  Apache Attack Helicopter becomes Buddy
Archival prints by Nina Waisman

In this node of the Buddy project, an Apache attack helicopter morphs into Buddy. Twelve intermediate forms are generated between the front-line war machine and Buddy’s modernist logo-silhouette, tracing the connection between 2 markers of an historical zeitgeist. The forms range from anthropomorphized versions of the attack helicopter (copter w/eyes, nose and mouth) on through weird bi-winged vehicles to balloon-infested forms - all rendered as blind-embossed paper reliefs.

Here is the full transition and 4 of the intermediate forms.
