SCI-FI-O-RAMA

A new favourite site of mine -

SCI-FI-O-RAMA

- contains a collection of sci-fi related images by various illustrators and artists - ranging back to really old-skool painted book covers depicting fantasy lands, to modern day symbol-like vector art.

SPACE COLLECTIVE

I found this website a few weeks back and have been back to it several times just to look at the gallery; which seems to consist of a collection of weird and wonderful stuff that has been posted around the internet (including links back to the original source, which has provided hours of web-based entertainment). The main site has a quite few interesting articles in the projects section that are in the same vein as some of the images in the gallery, however the part about epiphanies seems to lack the same integrity with some of the crap that people spout...

ABSTRACT IMAGERY

Recently I stumbled across these albums on flickr - both of them consisting of some beautiful abstract imagery.

TAKE THIS DANCE (OR NOT)

When I first saw this site advertised somewhere, I thought wow, that's a good idea. It is an online music video that takes variable information from API websites such as Flickr, Geonames, and even Google. Alas, the video is actually shit. The concept of using information based on real-world figures is a great idea, yet it really hasn't been done justice in this instance. Rather than use the information to enhance the overall video and get across a message, of which I assumed the song was trying to do—though I couldn't bear to actually listen to his whiny 'Disney-Punk' voice—it merely used the variable figures (or photo in the terribly juxtaposed Flickr instance) as layers that served as a novelty.

Rating 1 star out of 5. And only because it gave me an idea.
