Airspace Rebooted

The dangerous ash from Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull volcano brought European air traffic to a halt. For a while, the skies over the north of Europe were almost empty of airplanes. Then, the ash went away and the beautiful mayhem resumed.

The Third & The Seventh

2010-01-06T18:50:00.002-05:00

Some of the most beautiful images set to music I have ever seen. I'm going to use this in my ENG 103 class to talk about multimodal composition, visual rhetoric, and pathos. It's 12 minutes long, but trust me, after watching it you will be relaxed and in awe. Kubrick would be proud (watch it in fullscreen).

Interactive Web Painting Video

2009-06-11T13:45:00.000-04:00

Easily one of the coolest things I have seen on the web in years. The video is interactive and allows your cursor to paint as it scrolls across the screen - all the while paralleling with the music. And, at the end, it will replay what you have drawn. http://soytuaire.labuat.com/

YouTube Mosaic Music Video

The YouTube Mosaic Music Video is a digital piece of art that was made from 1.4 million tiles, and thousands of unique YouTube video stills. It is an original, interactive video of it's kind, and maxs out YouTube's annotation editor.

Animated History of the Internet

Here is a cool animation of how the internet came to be and why we interact the way we do today. What do you think about the way the research is portrayed through audio, visual, alphabetical and visual text? What about the transitions between points?
