A few recent videos you may enjoy



Harvard Art Museums in Cambridge maintains a collection of thousands of pigments, which are useful primarily for authenticating or identifying paintings. (Link to YouTube)



A machine for time traveling into old photos. (Link shows how it was made)




A music video with a penny arcade that animates a song called ‘Ma’agalim’ by Jane Bordeaux.

Thanks to Dan and everyone else who recommended these.

  1. Ma’agalim
    by Jane Bordeaux
    (Lyrics translated from Hebrew)

    Nights turn into days
    Days turn into years
    And inside them I am going
    Fast and in circles
    Winds are blowing at me
    Blowing down my neck
    Everything seems too far
    Oversizing me

    It’s not me that’s progressing
    It’s just the time that’s moving on
    It’s just another passing train
    It’s a further tightening rope

    Sunrises sinking fast
    Seasons passing more
    And I am the same
    While the time is cutting short

  2. Uri Lotan; Kudos!!
    I found the music video most charming, brimming with content.

    In the end you see the eyes of that figure - just two black dots. Pictured a few seconds before, I find the white dots on the punch-card. Dotted like stars on a nocturnal sky.
    The stars, arranged, belong to the musical punch-card as well.

  3. For a slightly more David Lynchian, punked up variation on the ‘Ma’agalim’clip, may I heartily recommend one of the best duo's to come out of Canada in the longest time -
