Okay, this is an incredibly beautiful, surprisingly moving short film — which is actually just a software test.
David Cage, video game auteur and boundarie pusher, is behind this. It’s a prototype of human simulation software running on the Playstation 3.
Take a breath, and try not to be moved by this.
Stunning… I hope you find this abstract dance video as enchanting and hypnotic as I did.

Second funny Star Wars video I’ve seen this week. This one’s smart, managing to relate the Force to Scientology and other knock off self-help religions. Totally cracked me up. Enjoy!
These two videos are wonderfully charming and heart-warming.
Somebody lost a roll of film in New York. Someone else found the roll and developed it, then went online to try and track the people down. This is the video he made:
Two weeks later, the owner of the lost film roll contacted him, and he and his girlfriend went on a road trip through Europe to return the photos. He made another video which is just as sweet and touching, and makes me want to take a European road trip right away:
Um, as you may have noticed, I haven’t really given Subverse much love this year. It is what it is.
But I invite you to take a gander at my new and very exciting (and very different) new site. It’s an Image Stream, that I curate with my friend Donovan. It’s kinda deep.

My god, what a blast from my childhood…
I actually still have that red-and-blue Shogun Warrior in my room in my parents’ house. And for years, I’ve had no idea what he was or where he came from.
I love when little mysteries like these are solved.
His name, apparently, is Great Mazinga! (With rocket launchers.)
Love it.
“Hey, sweetheart. Wanna come up to my room and see my great mazinga?”
And that line about Godzilla: “Imagine his breath is a blast of fire!”
I’m afraid I’ve dated girls I didn’t have to imagine.
Thanks to Plaid Stallions for the hook-up. A great romp through the past.
This is pretty.
