My foot step

via tiil.us [ the full animation ] roll over the squares & click on the circles.

via N.Y.Times "By itself, the moon landing 40 years ago would have made 1969 a year of historic proportions. But the flight of apollo 11 occurred against a backdrop of creativity and chaos, violence and hopefulness that seemed to define the decade of the 60's."

Strangely enough I was working yesterday on this animation that I created from a photo of my foot...
I woke up this morning and realize the connection with Neil Armstrong foot step...

DEADLINE post-it stop motion

via youtube.com

from bunliu June 05, 2009

"This is my senior project at Savannah College of Art and Design. Where my idea comes from is that every time when I am busy, I feel that I am not fighting with my works, I am fighting with those post-it notes and deadline. I manipulating the post-it notes to do pixel-like stop motion and there are some interactions between real actor and post-its."

The Falling Times

via fallingtimes

Falling Times is an everlasting and growing real-time news translation machine representing permanently appearing and disappearing information about our times and, simultaneously, the fall of our western decadent civilization.
Falling Times refers to the heavy InfoPollution we live in. The InfoSociety has created a new kind of consumer – the InfoConsumer! The most consumed information is the news today. The news has been turning more and more into an entertainment – the Infotainment. The news producers are the biggest info polluters of our time and thus are the biggest contributors to the infoEcological disaster.

In our visualization we reduce the content only to headlines and key words that appear in the news the most often. These reduced news are translated into a dynamic pictogram language that is considered to be universal and instantly understandable.
