Animation, Art, and Other Shiny Things
In the spirit of She Who Measures, The Wonder Hospital questions whether our actions and desires are based on false perceptions that we, ourselves, create.
In a mysterious hospital, modification of physical beauty is not what you would expect.
A girl’s desire for superficial beauty leads her to chase after the luring ‘After’ images on a path of advertisements throughout the hospital. But in the end she finds something unimaginable and irreversible.

I love me my electronica and this track from Posthuman is some serious and heavy acid techno. The video, by JimJam Graphics, is as slick and crisp as the beats.

Sometimes any attention is good attention. Reminds me a lot of Android 207.
Animated by students at Kingston University, London
This animation is just plain fun. Poltergeist from Dadomani Studios, Dario Imbrogno animator
Saw this a few years back and it’s been a favorite ever since. A badger just wants to sleep, but the world won’t let him.
