It feels like there's been a particular surge lately of quality digital art hyperlinks, which make the cut over on my twitter/delicious feeds but I don't quite have time to blog about. To save them from the abyss of social network ephemerality, here's a digest of the highlights.
- The Mandelbulb, breathtaking renderings of 3D fractal forms - frightening in their organicness. Eerily reminiscent of the Romanesco cauliflower.
- Jonathan Zawada is an Australian designer and illustrator, incorporating influences both psychedelic and mathematical. He also makes the masterly move of explicitly acknowledging these influences in his "cliffnotes" sidebar. Win!
- Osmos is a really, really sexy-looking ambient game based on particle interactions. Soundtracked by Loscil, Gas, Biosphere and more.
- When naming the mascot for their much-vaunted Go language, Google obviously weren't aware of 1980s UK kids TV. Compare: Gordon the Gopher vs Gordon the Gopher. Oops.
- The parallax-glitch interface to Daniel Leyva's portfolio needs to be experienced. Great concept, and executed with no use of Flash whatsoever.
- Continuing the psychedelia note, Fred Tomaselli creates explosions of colour and multiplicity which threaten to do strange things to your consciousness. Really want to see these paintaings in the flesh.
