Tate launches the Muybridgizer App
Tate recently launched the Muybridgizer App on the App Store. The app allows iPhone photographers to take pictures inspired by the iconic works of early photographer Eadweard Muybridge. iPhone can users to freeze-frame the moving world around them just as Muybridge did with subjects ranging from running horses to leapfrogging boys. Born in Kingston upon Thames in April 1830, Muybridge studied photography before building his career in America. Perhaps best known for his extensive photographic portrayal of animal and human subjects in motion, he was also a highly successful landscape and survey photographer, documentary artist, war correspondent and inventor. Muybridge’s revolutionary techniques produced timeless images that have profoundly influenced generations of photographers, filmmakers and artists, including Francis Bacon, Marcel Duchamp, Jasper Johns, Cy Twombly, and Douglas Gordon. The Muybridgizer App is available for free from the App Store on iPhone or at http://www.itunes.com/appstore/.
