Air Traffic Ant Farm by Josh Rubin
The Aviation Systems Division of the NASA Ames Research Center has published an animation of a day in the life of air traffic over the continental US. We all know there are lots of planes in the air at once, but you don't really understand until you see something like this. What has me absolutly fascinated is how similar these patterns are to the collective consciousness of an ant farm. I'm sure Steven Johnson has something to say about this-- it's right in line with his theories of Emergence.

Painter Amy Crehore
Artist Amy Crehore's work feels like a Gauguin version of "Where The Wild Things Are," with her nudes hanging out in the jungle alongside monkeys, cats, lions and little kids dressed like clowns. Her paintings on ukuleles sing a softer tune than her work on canvas, which seems to be making a comment about the male gaze—the women in the Oregon-based artist's work appear...

Beeple: Subprime
by Laura Neilson Subprime by Mike Winkelmann—aka Beeple—is a music video, 3D animation exercise and spectacular visual commentary on America's socioeconomic situation all in one.
