If I were ever to have a video as a desktop background, one of these would probably be it! (But I probably never would because it would use up too much electricity to keep it going.) Take a look:
‘Preener’ from MORPHOLOGIC on Vimeo.
‘Corynactis viridis’ from MORPHOLOGIC on Vimeo.
These videos are from Morphologic, a science/art initiative based in Miami and led by a marine biologist, Colin Foord. and a designer, Jared McKay.
Thanks to Deep Sea News (who found it on Boing Boing)!

Wow. Those Ricordea florida polyps look unreal.
This one is pretty awesome too.
Wow. Beautiful!
Yeah I liked when the little crustacean floated over and landed!
And was then savagely devoured by a camouflaged predator! Amazing.
Thanks for the link — very cool stuff. Know a graphic designer who might find this stuff interesting/inspiring, will pass on the link …
Cool! I hope your friend likes it! They update their blog every once in a while with a video and explanation of what’s in the video.
