Zoom the quilt

Screenshot from 'Supercoolpic'Art on the internet often is a mere reproduction of offline art (pictures, videos, audio and combinations thereof) — that is different with this (mildly) interactive project by Nikolas Baumgarten, a young german graphics design student.

His homepage is a nightmare but with “Zoomquilt” he created a rather unique piece of art. While the idea itself is not new at all (I even vaguely remember having seen somthing similar before) this one is very nicely done.

According to his homepage the work is to be found at www.zoomquilt.org but there seem to be technical problems with the links on this page.

Have a look at it eBaum’s World instead. Although we hate eBaum’s World. But this is gonna cost their bandwidth, so I guess it’s ok. Just don’t click anything else.

Do your own flash videos

Although being quite a bit on the early adopter side, I’ve never been knee-deep into video formats at all. I can tell a codec from a codex, been playing around with divx and sorts but that’s about it.

Today I was asked if I could “make this video be on that webpage“. WTF?! Simply embedding an .mpg was a no-go right away, I hate it when people do that, it looks crappy and at least on windows platforms it is never completely hassle-free.

Worst Music Video EVER!

Worst Music Video ever

There it is. The worst music video ever. Period. There is nothing more to add, really. Too bad it comes with an awfully catchy tune.

The google video tagline says: “An 80’s Finnish music video called “I Wanna Love You Tender” by Armi & Danny” … I personally have never heard of them and I guess that’s not without any reason.

Anyway, they seem to be serious about it. Watch it. Listen to it. Suffer!

 

Interview

hilarious interviewThat’s got to be one of the funniest videos I’ve ever seen. I have no hard evidence but I believe this is a fake (call it ‘male intuition’ *gg*).

I also haven’t got a clue what this is all about, seems to be dutch (someone has just come back from a hospital or what?). Doesn’t matter, though. Watch it!
