Let’s get lost
I’ve only made it through the first portion that was hosted on CNN’s website, but this video exploration of Japan’s Suicide Forest is eerie – and a perfect compliment to the song in my head as the afternoon pushes on. (Thanks, Kate!)

Artist François Vautier decided to create still of every frame in Blade Runner, lay them out in a grid and then film them all with a virtual camera. The end result (set to Vangelis, of course) is nothing but stunning. I especially like that Deckard’s photo manipulation scene dialogue was included to great effect.

I’d normally say “Watch” for something of this sort, but Arcade Fire went entirely HTML5 extravaganza on us with their new project in support The Suburbs. Appropriately, my own experience of this Google Maps-enabled mix of audio, video, text and on the fly graphics wouldn’t work with the childhood address I provided it so I used Kate’s suburban home instead. I think it came out for the better because trees bursting through the ground and birds swooping down from the skies are pretty much par for the course back in the wilds of my home.
Anyway, if you have five minutes to be amazed by the possibilities of HTML5, “The Wilderness Downtown” is more than worth your time.
Trying it’s damnedest to sum up as much of my aesthetic as possible in one video.
Totally trippy in a very subtle way…love the strange seat-dancing.
