Seoul from Mt. Namsan by Robert Koehler
Mount Namsan is near the heart of Seoul, and probably the best place to see the landscape of the city. This Flickr set takes a look at the city at night from around the mountain.
Lights - Interactive Music Promo Made In WebGL For Ellie Goulding’s Song
If you have a modern web browser, this is recommended - other than the great stylish neon landscape, if you tweet it, your twitter name and avatar could appear in it :)
Gamer Recreations of the World Trade Center by Waxy.org
This isn’t in bad taste as it would first appear:
People deal with tragedy in different ways, using the tools they have at their disposal. Painters paint, writers write, and gamers mod.
Lately, I’ve been interested in seeing how game modders and mappers have recreated the World Trade Center, the events of September 11, and the WTC Memorial in various game engines. Some of these are profane and offensive, quite likely made by teens that have no first-hand memory of the disaster, but most are intended as tributes. Here’s the best of what I was able to find.
Grand Theft Auto IV
By far, the most impressive recreation of the World Trade Center is the ongoing WTC IV project. It adds accurate, photorealistic versions of the World Trade Center subway station and buildings to GTA’s Liberty City — including the plaza, tower lobbies, and car park, with elevators to the rooftop and Windows on the World restaurant. Download the mod, and keep up with ongoing updates, at the project homepage.
Watch the video above at 3:33 (it is very pedestrian).

Love these photographs by Barbara & Michael Leisgen. I had never heard of them before, but a little research taught me they were an artists-couple and these pictures come from one of their first exhibitions in the early 1970’s.Love these photographs by Barbara & Michael Leisgen.

Artefacts by plush (via demoscene.tv)
A very impressive C64 demo which seems to have some simple fractal engine for generating landscapes. Sure its very lo-fi and minimal, but it does have an aesthetic. The music isnt bad for it either.
