A weird and thought-provoking story written by Andy Weir and beautifully animated in vector style by the video creator group Kurzgesagt.
If you like the optimistic nihilism that Kurzgesagt employ in explaining science topics and if this particular video speaks to you, as it did to me, make sure to support the creators!

A beautifully hand-drawn animation depicting flowers growing and withering… Truly a masterpiece by Japanese visual artist Azuma Makoto.
The intricate level of detail is breathtaking, and yet, adequate for this subject matter!

This short, but incredibly intense video offers one of the most immersive spacial experiences that I have seen in a while. In fact, it is more immersive then most “real” 3D movies out there… See for yourself!
By the way, the visual style reminds me of Buddhist art. Credit goes to the creator Bed Ridgway, who is also responsible for a few other similarly amazing videos.

Recently I came across a new way to get news online. The site newsmap.jp offers a collage of the latest news stories weighted by various variables. Each news item comes in a different size, symbolizing its news value and prominence in the public perception.
The topic of stories is indicated by a color coding scheme and their age is indicated by their shading. You can view the news from different countries or combine them to create you own compilation. With this tool it is finally possible to get a comprehensive overview of world events at a glance – at least according to mainstream media…
Even though you’re close to my heart, distance still separates us. I just wanted to let you know: Wish you were here…
This short film combines nice vector esthetics with some truly wicked content. I’m not quite sure what David OReilly wants to tell me with this, but I seem like it. In any case – please support the artist and consider buying the HD-version for only 4 bucks!
