Great look to this dreamlike visualization for I.SIMONS by director Kristian van Kuijk of Amsterdam-based Cake Film & Photography. Narrated by Jordon Wifi, “For tomorrow is a dream” touches on a series of abstractions — black holes, Mars landings, artificial intelligence, cloning, time travel, pandemics — that while at once seeming to exist in a distant future have slowly merged into our current lives.

Eight visual metaphors exploring the concept of time by Barcelona-based Clim Studio (previously featured here). Creative director and studio-owner, Clim, teamed up with CG animator Edgar Ferrer to create this poetic meditation at the start of the year. While originally intended as a title sequence for a Design Festival that was canceled due to world events, Clim and Edgar decided to continue working on the piece as their own personal project.

“Probably the most optimistic silver lining we can take from 2020 is the forced experience of living an introverted life, one that inherently requires us to be introspective. The uncertainty of today exposed the problems we have as a society. Earth is screaming at us: ‘It’s About Time.'”
