I saw this over on Bruce Sterling’s Wired blog the other day.  Truly stunning work.  It’s the kind of art, vision and talent that just really resonates with you.  It also reminded me of Scott Pilgrim, which I also love.

OH… and watch it in HD, seriously.

It seems that bacon is being formed and then baked (or fried) into more complex and radical food delivery systems.  The next evolution of bacon science appears to be the Baco.  A bacon based tortilla replacement.  I am both horrified and made hungry by this newest step in evolution in food sciences.

… about the website “Three Frames“. Niki called it an:

extremely extremely distilled version of ytmnd

which is a good description. I walked through the archive in a few minutes, subscribed to the RSS on a whim expecting to throw it away after a few days and yet, I get excited when a new one comes in. Odd. Anyway, I love it and had to share.

I have no idea what it means, nor do I need to (all though I do want to).  I was literally speechless after watching this amazing video.  Give it a few seconds and I am sure you will feel the same way.

We reference :: zefrank a lot here.  I have been a fan back since his “Learn to Dance” Flash invite that he created for a party.  Since then he has done a lot with Flash, video, art and humor.  His “Our Art Art Hour” is one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time. This may be the fact that I have a background in theatre and find the word play awesome… but I feel everyone will at least get a chuckle.

National Geographic (or NatGeo if you watch there awesome channel) has a new project on their website called Infinite Photograph.

Dive into this photo-mosaic portrait of the Earth to see it through the eyes of users like you. It’s made up of hundreds of photos of the natural world, each submitted by users to My Shot.

Its a interactive image viewer that uses hundreds of images to make a tile mosaic of another image. From there you can click on a quadrant and zoom in to see the images that made up the larger image. Very much worth checking out.

With the growth of control and interactivity available via video games, the world of Machinima is really taking off.  Games like Little Big Planet are designed with user content generation in mind and its amazing to see how it is being adapted and expanded by the user community.

Machinima, as defined via Wikipedia:

Machinima (pronounced /məˈʃiːnɨmə/ or /məˈʃɪnɨmə/) is the use of real-time three-dimensional (3-D) graphics rendering engines to generate computer animation. The term also refers to works that incorporate this animation technique. Machinima-based artists, sometimes called machinimists or machinimators, often use graphics engines from video games, a practice that arose from the animated software introductions of the 1980s demoscene, Disney Interactive Studios‘ 1992 computer game Stunt Island, and 1990s recordings of gameplay in first-person shooter (FPS) video games, such as id Software’s Doom and Quake.

The Seed is animated short by Johnny Kelly and Nexus Productions using Creative Suite 4 tools.  It was funded by Adobe to feature CS4 and the animation is a combination of graphic/illustrated animation and paper craft stop motion.  Its a beautiful production and they have also provided a making of video to show you how they did some of the animation.
