  1. This is wonderful, but it's interest all comes, for me, from its narrative. Seeing all those blobs break off after WWII as independence movements gather force was terrific. I can't see it as abstract. Here's a beautiful abstract animation made to illustrate the life of a cell: http://multimedia.mcb.harvard.edu/anim_innerlife_hi.html

  2. This video reminds me somewhat of Yugo Nakamura's abstract web apps.

    See JAMPACK, for example.

    Given the growing trend towards digital/motion comics, I'm thinking some of these might be good springboards for future explorations.
