo-era Japan.

Video Games If They Were Medieval Religious Paintings

Ryan Nance June 9, 2015

The imaginative work of Dan Hernandez (in his exhibition at New York's Kim Foster Gallery) takes the structure and narrative of Sega-era video games and redoes them visually and symbolically with religious imagery.

Titled Genesis 2014 (for the Sega Genesis console) includes side scrolling fighting games to top-down shooters. I want to see a kickstarter project to turn these into actual videos games soon.

Post-Punk Superheros by Billy Butcher

Ryan Nance March 20, 2015

There is something so pitch-perfect about this work from mashup artist Butcher Billy that elevates it. Certainly its style and wit help quite a bit, but even more than that, there is some thing about identity and fame here. Just great.

Visit Billy’s Behance for more work.

This is a project well worth revisiting. Half the face is from one relative, the other half from another. Just creepy and stunning and awesome from French photographer Ulric Collette.

4 - Dark Side of the The Rainbow

Ryan Nance August 16, 2012

It's a simple premise: playing an album as a new soundtrack. Well, here is The Wizard of Oz with The Dark Side of the Moon.

Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Rainbow "Dark Side of the Rainbow[1] (also known as Dark Side of Oz or The Wizard of Floyd) refers to the pairing of the 1973 Pink Floyd music album The Dark Side of the Moon with the visual portion of the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz.[2] This produces moments where the film and the album appear to correspond with each other. The title of the music video-like experience comes from a combination of the album title and the film's song "Over the Rainbow". Band members and others involved in the making of the album state that any relationship between the two works of art is merely a coincidence." -Wikipedia
