Illustrated people autumn winter 2012 

More proof the internet is inspiring more fashion, with this promo for Illustrated People combining lo-fi polygon computer art and GIF models with contemporary hip-hop:

Illustrated people autumn winter 2012 from PABLO & JOSH on Vimeo.

The promo was put together by Pablo Jones-soler, Joshgreet, and Bradley Bell - this is what Pablo has to say about it:

The idea for the video is based on the quote from Jello Biafra  “For every prohibition you create you also create an underground. “

It tells the story of these paradoxical super commercialised, luxury, underground sects rising up against an oppressive overlord. it looks at the way big brands try to portray themselves as underground and at the language of commercial spaces and point of sale stands.

I’ve been practicing using a Teletext editor, hoping to get something submitted for the International Teletext Art Festival and, believe it or not, it is much much harder than it looks …

Anyway, above is topherchris and lulinternet

International Teletext Art Festival 2012 

To be held in March, exhibits and submissions will be broadcasted on Finland’s national broadcast service.

To anyone unfamiliar to Teletext, it was an information service that was supplied through televisions (mainly Europe) throughout the 80s (more at Wikipedia).

Anyone is eligible to submit work, but the deadline is the 25th of January. To make your own, and you have a PC, you can find instructions plus software via here.

I will warn you - despite the lo-fi level of the graphics, it’s a bit more trickier than expected. Here is an example I put together a year ago:

More information about the event can be found on the official page here 

Artist Max Capacity has created works using the Telextext format as a canvas - examples can be found on his Tumblr here (he has submitted work for the event!)

PS - the above examples have been taken from a teletext event from 2006 by the same organizers - you can see the rest of the entries here.
