Get your animated infographics on! Graphic artist Jonathan Jarvis has produced a great little short animated film explaining in plain english -the causes of the current economic crisis.  There’s been a whole load of cartoons and youtube vids attempting this – but this is definately one of the best. If you are feeling like a [...]

Okay so pretty much every geek on the internet is going mental about the imminent release of the Watchmen. Based on the critically acclaimed comic book of the same name – it’s one of the only comics that got into the prestigious Time Magazine ALL TIME 100 Novels. The film got into a big of [...]

So you guys use it everyday, but how many of you actually know your history of the internet? I remember some of this from Year 11 Computer Studies, but this is told quite well. And it’s not long. In a mere 8 minutes it goes through all the important breakthroughs – from time-sharing to filesharing, [...]

  A testament to having too much time on one’s hands, it makes you wonder why it is we have failed to cure cancer when we have the nous to create masterpieces like this. Enjoy.

I love info graphics, and I’ve always had a soft spot for Korn – since it’s one of the bands I grew up with. This video features both, in a amusing way. The music video was directed by Dave Meyers, who filmed the band’s previous videos (“Did My Time” and “Twisted Transistor”). The video features [...]

Here’s a short interview with Justice, talking about the previously mentioned new film Justice “A Cross The Universe”.

Romain Gavras, the man behind the epic video for Stress, and So-Me, responsible for the visual chicanery of D.A.N.C.E and DVNO, have collaborated with Justice once again. A Cross the Universe follows the band on a 20 day tour across the USA and while I haven’t had a chance to watch the full DVD yet, [...]

This is awesome. We love Guitar Hero, and we love bicycles. Someone combined the two and it resulted in awesomeness. Looking at the effort they went to setting this up though – I’m suspicious that it’s a viral ad for the game launch itself? Still – doesn’t stop it from being awesome.

The song is called Planet Gear, by the very english drum&bass/funk/IDM/jazz/electronic Squarepusher. He’s done his own videoclip here and it looks pretty sweet. Apparantly the concept of the video revolves around images of imaginary astronomical phenomena. I’m not sure if I get that – but the striking colours and the iTunes visualiser style animations looks [...]

Sketch Theatre is a great site that features videos of well respected illustrators, and features video clips of them doing what they do best – from a first person POV. Check out of the video of Gary Baseman doing his thing. Gary Baseman‘s big-eyed characters have always been pretty original and inspiring. He has cited [...]

In this day and age of where we are drowned in piles of commercial-indie-electro-rock, there really aren’t many bands coming out with any kind of challenging or original sound, that’s not already catering to a specific subculture or demographic. Let me present to you, my beloved HORSE The Band. These guys did one of the [...]

A few friends of mine attempted some of this light painting photography just last weekend. Our result was nowhere near as cute and awesome. Still, it was a lot of fun mucking around with LED lights and slow exposures. This one was done by Ryan Cashman from San Diego. In his words: Animated light paintings [...]

It’s easy to take certain things for granted, especially when it comes to the interwebs and computing in general. Once you become accustomed to using a particular tool day in, day out, it seems almost ridiculous that there exist people out there who have no idea that such a thing could conceivably exist. Case in [...]

Part of the Weekend Never Dies is an epic looking film by Saam Farahand. The director followed Soulwax around the globe and took in 120 of their shows, capturing life on the road for the group and their interaction with friends, fans and contemporaries along the way. The film was doing the festival circuit earlier [...]

SouthCentral (PART 3 of 4) from ABOVE on Vimeo. Those of you who’ve been paying attention would remember our last post on Above (catch up here). Well the South Central Tour continues and so do the pieces. Check out his latest vid above, complete with funky bossa nova/samba/Latin sounding tunes. Some pretty cool tidbits, look [...]
