The Turn

The Turn is a fascinating look at the work of artist/singer Fredo Viola. The navigation alone is worth marveling over, but the concept might even eclipse that. He records multiple video tracks of an audio piece (song) and puts them together to "watch" the song come together. This is standard fare on youtube these days, but this presentation is mesmerizing and beautiful. Extraordinarily well done.

The Atlas of the Real World

The Atlas of the Real World is a beautiful look at how the world would be shaped if it was based on other criteria. The one on the left is Internet Users in 2002. The book is available here.

About Me

Blog of peter centofante: father, husband, brother, UX designer, freelance graphic designer, believer, realist and thinker (at least i'd like to think so.) This blog is a collection of my thoughts and things i find interesting.

I believe that ideas can change things. I think that when people are inspired by something, they rarely attempt to copy it, rather they use that spark towards their own goals, projects, and worldviews. In light of this, my goal is to share many ideas, in the hopes of making everything better.

Enjoy.
