We Choose The Moon

We Choose Thee Moon

An ambitious and impressive idea beautifully executed, We Choose The Moon is a celebration, in Flash, of the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landings, recreating the Apollo’s journey in full 3D and real-time wonder. As the original run through of the journey has finished, it is now possible to experience the moon landing at a your own pace, from the Apollo’s launch to Neil Armstrong’s first step on the Moon with the actual recordings from the time running in the background.

Google Maps Typography

Google Map Typography

Over the course of several months from October 2008 to April 2009 Rhett Dashwood spent his free time scrutinizing Google Maps to find letters within the world around him, making his task more difficult for himself by limiting his search to the state of Victoria, Australia.

A strange project mixing traditional and modern elements which seem immiscible, proving how very compatible they are.

Cargo

Cargo

Cargo is a content management platform for creatives from the people over at Space Collective. Though currently still under development, with only a handful of websites allowed to access the system, the system shows much promise in the area of creative communities, acting like a huge sink to collect content of websites in the network.

Hopefully Cargo will soon be available for public consumption.

Tone Matrix

Tone Matrix

Nice, and massively addictive, sinewave synthesizer for making repeating tunes out of art which has a Tenori-On aesthetic to it while, at the same time, costing much less.

Something for those rainy days or anytime you don’t mind being glued to a computer for a long time.
