Experience Wii

I've gotta say that this actually caught me off-guard. Here I was expecting it to be a simple youtube video, but it was so much more. Do yourself a favor and check it out. It's a great use of the medium in a new way that will no doubt have an effect on the target audience. The movement and the overall feel of this is also completely consistent with the concept of Nintendo's console.

As I watched this though, I remembered a project I did for New Media Art class in college. Our concept had to do with chaos, the second law of thermodynamics, and erosion. We designed a website that featured videos and content that related to that concept. After a minute or so, the website would start to fall apart. Paragraphs would disappear, images would turn into broken links, etc. It was a cool project, but not nearly as nicely executed as this one.
