5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious, October 28, 2004

I thought that after a while I would get sick of this DVD - I've now played it far more than I expected to. However, it's not like that at all.
The reverse is true. The dance between visuals and sound just keeps getting better and better each time I play it.
One day it's diving into the exquisite visuals of a fractal journey that holds me captive. The next time it's the river of mood and moments, captured in audio and triggering a massage for the eardrums.
A beautiful, organic, sequence of digital life.

Is this a peek into the teeming world of a drop of water or am I observing images light years across?
Both seem apt.

Enjoy this journey. I still do.

5.0 out of 5 stars amazing, June 28, 2004

simply put, scott draves is one of the best algorithmic/generative artists. while the fractal flame software is available for download, and you can make your own strange attractor renderings, owning this dvd saves you potentially thousands of hours of rendering time, it's from the artist himself, and it's all tied together with music and other work. with all of the hack job "Art dvd"'s out there, this is one of the few truly original and groundbreaking pieces.

5.0 out of 5 stars Infinity in a grain of pixels., August 17, 2004

Admittedly I was in an induced "receptive" state of consciousness while viewing this DVD, but I don't think that condition invalidates my amazement with these motion graphics. Unlike most computer aided animation, these pieces feel like they could be timeless. As an animator myself, my impression of the first minute or so was cynical and critical and then I "got it". Whatever you get out of viewing this depends on how much attention you pay to the details it triggers in your imagination. If you patiently allow these visuals to unfold (because some are really slow), it can be like kinetic meditation.

Well worth the price and certainly worth supporting the hours of work it must have taken to create this art.
