Billed as an interactive film, but so, so much more.  Chris Milk and the Google team have managed to create a truly beautiful, ethereal dreamlike experience, in the browser!  Speaking as someone who has had their fair share of lucid dreams, the tenuous control you have over the experience is strongly reminiscent of the awakened consciousness when you realise you can take control within a dream.  For me it had a similarly euphoric effect!

I haven’t even mentioned the Technology yet, but it’s off the chain.  WebGL compositing video with  3D objects, rendered in the browser, ushering in a new age in interactive storytelling.  Yes, I’m impressed.

Black Rain (by Semiconductor) is sourced from images collected by the twin satellite, solar 

Working with STEREO scientists, Semiconductor collected all the HI image data to date, revealing the journey of the satellites from their initial orientation, to their current tracing of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Solar wind, CME’s, passing planets and comets orbiting the sun can be seen as background stars and the milky way pass by.

I cheered when Trinity in The Matrix used nmap and ssh (and so did you).

His first design/invention took 10 years to produce- the whalesong radio (CHANT DE BALEINES) - a radio that could tune in to the bellows of whales from around the world.

The radio was a collaboration with several colleges from all over the world. Special listening pods had to be sent throughout the world’s oceans to pick up the sounds. Sadly, only one of the listening pods still exists today and if you’re lucky enough to have one of the radios, you’ll only be able to hear humpbacks a couple days out of the year.
