Is this Art ?
 

It´s not Alphaville related, but here´s a short intro I did long time ago in Flash for a danish mobile disco:

<OBJECT WIDTH=160 HEIGHT=120><PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#000000><EMBED src="http://www.alphawhales.f2s.com/flash/jdsmobil.swf" quality=high menu=false scale=exactfit loop=true WIDTH=500 HEIGHT=200 swLiveConnect=true TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"></EMBED></OBJECT>

Actually, Art is my neighbor's mechanic - but seriously, Willy, this is part of a new generation of art, created in part by the internet - in my opinion, at its core, flash animation is not different from regular animation - its moving pictures!

Anyway, I like it... but I swear I have seen that background somewhere else? ;)

***This life is expensive, but at least it comes with a free trip around the sun!***

Well, the background is black, but if you mean the "stars", they are made in Photoshop - quite simple graphic. What takes time is actually animating them, frame by frame. I´m working on a cool intro (with sound) for www.alphaville.org, but it takes time.

Flash can be very artful. Duran Duran's latest music video "somebody else not me" is made as a flash film.

I agree David, but sometimes Flash is abused, and some people only use it because they can. I belive Flash has it´s use in intros, banners and presentations, but not for a complete site like this.

Of course this is art. Everything is art, it´s only a matter of how you see things.


-I love you dangerously-

All I see is a white screen??? =( But then that is considered art as well...

Trent, don´t you have the flash player installed? If you can see the AtlanticPopes website, you should be able to the intro above.
