Imagine you are in the future.
Things haven’t changed much, except for a few… augmentations.
The filmmaking team at N1ON recently flew out to Bangkok, returning with footage documenting how the city’s famously vibrant nightlife has adapted to the ‘age of augmentation’, revealing their symbiotic relationship with tech.
Here’s the teaser:

There’s this guy called Matthias Müller, and he makes beautiful abstractions out of virtual dust on his supercomputer. He’s some kind of motion-art superhero, probably sent to us from the exploding Planet 3DS Max by his scientist parents.
In this post I’ve picked out a few examples of his work, because as well as being simply gorgeous viewing material, they’re great examples of what’s possible with a few gigs of RAM, a graphics card and some imagination.
Probably my favourite due to it’s relative simplicity, this tech demo plays with texture in surprising ways:
This next one is so epic! Like an underwater fireworks show of electric choreographed jellyfish, or something…
Watch as millions of particles merge and blend with infinite complexity in this piece of seemingly generative fludity:
This final clip is almost a love story. Watch as two swirling masses collide, explode and dance in time with the music:
An undoubtedly talented guy, Matthias has done commercial work for Honda and Vodafone (as featured last year). His YouTube channel is certainly worth a look, as are his lovely image renders on CGPortfolio.
I can barely get the most out of MSPaint, however…
I see loads of great stuff every single day, but since switching from Tumblr I’ve been quite poor at posting sideblogs.
I’m gonna up the frequency a little, but I promise I’ll only show you the good stuff, like this one, which came via @rochellelara:
So many memories! And think of all the breakthroughs yet to come.
