Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is. - Oscar Wilde

Animation, Art, and Other Shiny Things
Incredible ‘light painting’ animation from Oh Yeah Wow, music from All India Radio (The Silent Surf)
No, nothing to do with the operating system we love to hate. This video is more a mellow architectural/design tour. You can tell it’s age as all the displays use CRTs.
Shinji Inamoto takes a frenetically idiosyncratic tune by Frenchman Thiaz Itch and animates it utterly. Hitting the beats and following the changes in an avant-garde style that twists and surprises as much as the music does.
Modeling by Hironari Okada
Music:”La Combe du Tréboulou” by Thiaz Itch (i think we’ll be back to hear more from mr itch soon…)
Whoever animated this video was running some heavy fuel…
Heart’s a Mess by Gotye has a dream-like quality that reminds me a bit of Alan Parsons Project. The video, animated by Brendan Cook, reinforces the unreality well.
This video, Transformers, is a good example of how far computer animation had advanced in the two short years between The Mind’s Eye videos (1990) and this compilation.
Brave New World is the fourth installment of Beyond the Mind’s Eye and, besides showing off some good video processing power with the geometric transformations, gives us a bit of a virtual tour through a computer. This is 1992, remember, and the Pentium CPU wasn’t released until the following year, so it’s likely patterned on a 486 mainboard – and well patterned I might say, the board is quite recognizable to an old hardware geek like me.
