A superb mix of animation styles go into this video description of procrastination.
Themes of development as a self-generating, self-replicating force that exists outside of nature are encoded in these photographs, which view Los Angeles as both a specific site and as a more generalized condition. The inversion of tonalities in these works is a simple act that defamiliarizes the images.

Experimental, algorithmic artworks by David (Sanch) Dessens.
Wow! Stunning, almost biological, concept design by BMW, which uses a layer of stretchy fabric over everything to cut down air resistance.
I wonder if it breathes too?

A Hugely detailed black and white drawing by the eclectic Mulheres Barbadas.
One of the best parts of this is the opening video timelapse of the piece being drawn. It is also available to download in high resolution.

Natural magnetic fields are revealed as chaotic, ever-changing geometries as scientists from NASA’s Space Sciences Laboratory excitedly describe their discoveries.
An interesting animation attempting to convey the movement of the many magnetic fields which surround us.

Brilliant rendition of Nude by Radiohead, performed entirely by old tech. The Sinclair zx loading bit at the beginning had the memories flooding back (it lasts for about 1:10, if you prefer to skip).
It doesn’t sound great, as it’s not supposed to.
Sinclair ZX Spectrum - Guitars (rhythm & lead)
Epson LX-86 Dot Matrix Printer - Drums
HP Scanjet 4c - Bass Guitar
Hard Drive array - Act as a collection of bad speakers - Vocals & FX

Black and shiny, the Soul collection by Thierry Le Goues.
Although this work like the telefunken installation visualizes acoustical material it deprives the viewer of the image. Only light impulses emerge from the intermediate space between the television and the wall, referring to the patterns on the monitors, which are constantly changing with the frequencies of the impulses.
If I had a TV then this is probably what I would do with it, brilliant installation by German artists Carsten Nicolai.
Duchamp meets Tim Burton in the fantastic illustrations of Jinyoung Shin.
Absolutely stunning! The Air Ray by Festo, basically a mechanical helium balloon.
