The classic video of a guy skiing down the escalators at Angel tube station in London (apparently the longest escalator in Europe), condemned by transport for London.
A group of deaf Chinese woman from the China Disabled People’s Performing Art Troupe perform the Thousand-Hand Bodhisattva Dance.
Stunning!

The dot clock is a nice visualisation of a day, each pixel represents a second, each block has a hundred pixels, a square of ten by ten blocks has almost 3 hours.
I must say I wasn’t that impressed when I first saw it, completely useless for telling the time, what was nice was when I came back from work to see a clear view of how many seconds I had been there for. Now I want a physical one!

This is a gallery and portfolio I set up for a very talented glass artist called Nikki Cass. She uses painting, casting and fusing techniques to create the most amazing coloured glass sculptures and commissions (such as windows, wall-hangings and decorative tiles).
Design comminity CGsociety had a contest for people to make a 3d video trailer for science fiction classic Eon, by Greg Bear. The rules were simple, no professionals. This was the winning entry, superb!
How long till we can expect an actual movie adaptation of the book, it would probably translate pretty well and could naturally be split into a trilogy of movies (which is always popular with movie makers these days).

Thomas Allen creates these wonderful photographs using intricate cut outs from the front covers of trashy novels, and a little bit of focal length magic.

Ever been so bored that you pen a piece of paper till it is absolutely saturated with ink? This artist does that for a living, and has created some amazing Ballpoint Abstractions.

Since the original video has been removed from youtube by copyright babies lawyers, I thought it would be worth putting this alternative version up as well.
Sorry, had to remove the embedded video because the crappy MySpace player automatically plays it as soon as it is opened. Which is a little unfair to those viewers who aren’t interested.
The original video for Pink Floyd’s Welcome To The Machine by Gerald Scarfe.
Classic!
There are four hundred other photos of similar calibre in the Simple Gallery.
Great for a bit of photographic inspiration.

These are some wonderfully dreamy and surreal illustrations by Canadian artist Rob Gonsalves.
With the intrigue of an Escher drawing and the richness of a Chris Van Allsburg painting, renowned Canadian artist Rob Gonsalves depicts that delicious time between sleep and wakefulness, creating a breathtaking, visual exploration of imagination and possibility that will encourage both children and adults to think past the boundaries of everyday life, and see the possibilities beyond.
A book of his artworks, entitled Imagine at Night is available at amazon.

Well, convinced me…my days of copying floppy disks are long gone. Suddenly the 80’s seem so much cooler than the 90’s, wonder when that happened…

This is possibly the only good reasons to explode these sandy artworks…so the explosion can be shown backwards in slow motion recreating itself.
