What a tumblog. Lots of great modern design and art. Compare to Will it Float.

A lot of design inspiration and source material.

Possibly the best thing on the internet.

Why haven't I heard of this before? Sister Mary was an artist/activist/nun that practiced minimal deconstructionist/postmodern design.

@blprnt experimenting with programmatically generated weaving patterns. Stunning.

This is freaking eerie.

Lovely Situationalist graffiti -- poems plastered over advertisements.

This page presents a scientific paper that has been redesigned as a sequence of illustrations with captions. This comic-like format, with tightly-coupled pictures and prose, allows the author to depict and describe simultaneously — show and tell.

A huge, free collection of Zelda-inspired game music by various artists. Class act.

Great conceptual work. Storytelling through pattern recognition.

A great interview with Bjork wherin she discusses the creative process behind the iPad art/vis app that powers the Biophelia project.

What struck me especially is that she values idiosyncrasy itself. I think she sees something uniquely human in the dusty corners of creative endeavors. Indeed, I'm beginning to realize that just as our weaknesses give us character, so also the flaws in a work of art give it humanity.

You can use the tool of Western Civilization and be impulsive and intuitive and emotional -- and that, for me, creates a lot of hope.

Sometimes pointless delightfulness is exactly what the world needs.

Another @Vlambeer endeavor:

Players all over the world played to save GlitchHiker from extinction and failed: GlitchHiker is a game that has gone extinct. Every successful attempt at collecting more than a hundred points restored the games’ system resources globally and every failure slowly destroyed it.

As the game system withered, increased amount of glitches appeared in the graphics, music, controls and gameplay. As soon as the game would run out of its resources, it would go extinct and become permanently unplayable, not just for that player or for a limited time – it would go extinct for everyone and forever.

Donkey-Kong-meets-platformer. A free indie game by Vlambeer, with worldwide online leaderboards. Wowowowow!

Intro screens from low-res games. I love what a bit of constraint does for design.

Using Google Street Maps to catalogue street art around the world.

Performance artist who disappeared at sea. Gorgeous, stark modernist site, cleverly using flash.

Constructivism abounds in this collection of covers.

A brilliantly executed interactive documentary site about slums: where 1/3 of the world's urban population lives.

A well produced blog detailing great and classic movie title sequences.

Gorgeous colorful, glossy, geometric graphics with a slightly retro feel.

A classy up-scale website with tasteful and simple Javascript enhancements. Gorgeous architectural work as well.

The design is simple and lush all at once. It is also personal, with hand-drawn lines.

The man that singlehandedly invented the art of the opening credit sequence.

Absolutely gorgeous use of old fluorescent tubes.

Still cool.
