Aaron Koblin portrays Johnny Cash
Author: Lukas Kubina
Digital artist Aaron Koblin has a fantastic talent for creating innovative, beautiful, fascinating works that fuse the worlds of data and technology with art. His recent project is creating a crowdsourced music video for Johnny Cash's song, "Ain't No Grave." Anyone can contribute as the project basically asks participants to redraw every single frame of archival footage of Johnny Cash. Consequently, Koblin's project is building up a personalized, living portrait of the man. As more and more people contribute, frames are constantly being redrawn - meaning that the video always changes. No two viewings are ever the same - "a visual testament to how the Man in Black lives on." Contribute to the legacy or simply enjoy the always unique video here.
