FLAG METAMORPHOSESwww.flag-metamorphoses.net Next deadline: May 30, 2008. Continuously growing and animated by as many participating artists from across the globe as possible, the flags of all nations in the world are morphed into each other through flash animation. Using digital media, we can make the symbols dance: Between each two flags, scenes appear that show an aspect of the relations between the two countries. This series of animations is an exploration into the meaning of imagery on flags, aiming to create interrelated associations through questioning, reassessing, fluidizing and re-mixing of diverse national iconography.
