The joke behind mysterious A113 code

The mysterious combination of numbers and letters 'A113' that has been popping up in Pixar films for over a decade is well known to people in the animation industry. The secret behind the code, which made appearances in various forms in the Toy Story trilogy, Finding Nemo, A Bug’s Life, Up, Brave, as well as animated shows like The Simpsons and American Dad, and even live-action movies like Hunger Games: Catching Fire, is that it's an intentional inside joke.

A113 (pronounced A1-13) was the classroom number used by character animation students at the California Institute of the Arts. Many of its alumni (including Pixar staff) have used the number in their professional works.

Celebrities as Monsters and the "Flashed Face Distortion Effect"

Watch this video while staring at the cross in the center, and you'll see celebrities become monsters right before your eyes.

This is an incredible optical illusion called Flashed Face Distortion Effect that was discovered by Sean Murphy an undergraduate student at the University of Queensland.

Here’s a brief intro from Matthew Thompson, this is part of a research project by Matthew Thompson which investigates how the brain compares and exaggerates the differences between two faces when they're briefly flashed up on screen alongside each other.
"Like many interesting scientific discoveries, this one was an accident. Sean Murphy, an undergraduate student, was working alone in the lab on a set of faces for one of his experiments. He aligned a set of faces at the eyes and started to skim through them. After a few seconds, he noticed that some of the faces began to appear highly deformed and grotesque. He looked at the especially ugly faces individually, but each of them appeared normal or even attractive. We called it the “Flashed Face Distortion Effect” and wanted to share it with the world, so we put it on YouTube".

"The effect seems to depend on processing each face in light of the others. By aligning the faces at the eyes and presenting them quickly, it becomes much easier to compare them, so the differences between the faces are more extreme. If someone has a large jaw, it looks almost ogre-like. If they have an especially large forehead, then it looks particularly bulbous".

Mutoscope Animations by Marc Blackie

I've always had a sort of reverence for Marc Blackie's works. Among photography and video his black and white creepy world reached a new dimension, not just erotic photography or video, but mainly a transmedia art experience around uncommon fetishisms.

His new works, Mutoscope Animations inspired by the Victorian Mutoscope machines, it's a new turn of the screw in the direction of photographic animations. Individual photos (generally 50 - 100) animated using javascript as a reminiscence of the old peepshow/mutoscope machines.
