I was talking with Matt Wade of Kin Design a couple of weeks ago about digital work with 'soul' and how its quite a rare thing. When this popped up in a couple of blogs this week it imediately jumped out as something with a bit of soul.

Perhaps its just the elegance of the movement, perhaps its the marriage of old and new technology to create something that is almost magical...

What ever it is this installation for the BMW museum by Art+Com is just enthralling. You need to be patient but its really becomes very engaging after about a minute.

We'd like you to rate a project for success in three different areas. Tick looks good if it is aesthetically pleasing, and tick works well if it is technically innovative. Most importantly tick performs effectively if you think it meets all of its professional objectives.


Obviously we don't really expect to see any work submitted that is no good, but you never know.

very elegant motion

...but ultimately a little boring, although it's probably much more effective 'live'.

I can't quite see the connection to cars or BMW, even though it does form a car 'silhouette' from time to time during the sequence. It feels to me like there's something missing.
