Visual AIDS partnered with the House of Frame By Frame Fierce on a new and important project for Day Without Art/World AIDS Day 2001. Shawn Atkins and Luna Luis Ortiz (a member of the Visual AIDS Archive Project) founded the House of Frame By Frame Fierce in response to the troubling trends in HIV infection among youth. Every hour two Americans under the age of 25 are infected. Atkins and Ortiz worked with a diverse group of young people to create four animated public services service announcements targeted at youth most at-risk of infection. Visual AIDS distributed the Frame By Frame Fierce video to cultural institutions and AIDS education organizations around the country to be shown on December 1, 2001.
