MUTO
AN AMBIGUOUS ANIMATION
PAINTED ON PUBLIC WALLS

As the unfortunate lapses between my posts show, it sometimes takes something really amusing or interesting for me to add something here. This is the first time I couldn't wait to post something.
A coworker turned me on to this video, which is truly one of the coolest things I've ever seen on the Internet. It's called " MUTO " and is a time lapsed, wall-painted animation by an artist who simply calls himself, " BLU ". Make sure to click his name to check his site and other works of art.
This incredible animation was done in "Buenos Aires and Baden", according to the credits.
I normally do not post video clips or refer to other people's work or blogs, but this is just outstanding. Be prepared to sit back for a while, as the video is about 7 and a half minutes long.
But keep in mind that it probably took him weeks or maybe months to paint, repaint and re-repaint all the thousands of separate frames for the animation.
It's that kind of incredible patience and endurance, coupled with his ingenious, often bizarre creations that make this such an astounding and entertaining work of art. Oh, and make sure to have your sound turned on as there is music/sound effects that accompany the animations and is also very well done.
Enjoy it and make sure to pass it on to others!
