Passage.
A short, sweet, and surprisingly moving piece of video game art. Will you stay where you are and explore, gathering identical treasure and accruing arbitrary points? Will you keep a steady path and try to get as far ahead as you can? Will you fall in love? What will you do with your brief time?

People in Order: Age.
Three minutes, one drum and a century’s worth of Brits.

Noah takes a picture of himself every day for 6 years.
There’s something unsettlingly poignant about watching a total stranger age six years in the space of about six minutes. I’ve returned to this video a few times over the past year, and I’m not entirely sure why I find it so fascinating. I think part of it is context - digital snaps and a YouTube window, us with ever more and more technology to record and preserve and - we like to think, in our weaker moments - extend our lives, but when you get down to it, it’s just us, passing through. Or maybe it’s the intermittent frames with someone in the background. People come in to our lives, attracting so much attention, and then disappearing, so quickly as unremarkable as the detritus in the background, and indistinguishable from the unpredictable next, who will soon become unremarkable themselves. Maybe it’s because I’m not a kid anymore, and haven’t been for a while, though I never noticed when that actually happened. Maybe if I catch that moment in him, it’ll give me a clue about mine.
