I just found this beautiful video on Vimeo. It seems like if we step back from things and let get art involved, everything can become beautiful and remarkable. This digital art piece has been shown as the November break bumper on one of the biggest commercial TV channels in Finland.
URBAN ABSTRACT – About the concept:
Urban Abstract is a journey across urban space that unfolds in forty, 5 second parts. The journey, in one, two and three dimensions, is a bit like abstract surfing in which the original destination is only reached after a number of seemingly random yet linked detours occur. Points , lines, planes and other abstract elements create a journey through an Urban Abstract.
The space between things is as important as intended space, perhaps creating a fourth dimension. Meaningful shapes and purposes occur in this dimension’s reality as well. The concept of negative space has meaning here.
Nature plays a part as well. To be able to understand and differentiate what is urban one has understand what is nature.
Hello this is a test of the freeware OmmWriter. Seems nice… I like it. They say its nicer with headphones. True. Especially when you are in a room with other people. ; )
Try it… it’s a nice experience.
My first impression was the nice designed web site of OmmWriter.
Then I started the Video and was surprised and impressed by the design of the app and it’s soundscape. Yes, right! Soundscape! OmmWriter creates a silent, calm room in your mind to write more concentrated – at least to feel more calm and relaxed.
THEME: This is a documentary about the philosophy of karma. I am into eastern philosophy which I find to have a lot of truth in it. I wanted to make a film that conveys the idea that we are all basically the same. And I also wanted to make an informative film about what karma really is in case people are interested.
FORM: I wanted to experiment with fusing the documentary genre with the music video genre. I also wanted to make a film that in form reflected indian society in all its colour, chaos and diversity. Indian traditional ideas and beliefs, indian classical music remixed and edited trough western eyes to hopefully suit a western audience.

Playing sound effects both pleasant and awful, Julian Treasure shows how sound affects us in four significant ways. Listen carefully for a shocking fact about noisy open-plan offices.
