This had me captivated for a good five minutes. I just kept watching how the patterns matched up, trying to parse out the connections in my brain.

Who knew an animation of a Rubik’s Cube and some corresponding concentric circles could be so stimulating?

I have absolutely no idea who created it. Tried to find out to no avail. (Happy to edit with a citation if someone knows.)

A Rubik’s Cube, depicted on the right as a three-dimensional rendering, is modeled on the left as a series of overlapping concentric circles. Each sub-face of the cube is a colored dot, and each rotation of the cube corresponds to a rotation of the dots along one of the circles. The dots always fall at the overlaps of two circles, representing that they can always be moved in two different directions.

Working on a big scrollable ASCII landscape with vertical parallax effect for a commission. Sky part is done, still lot of stuff to do on the ground part

Point of view going down on an ascii landscape, clouds are passing, water and islands appear then mountains and hills following a vertical parallax effect. Animated flying birds sometimes cross the screen.

Imagine suddenly seeing images from your past as if they were happening now. What if that was all you could see? An uncanny animation follows a young protagonist with eyes so dense, it takes seven years for light to pass through them.
