Asobi

Pure beauty.

“Asobi” was created by art student Yasutoki Kariya for his senior thesis exhibition. Meaning “play,” the installation is comprised of 11 computer-programmed incandescent light bulbs hung from strings. They playfully re-enact Newton’s Cradle, visualizing the transfer of kinetic energy in the form of light. (via Spoon & Tamago)

Project One

Focuses on the individual in a crowd. It particularly imitates the way in which the human eye observes: Not viewing a crowd as a crowd, but observing little micro-scenes inside of it.

Mesmerizing. I love the philosophy behind this project. Capturing what words can’t describe, photography can’t capture, or video will overlook, but GIF can, or rather a partial animation can captured. It captured an experience in an instance. Head over to Nicolas’ site to explore more of this project.
