*********************************************************

You are invited by Swiss / German artist Myriam Thyes to
take part in a collaborative art project for the internet:

FLAG METAMORPHOSES

Continuously growing and animated by as many participating
artists from across the globe as possible, the flags of all nations
in the world will be morphed into each other through flash animation.

Although the iconography of a flag while blowing in the wind may
appear transient, it is long-established and changes far less
frequently than the country it represents. Using digital media
however, we can make the symbols dance.

This is an exploration into the meaning of imagery on flags, aiming to
create interrelated associations through questioning, reassessing,
fluidizing and re-mixing of diverse national iconography.

To find out how to participate with or without knowledge of flash,
please visit: www.thyes.com/flag-metamorphoses
