The Third and the Seventh | Johnston Architects
The Third and the Seventh is one of the most incredible films I have ever seen.
Here is a direct link to Roman’s site
That’s a profound statement, so let me back up a bit and give you some background. The Third and the Seventh is a 12 minute movie by Alex Roman, a Spanish artist who began doing computer graphics work for a visual effects company in Madrid before getting into the architectural visualization business. Roman became frustrated with the way that client preferences and demands colored images of completed buildings. He took a year-long sabbatical to create a more “pure commercial illustration” of his favorite architectural creations from around the world. The Third and the Seventh is the culmination of this work.

Baroque.me: J.S. Bach – Cello Suite No. 1 – Prelude
Baroque.me (2011) by Alexander Chen. Video capture. baroque.me visualizes the first Prelude from Bach’s Cello Suites. Using the math behind string length and pitch, it came from a simple idea: what if all the notes were drawn as strings? Instead of a stream of classical notation on a page, this interactive project highlights the music’s underlying structure and subtle shifts.

He shows us the next generation of his Trendalyzer software — which analyzes and displays data in amazingly accessible ways, allowing people to see patterns previously hidden behind mountains of stats. (Ten days later, he announced a deal with Google to acquire the software.) He also demos Dollar Street, a program that lets you peer in the windows of typical families worldwide living at different income levels. Be sure to watch straight through to the (literally) jaw-dropping finale.
