Author's description: 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.
Our verdict: Yes, we know. The author's description isn't very helpful. In a nutshell this very slick screensaver is a variation on Apple's RSS Visualizer but with a historical bent. Everything is done brilliantly, from the individual icons that accompany each historical snippet, to the faint image of the Earth floating in the background. Excellent stuff.
