Interesting use of html5 for this interactive video by Chris Milk for Arcade Fire. The whole concept is very interesting; playing with Google street view, Google maps, including interactivity and normal video footage. The only downside is that it seems to only work on Google Chrome which apparently is the only browser to support all html5 features required in this video. If not completely breathtaking because of a lack of stunning graphics, it’s at least very interesting to see where all this html5 is heading towards and to imagine what will be the internet in a few years. Have a go yourself by visiting The Wilderness Downtown.

Marcel the shell with shoes on
This video might not be state of the art in terms of shooting quality but its simplicity makes it work much better than a super prod would do! It gives it an edge of reality and depicts the life of Marcel the Shell with shoes on. The video was created by Dean Fleischer-Camp from Brooklyn, NY.
Peter Zimmermann - Paintings
Unusual and interesting paintings by German artist Peter Zimmermann. Peter was born in Freiburg in 1956 but now lives in Cologne. His artworks presented above are made using airbrush and epoxy resin on canvas which gives his pieces a kind of glowy, shiny and translucent effect which is visually very pleasing…
