We’re forever fascinated by the the interplay of inspiration in the world and inspiration from within. This week’s links have a mix of both.
What Does the Color Green Look Like? – Powerful short film celebrates the majesty of vision and reflects on the hardship of blindness, all in the same instant — during the Indian festival of colors. More on vision in the developing world at Game Changing Technology. (via Houtlust)
Life in Floods – Surreal rickshaw scene brought on by unusually heavy downpours before monsoon season in Calcutta. And Time captured an equally amazing shot as life goes on in a flooded Mumbai home.
Rethinking Landscapes – Formal and informal urban design play off each other in this fantastic Mexico City motion graphics video.
Home Inversion – House turned inside out in Houston a few months before demolition. Best comment yet: “I think the owner divided by zero.” (via Design Verb)
Ratatouille Synaesthetic – Who knew rats had synaesthesia? Taste goes visual in Pixar’s newest baby and animator Michael Gagné is kind enough to explain (and show!) how he did it. (via Drawn)

loved the color of green video – its funny i had no idea what to expect when i clicked on the film so when it started off with that old man – i was so sure i had seen him in an indian commercial and once the film started rolling i realized it was an indian video. also absolutely loved the art installation in houston. the space time continuum has finally been ruptured!
can’t say i liked the mexico city video. too intent on its own slickness to actually get the message across i think. my 2 cents.
Glad you liked the Indian vision campaign and Houston home inversion!
I know what you mean about the slickness of the Mexican urban development video. I probably didn’t get a huge amount out of it history-wise, either, but I’m such a whore for sexy motion graphics and good music that I didn’t notice. :-)
