david o’reilly: please say something.

My brain just exploded.

I’ve been following David O’Reilly’s compression work (highlighted in my post on Datamoshing – a term which O’Reilly himself openly despises – a little while ago), but his recent short “Please Say Something” just completely blew me away. Described as “A troubled relationship between a Cat and Mouse set in the distant Future”, I have never seen anything quite like this before. It’s so digital, and yet so human; an incredible blend of skill and story. I totally forgot where I was while I watched it. Absolutely engrossing.

    Wonderful short! Watching was somewhat like Déjà vu.

  2. Lovely. Although it seems that it’s inspired by 2046. The writer, the room (2106), love and despair.
