Buildings and towns are the crystallization of people’s designs. On the contrary, war and terrorism mean the destruction of such crystallized designs. When it was founded, BAUHAUS, which is committed to design, declared the ultimate goal of figurative arts to be "architecture". This word "architecture" is considered to connote the environment. Producing an environment where people can lead a humane life; this is what we consider design to be. Will the coming 100 years become a century of design or of war? How should designers link with society in the new world called the "network"? This is what we need to consider.

Watch as a flock of elegant 3D flamingos sleep delicately balanced in a turquoise lagoon while other flamingos walk past at varied speeds and in varied directions or scoop up and sieve the lagoons waters in a search of food. Asian string music plays softly to soothe the spirit. Want a restful night time scene? Just set the time of day to night time and a dark shadowy blue hue is cast over lagoon and flamingos. Prefer a dusky sunset scene? The default dusk setting produces a deep reddish hue.

FadingImages is a plugin for the Mac OS X screen saver engine that displays the images from a specified folder scattered across your screen and slowly fades them out. It will cycle through all the images before repeating, but since they fade at different rates you will over time end up with different images - and always in different locations and scales.

This screensaver draws snowflakes falling down your screen. Simple enough, but the oh-so-clever part is that it uses a semi-physical model for growing each snowflake, meaning every snowflake is actually unique, and also that it uses a quite a bit of processing power. But that's the price you pay for indivduality!

The screen saver contains some of my most-loved quotes. When I was sitting around with my friends one night brain storming how to raise money for graduate school, they suggested I sell my screen saver. I offer a demo version for free and a full version for only $7. The demo version contains 10 quotes, the full version has FIVE times as many quotes!

This MacOS X screensaver is based on xmatrix, the xscreensaver hack. I had xmatrix as my LinuxPPC screensaver for as long as Linux was installed on my machine, and thus when I dumped LinuxPPC for OS X, I wanted to bring xmatrix along with me. So, I lifted the logic and the glyphs from Jamie's code, and marched merrily along with no clue about what I was doing.

Reminisce with me about being a Mac user in the ’80s. Saving the CRT on your precious Plus or trusty IIcx from dreaded burn-in was serious business. Maybe you opted for the simple blank screen; perhaps animated line art was more your style. For me, it was all about the fireworks. Silent, hypnotic, dependable fireworks. It seemed to be what the Mac did on its days off; tiny pixellated explosions were its hobby.
