Astronaut: A Flickr-Generated Project
Around the time I was exploring the Flickr API, I was listening obsessively to a song by a musician friend of mine. I got the notion to import his song into Flash, mark specific keyframes in the song, and randomly pull images from Flickr whose tags matched his song lyrics.
I've found that sometimes, the image combinations end up being pretty amazing; other times, they end up being silly and totally subvert the song. It all depends, as each viewing should provides a new, randomized set of photos. But that, I think, is part of the fun. Hope you like it.
