Thread: Surfing the 4th dimension

Whitaker, a nature enthusiast, used his footage of the beautiful Oregon coastline as source material, before mutating it into the surreal and haunting scenes above. Whitaker's script?written in Processing, an open source programming language geared for the visual arts?takes a vertical slice of a video frame, stacks it horizontally, and then takes another vertical slice from the next frame. The result is footage that is stretched across both time and space. "I like to think that this is what you might see if you looked at our world from a spot in the fourth dimension," Whitaker explains.
"As the video advances, the spot we are seeing moves through space." he notes. "Normally as a video advances we move through time, so we've sort of swapped the two." I'm not sure how many times I'll be able to watch his video before completely freaking out, but it sure is pretty. [Surfing the 4th Dimension via Boing Boing]

Old but couldn't help myself

I don't get it. It just looks like a winamp visualisation.

Take some acid. Then throw us another reply.

Well that's not really fair, caus I could go and stare at pretty much anything on Acid, right? :p

Yeah, pretty much.

If anything I'd have thought tripping off your nut while watching this would just make it seem normal.
