Lachlan Turczan hat für Blake Mills‘ Song “Money Is The One True God” 23 Banknoten aus drei Jahrhunderten und verschiedenen Ländern in Hochauflösung gescannt und diese wirklich beeindruckende Animation geschaffen, die uns Geld so zeigt, wie wir es noch nie gesehen haben. Wozu das auch gut sein kann.
I made hi-resolution scans of banknotes from 23 countries ranging from the 1800s to the modern-day. Machine learning was used to further enhance these scans so that I could zoom in on the intricacies of the engravings. Using replacement animation techniques, the guilloché patterns wash over the viewer in a barrage of linework and geometry. Iconic scenes throughout history are also shown: the age of exploration leads to industrialization, wonders of the world are replaced by office buildings and icons of freedom stand in stark contrast to images of slavery. The project culminates with the collective eyes of all world leaders staring back at the audience.
