“Choreographed windows, interactive flocking, custom rendered maps, real-time compositing, procedural drawing, 3D canvas rendering… this Chrome Experiment has them all. “The Wilderness Downtown” is an interactive interpretation of Arcade Fire’s song “We Used To Wait” and was built entirely with the latest open web technologies, including HTML5 video, audio, and canvas.” Make sure you run Chrome and have all other apps closed because it’s quite heavy on processor use.

This stop motion film must have taken forever. A bit long but some great sequences…

Wonderful short film containing seemingly random slices of life.

Julien Vallée likes to play with reality. There are a lot of great and creative thoughts in this video – and it’s very well executed. The video was made for the OFFF festival. Each year, they are asking one of the keynote speakers to create a video that introduces the major partners of the event. This year it was Mr. Vallée’s turn to do so. And he aced it.

Beautiful work for IBM using data visualization.

blprnt.com is a Twitter visualization tool that shows about 11,000 “good morning” tweets over a 24 hour period, between August 20th and 21st. And this is just a simple sample of Twitter activity around the globe. All tweets are color-coded: green blocks are early tweets, orange ones are around 9am, and red tweets are later in the morning. Black blocks are ‘out of time’ tweets which said “good morning” (or a non-english equivalent) at a strange time in the day.

Totally creeped out by this music video for Drugs – the latest track from Ratatat. Director Carl Burguess used Getty stock video with really disturbing results.

YouTube yesterday announced their support for 4K movies. Basically, a 4K movie is over four times bigger then a 1080p video and with a 4096 x 2304 resolution the ideal screen for projecting it would measure somewhere around 25 feet. A selection of 4K movies can be seen here.
