I recently stumbled over this new Kris Moyes-directed Grizzly Bear video, which is pretty visually interesting and basically like a series of animated gifs. Some of the gifs from the video are even downloadable, in case you want to embed the one of the guy’s melting iris as he puts in a contact into your new message board signature. I couldn’t help but notice that it was littered with ... »
Jude opened her eyes. She was floating and suspended in mid-air. Wonder and exhilaration filled her. Everything around her, wherever she looked, was white. Above her she noticed a glowing white light. She looked below her and saw a white hospital room, her hospital bed, two male doctors, and two female nurses.

I started grad school last month, and one of the instructors for my first class is a trained graphic recorder. The World Cafe explains graphic recording (also known as graphic facilitation or sketchnoting) as “capturing people’s ideas and expressions—in words, images and color—as they are being spoken in the moment.” Think of those cool RSA Animate videos, only done in real time ... »
Ah, Friday. The perfect day for not doing work. To help you along in this noble effort, I give you three cool videos that incorporate the arts and the sciences. You may now kill time at your leisure. First up is a video produced by Terri Timely that interprets the everyday experiences of people with synesthesia — that is, the condition that causes a person to see a color when they taste a fl... »
