Like skateboards ? Like classic and modern art ? I know I do, so here is a little bit of a fun game I made. I spent the afternoon playing around with some photoshop skateboard templates and overlayed them with some of world's most popular paintings. You can move your mouse over each image to reveal the artist and painting. Why not try see how many you recognize before you move the mouse though. Enjoy dudes !
If you like 3d fractal animations then get ready for a real treat. This is a wonderfully animated 3D fractal movie created by Jérémie Brunet ( aka bib993 ) titled "Like in a dream II". The video was originally created to accompany one of the popular TEDx talks presented by Bryan Alvarez about the Human Atlas project. The project is aiming to create the first ever 3D interactive atlas of the human body that scales from organs to atoms, and depicts the dynamic living processes of the human body.
"The mission of this project is to celebrate the beauty of living systems. Imagine exploring a version of Google Earth where you could see all of Earth's animals roaming the planet, oceans and weather moving in real time, and travel deep into the Earth's center. If you can imagine this for the human body, you can begin to imagine the Human Atlas Project." - Human Atlas Project
Jérémie also has a rather excellent deviant art page with lots of 3d fractal images he has been creating over the last few years.
I don't often post other dj mixes on this blog but this one is so freakin good I just had to share it. This is an amazing mix from Germany's Basicnoise ( Peter Fanai ). At the age of five Peter started with classical piano lessons at the conservatorium. Aged just 13, he got his first synthesizer (Korg M1), resulting in an affection to electronic music. Around 1995 he got a groundbreaking mixtape with tracks from Sähkö, Basic Channel and Peacefrog.
Already in love with electronic music, these minimalistic and dubby tunes changed everything and he started to create his own tracks. After some releases with different styles as Peter Fanai, he came up with Basicnoise for pure minimalistic dub techno.
