Fractal Zoom
at
Fractal fans Maths Town and Yann Lby combine forces to create this hypnotic wireframe zoom that starts with a 2D Mandelbrot fractal with then iterates to project a vertical axis, at which point there’s no coming back up the rabbit hole..
Full screen, lights off for maximum hypnotic effect.

A woman looks at the inheritance of language in her family and laments what is lost when a language is lost.
A rather adorable short by Daphna Awadish featuring the words of immigrants who’ve left their home and crossed borders for love.
