NYC MoCCA Exhibit: Infinite Canvas: The Art of Webcomics
Topics: Weird & Humorous, Interesting Tech, Networked World, Comics, Art, Graphic Novels The Museum of Comics and Cartoon Art (MoCCA) in New York City is currently running the "Infinite Canvas" exhibit on Web comics. I am hoping to visit the museum and see the exhibit this fall. It's running until 14 January 2008. Even if you cannot go, the exhibit's page has links to various Web comics' sites. Among them was Supernatural Law, which I found to be a great spoof of the horror genre and of lawyers. Also mentioned on the Web comics exhibit page is User Friendly, one of my favourite comics. (My recent posting on the UK crypto law changes included one of the UF comics on that topic.) One interesting Web comic I recently browsed after reading a reference to it in a recent Wall Street Journal article is Shooting War. (The original Web comic can be read via the "Web Comic" link at the top of the page.) Shooting War is a story about a Web blogger/journalist sent to Iraq; it is set in 2011 0r 2012. The conflicts in Iraq continue and the US is still there. Whether you agree with the political views in the comic or not, the depiction of one possible future is interesting. By the way, if you are interested in comics and how they communicated, there's an informative series of books by Scott McCloud. Understanding Comics, Reinventing Comics, and Making Comics -- all done in comic format -- well explain how comics work and what directions they may take in the future. They are a thinking person's comic book series. J.D. Abolins |
