Centripetal Notion

Called Chocolate Haas, this video was produced by designer Sander Plug in collaboration with Lernert Engelberts. Hypnotic and somehow metaphoric, I’m really digging this for some reason.

Erik Natzke’s generative paintings are made using Flash, sometimes from sampled photos and video and other times from scratch. He controls very specifically the environment in which his creations thrive, leaving the artwork’s specificities to the whim of the code. Generations of pixels live out their lives in quiet service of the master.

“Air_ray, modelled on the manta ray, is a remote-controlled hybrid construction consisting of a helium-filled ballonet and a beating wing drive. Its light design makes it possible for it to “swim” in the sea of air, boosted by helium, in a similar way to the manta ray in water.”

FFFFOUND! is a new-ish image bookmarking site, kind of like del.icio.us for whatever badass photography/art/design/etc. you find around the internet. Not only that though, the website itself is an aggregate cornucopia of beautiful, stimulating, cortex-crunching imagery taken from everyone else’s submissions.

Nevermind that the fork and spoon are balanced perfectly so as to be their own counterbalance. Watch how the flame extinguishes at the fulcrum, and how the ash curls away from the center of gravity.
