Back in August, Shaun Slifer did a whirlwind image research project here at Interference Archive, taking pictures of almost 500 fists from posters, prints, and publications over a 48 hour period. He went back to Pittsburgh and cooked up this video. This is from Shaun:

“I’ve finished up a video that I was collecting images for at the Interference Archive during the end of this last August (right after gathering for our Justseeds planning retreat). Partially an inside joke about predictable tropes in movement posters (born of my years working with political print-makers), and partially a serious meditation on the power of icons and symbols, the basic idea was to scour the archive for all the instances I could find of a raised fist on a poster, print, zine, or book cover, and then string them all together in a rapid-fire looping video…

After digging around in the flatfiles and bookshelves at Interference for two days, then digging around back home at the Justseeds office, I ended up with 360+ images! Yet, I can’t even imagine how many I must have missed in my fervent documentation blitz. This online version is three rotations of the animated sequence, the whole thing is meant to be shown as a constant loop.”
