This iPad light animation has been making the rounds. Cool thing.
I've been meaning to add this 'Black Aelephant' video for a long time. The first time I saw it the only thing I could think of was the alien ship Rorschach from Peter Watts amazing novel 'Blindsight'.
"Not just a torus but a tangle, a city-sized chaos of spun glass, loops and bridges and attenuate spires. The surface texture was pure artifice, of course; ConSensus merely giftwrapped the enigma in refracted background. Still. In some dark, haunting way, it was almost beautiful. A nest of obsidian snakes and smoky crystal spines."
I like this little video a lot because I can imagine the shape shifting thing in this video to be really huge and far away in the blackness of space.
This isn't an animation, but a music video directed by an animator Reza Dolatabadi. I quite like the Massive Attack sound in 'Burn and Rise'.
