Magnetosphere iTunes Visualizer




http://software.barbariangroup.com/magnetosphere/


This is one of the most beautiful visualizers I've seen.

"Magnetosphere was born of some experiments in Processing that Barbarian Robert Hodgin (of Flight404 fame) was conducting on his experimental blog. "

"There is magnetism, there is gravity, but on top of all of that, there is awesomeness. Watch as all the dots and ribbons go bouncy bouncy when you play music and trigger this mo-fo of a visualizer. This is the future of visuals. God help you if you smoke the reefer cause you can kiss your productivity goodbye. By the way, don't go crazy with the A and S keys - they add or subtract a hundred particles at a time - tap once or twice and wait for the results."

Augmented Sculpture - Pablo Valbuena

This projection/sculpture installation takes a leap much needed to test the boundaries for digital work. In this movie, watch Pablo make digital and tactile surfaces coexist. I wish I could see this phenomenal illusion in person!

"A never ending web page felt like a good, simple idea. The kind of thing that the world would like to see. So we made it." -POKE London


The promotional site Goodthingsshouldneverend.co.uk is web design at its best. Fun, creative, and nicely illustrated. The site produced by POKE London for ORANGE Unlimited really keeps going and going. Seriously, try to reach the bottom of the scrollbar! Impossible! Goodthingsshouldneverend.co.uk has been talked a lot about online and has won two awards so far: IAB Creative Showcase Winner, December 2007, and FWA site of the month for November 2007. It's even up for FWA Website of the Year 2007.
