Shadow Unit

Via MetaFilter:

It’s the best show not on TV. Complete with a soundtrack, DVD extras (and hidden Easter eggs), supplemental sites, and a growing fanbase (which, in turn, has been creating it’s own fan art and fan fic.) The fourth episode just “aired”.

It is the brainchild of author Emma Bull and is being co-created with Elizabeth Bear, Sarah Monette, Will Shetterly, and Amanda Downum.

As Bull writes, “It would share DNA with Criminal Minds, with The X-Files and Millennium, with Man from U.N.C.L.E. and the old paramedic show Emergency, with The Avengers and a British paranormal series I barely remember called The Champions and a short-lived U.S. series called The Sixth Sense.”

This looks like the Virtual Season concept on steroids.

Dreamlines

Dreamlines is a kind of morphing, living, picture jacker-upper. It takes images from Google image search and does live post processing on them so that they shift and change into semi-coherent, scratchy, half awake versions of themselves. It’s nice in a screensavery kind of way, especially if you have some sufficiently dreamy music to listen to. Here are a few Disney-themed screenshots of the program mid-change.

An edit of several reenactments of a 10 second scene from Full House. Every little nuance of tiny sliver of pop entertainment amplified into something else completely.
