And another one…
What adds some oil to the fire is that it wasn’t developed in super-secret laboratories by an army of rocket scientists. It’s the artwork form of a mere mortal like you and me. To me it proves the concept — far not everything is already invented and, what’s more important, a single mind matters.
Thanks to Sachiko Kodama for several minutes of aesthetic pleasure!

It’s awesome and amazing!
Not impressed
Why?
I dunno. Useless stuff
Heh, poetry is also useless in this sense. So is painting, music composing and many other things having no obvious practical meaning.
What’s impressive (to me personally) is that people manage to find (peaceful) applications to things, properties, and everything else they discover. Watching the piece, I forget about wars around us and enjoy it how people focus on what is really important – The Life. She loves being an inventor, I adore being a programmer and a music composer. It’s all useless in the universal sense (who needs these web sites after all if we could live without them several millions of years), yet it’s my niche and I’m so happy with digging in that direction.
Not trying to change your heart… Just explaining what I see and feel about this stuff.
Cheers
just fantastic… art of the future
In a word: COOL
