PQUEUED 1 Björk - "An Echo, A Stain" Live at Royal Opera HouseA very trippy song performed live by Bjork and he insane posse. It's a strange mix of bizarre samples and loops, modified real time by light sensors, a harpist, and a small choir.

A bit reminiscent of 'Gantz Graf' by Autechre. PQUEUED 3 Stop Motion of drying water used as displacement animationA great, short video of a novel stop-motion technique of morphing an image created by the wetting and drying of cement. Beautiful and unique. PQUEUED 5 UniView - Planetarium Astronomy Simulation SystemPlanetarium simulation software seems to have come a long way from the opto/mechanical starballs of my youth.

PQUEUED 9 The Cut Ups - William Burroughs - 1966One of Burroughs and Balch's incredibly bizarre 'cut-up' style of film narration (if you can call it that). I saw this in film school years ago and have often wondered what the hell it means, if anything.... more inside PQUEUED 2 Hope - Tim Clague - AnimationGreat short film by UK animator Tim Clague. Part of the Portage Film Festival. I like the progression of the story quite a bit. The use of color is quite effective.
