The project “Noisy Comics” connects drawings, animation and audio into one multimedia comic.
Each panel features its dedicated, specially composed soundtrack, while animation is adapted to the audio, maintaining the integrity of the piece, but emphasizing the specific frame/scene and offering a new atmosphere and experience to the comic medium.
The project thematizes the current social moment of the ‘new reality’ – personal states and introspection, and the relationship between the individual and his surroundings through comic poetry.
A “noisily animated” comic board will be published weekly on www.bucnistripovi.com and social networks. The boards function separately, but also as part of a larger whole. At the end of the project, 48 comic strips are printed into a graphic novel, with a QR code leading to the soundtracks.
It will be distributed through public libraries, while the illustrations and motifs it contains will be printed on t-shirts, bags, graphics, and posters. The project will be promoted through https://splitnomadgallery.com, www.bucnistripovi.com and at multimedia pop-up events.
We hope that in the future these interdisciplinary events will take place with a live musical performance, an exhibition of original comic strips, video projections of animated comic pages, and a stage performance, in collaboration with galleries, alternative exhibition spaces, and art festivals in Croatia.
