Electric Sheep

[pazma]

Wondering how many PDers know about electric sheep--it's a collaborative abstract art project where computers from all over the world who have the program installed "communicate" with each other and create what are called "sheep" which are basically morphing fractal animations. These animations "breed" with each other and create more sheep over time, basically creating a never-ending supply of crazy trippy animations. Check it out: http://electricsheep.org/about It's a fun time, one of my favorite things I like to look at while tripping.

If you don't have a good enough download/upload speed you might not want to download the app as it can take a long time for your computer to accumulate sheep and cause your connection to slow down a bit, but if that's the case you can check out this 2 hour video compilation of a bunch of different sheep that were accumulated over time. This is one of my favorite videos, I love showing it to people who have never seen it (especially when they're tripping) and watching it is one of my favorite things to do while I'm tripping. It just sucks you in and I'm completely mesmerized by the fact that computers communicate this way and share ideas and create such beautiful things on their own. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVD67pMdv9k

Just thought I would share the magic of the electric sheep to the BL world for anyone yet to discover it. Do you guys have any other trippy animations/videos that you always find yourself going back to again and again?
