🇳🇴 Norwegian in NYC. I design and animate for clients, and for myself. I also make music and art, and enjoy luxuriating at quiet cafés and diners. Oh, and I make slow and weird and interesting videos about art & culture on my EDLUNDART YouTube channel
Just for fun on a walk today, I tried to set my iPhone camera to a 3 second timer, and hit the button "3-ish seconds before that bicyclist will probably be here," and then waved my phone vaguely in his direction at hip height as he went by. Fun result! (w/my patented fakestagram filter processing)

My newsprint collage obsession continues. You can watch me piece together this one and four more tiny works of art here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hY9_...

An interesting goth-adjacent collage I made from dark newsprint imagery. [ #art #collage ] Watch me put it together in this super-chill YouTube video: youtu.be/QyiwhInSKt8

A stylish lotto machine I animated through a combination of Blender and After Effects and human patience. [Client for these loops I'm posting: Stack Overflow].

A little short-short film I made once upon a time. Moral of the story: Never trust a paper plane, especially if it's carrying a USB stick. #animation #motiondesign #animator

This was an animated loop I made of a sci-fi-esque machine that detects light and dark areas in an image through code. I'm posting it here as if that makes any kind of sense.

A bit of chess math in this animated loop I made for Stack Overflow — posting in honor of Gukesh Dommaraju, I suppose, although please do not leave this post thinking I know anything about chess! Just admiring the game from afar. #animation #motiondesign

This was an animation loop I did about the fact that Facebook allows you to enter your password incorrectly, as long as it's in the ballpark (!).

Since I'm sort of starting from scratch again here on Bluesky, I'm going to post some of my animation work "classics" — starting with a bunch of loops I created for Stack Overflow. Here's the first one!

What? It's just a fellow human eating some pasta! (as part of the street art sticker project seemingly called The Meal, based on observing these stickers over the years). See more craziness in my NYC stickers video: youtu.be/XmKvqKXJ4-I

Another look at my horrifyingly "melted" beauty pageant contestants generated by a 3D modeling AI tool. I'm a designer and animator who favors actual craft, and this is not that — but I'm also interested in doing things with AI that show its failings and how it might fall short in compelling ways.

Ladies & gentlemen: A gallery of images from the most cursed beauty pageant you'll ever see. I'm interested in artificial intelligence when it fails to be human, when it falls apart, when the cracks are showing. I made a video about it too, where these generated 3D beauties ceaselessly rotate.
