The 21st century is wasted on the young

Boy, do I wish these had existed back during my college days, when I was in a more, um, experimental phase of my life.

If Terry Riley and Kutiman had a baby

Bassist and composer Darren Solomon very cleverly married Terry Riley's "In C" with Kutiman's Through-You, and added interactivity, producing a hypnotic, finite-yet-infinite YouTube mash-up site called "In B Flat."

It's delectably simple, yet wonderfully compelling. Kind of like a sonic chocolate-chip cookie.

Gorgeous trompe l'oeil digital projection

Some really creative folks in Germany used a high-definition digital projector to produce amazing trompe l'oeil effects on the side of the Hamburg Kunsthalle. The animation takes its cue from the gridlike pattern on the face of the building, and builds from there.

Kind of reminds me of the in-station subway advertisements for New York's New Museum last year.

Nirvana gets Rick Rolled

Yes, yes, I know, Rick Rolling was soooooo 2008. But this new video mash-up by DJ Morgoth was just too good not to post. The video mix isn't much to look at, but the musical juxtaposition really works.
