at
Swedish digital artist and animator Erik Wernquist set to the words of Carl Sagan. sez he:
Wanderers is a vision of humanity’s expansion into the Solar System, based on scientific ideas and concepts of what our future in space might look like, if it ever happens.
(H/T: Noel Ballentyne)
London-based illustrator and animator Andrew Khosravani sez of his rather adorable short:
The denizens of Crowded amble through their ever-expanding habitat seemingly oblivious to their mutating landscape – while the voyeur sits back and inhales the swarming scenery. The convivial tone veils the dystopian message of the narrative. Cranes, trains and automobiles instil a sense of constant industry – as the populous swells upwards, outwards, downwards and inwards – contorting and adapting – forcing the inhabitants to recast themselves.
From the Tim Burton x PKMN Project of illustrator Vaughn Pinpin.

An award-winning short by Belgian animator Joost Jansen. To wit:

An animated short for Phantom Power by Diagrams created by UK digital animation studio Persistent Peril (they of Barbican: A Microcosm of London). To wit:
