Stars and Planets

A couple of my favorite planetary size comparison videos.


Scale from Brad Goodspeed on Vimeo.

Safety First

These were done by W+K NY, and are at least 10 years old. But I always liked the animation. And it's a good message for the kids.

Ken Block: Stunt Driver

Kurt Vonnegut on the Shapes of Stories

This stuff doesn't get old

Michael Imperioli for 1800 Tequila

I don't drink alcohol, and I've still never seen an episode of the Sopranos (I know, I know). But I love these commercials with Michael Imperioli for 1800 Tequila.

Near Perfect Reflection

Perspective and pretense.

Andreas Gursky

The first Gursky I ever saw was 99 Cents in the MoMA. Kind of like Palla, but without the manipulation. Agoraphobes beware.

Lordy Rodriguez

I first learned of Lordy Rodriguez years ago through my art director partner, Corey Ciszek. He creates these mash-up maps that aren't really of anywhere. The link to Lordy at the Austin Museum of Art is here.

Time Lapse of the Milky Way

The Mountain from Terje Sorgjerd on Vimeo.

Great stuff. Wish Sorgjerd would have held on a few of these scenes for 30 seconds longer, though.

Atlas Shrugged

Clip from Atlas Shrugged. No academy awards for acting, but still enjoyed it. Big fan of Dagny.

Conductor: www.mta.me from Alexander Chen on Vimeo.

At www.mta.me, Conductor turns the New York subway system into an interactive string instrument. Using the MTA’s actual subway schedule, the piece begins in realtime by spawning trains which departed in the last minute, then continues accelerating through a 24 hour loop. The visuals are based on Massimo Vignelli’s 1972 diagram.
