Brendan Dawes' Cinema Redux Print
Coudal is selling what I think might be one of the coolest prints I’ve seen. Here’s their description of it:
“Brendan Dawes’ very special limited-edition based on our unending obsession with 2001: A Space Odyssey. Brendan explains, ‘A specially written piece of software takes a tiny snapshot of the film every second. Each row contains sixty of these frames, representing one minute of film time. This process continues for the whole movie resulting in an image that becomes greater than the sum of its parts, in effect creating a unique visual fingerprint of the film.’ Kubrick geeks must have this.”
In particular, I liked Dawes’ description:
“Cinema Redux is an attempt to make a physical visual representation of an entire movie in the hope that you can show the world – or the visitors to your home at least, your passion for a certain film. Not just a certain scene. Not just one single frame. But the entire film, represented in a new visual form, a kind of cinematic DNA. It’s made entirely from a digital ‘machine’ process. But it’s made for an analog ‘human’ world.”
