Contact Directed by Vivienne Todor

Imagine you are a being not native to this earth. A strange package has come your way having travelled many years from a distant world; it includes an audiovisual piece. What do you make of it? What does it tell you about its home? Perception can be a peculiar thing...

We Directed by Matt Pennetti

A stop motion illustration that depicts the growth of a tree in correlation to our reliance on technology despite nature providing us with what we need. Our consistent dependence on technology only destroys our root in nature. The style of animation is a progressive illustration, animated frame by frame like stop motion.

Virus Directed by M I L. Spain

Look inside yourself is the first step in ecological awareness. The author tries to convey this idea through smooth movements and a pleasant music that carries the receiver to a new world.


pix-elements Directed by jio yumi , Japan

Flickermood Directed by Sebastian Lange, Germany

Flickermood is a fluid motion graphics piece containing lots of sweetly animated
contortions of type synced to a cool recycled retro funktrack by Forss (Sonar Kollectiv).
The main focus of our work lies in interactive and motion graphical experiments
or just free non-commercial design projects.

Green Circles Directed by Dan Ness

Hand painted acrylic animation on board. An abstract mutation of green circles, red rectangles, blue triangles, and yellow amorphous shapes.

White Space Directed by Jym Davis

White Space was created as a variation on the theme of Creation. The work uses the Creation story of Adam as a guide ("formed man from the dust of the ground"). A human head appears as animated 'dust' as it emerges from and descends into a chalky white pool. While the non-narrative short film can viewed as the original "man" being created by God, there are also references to science-fiction as the head takes on a ghostly ethereal quality...like an alien being from another planet. Influences of David Lynch as well as the repetitious music of minimalist composers Philip Glass and Steve Reich can also be seen. In addition to directing the video, Jym Davis also appears in the work

Iso Surfaces Tech Demo Directed by Antonio Casado,Spain

Gymnopedies Directed by Ned Resnikoff

Mist and bubbles drift to music by Erik Satie. Adding a visual dimension to sound can guide the ear, show musical structure and, I hope, amplify the listener's emotional reaction to the music itself. The images are interpreted mathematical representations of actual audio data.

On the Move Directed by Martin J. Pernsteiner, Austria

The project was created in class "Digital Compositing" in the first semester of the master degree program "Digital Media" at the Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences.

100/IMI - A hundred bpm in my imagination Directed by Letitia Lehner , UK

This music video questions the normal music video by exploring the relationship between movement, space and sound.

100/IMI is a documentation of a interactive digital artwork that captures the movement and energy of a dancer triggering sounds through movement and creating a unique audio-visual experience for both the dancer as the audience. The idea of an interactive audio-visual environment is carried on by adding simple motion graphics interacting with the dancers movement and her surrounding.
