Kaleidoscopic and geometrically elegant compositions are the specialty of Franceso Lo Castro. As if his 2d pieces weren’t enough, Locastro has animated a couple of them under the seeming influence of the star-gate sequence from Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. Just stellar work. GEOMETRIC FUSION.

Utilizing a public service that most of us have no clue about, Sander van Den Berg has arranged hi-resolution photos taken from NASA missions, into mind-blowing space time lapses.
