Meher Gourjian’s
“Plug”
Carefree moments between a man and a woman in a field—dreams
brewed by players in a huge virtual reality environment—become
secondary to the real need: plugging in. Using live action
with animation, this short film takes the contest between
reality and dreams to its conclusion. Comments

Gicheol Lee’s “Typorganism”
Think letters are just to make words? “Typorganism,”
by New York-based
artist Gicheol Lee, makes you think again. Based on a
“metaphorical notion”
of “type as a lifeform,” it creates a playful
laboratory of fonts, letters, keystrokes and letter art. Comments
