Gift from Grow Interactive




Here's a great site from Grow Interactive. Employees draw an image on the screen which later becomes an interactive element. Quite brilliant!

MelodySphere




MelodySphere is an online game where users can collaborate to produce a composition of music, simply by walking around.  A giant "ray" oscillates around the sphere.  When the "ray" hits your character, the band that you're on determines the sound that your character will produce.  I'm a huge fan of online collaboration, so this is really amazing to me.

Throwing Shoes

So, if you haven't heard about shoes being slung at Mr. W, then you're missing out.  Buzzfeed has a great collection of beautiful GIF alterations to this priceless image.  Here's a hilarious one with a Poké Ball:

The following gem is executed post-production.  But, funny, none the less.


For the Love of God


Damien Hirst's piece, For the Love of God, is about to leave the Rijks Museum.  You can buy this craziness for $99 million, because it has 8,601 diamonds (1,106.18 karats) adhered to its surface.......Woah. Check out the site, as well.

Ever wanted to make your moral opinions public? I know, it's a bit overdone. But, this site lays out the statistics of what others are saying really well. And, it's fun.

The Turn

The Turn is a great website for the performance artist Fredo Viola.  His whole site is a musical instrument actually, and invites the user to spin an ellipse around, creating various sounds from the objects within.

Fox - Volkswagen



So, I'm not really a fan of car sites, but this one really caught my attention. All of the little details that make up a website are acted out by humans in a really funny way. For example: the loader bar consists of a series of cards held up by a group of people.

If your computer can handle it, enjoy Fox Volkswagen.
