My first musings with Processing have been dedicated to this kind of stuff (a product of that particular tool, perhaps?), but reactive to sound as opposed to composed to a soundtrack as the Wee See stuff seems to be. As for a preference between the Wee See work and the Niels Fyrst piece that Bo linked to, I think it's subjective. I def. preferred the soundtrack that went with the Fyrst piece, but preferred the hard lines and contrast of the b&w Wee See stuff. More please :) Nice find!

And strangely enough, my parents watched Sesame Street in grad school before I was born, when it had just come out. (PBS was the only channel on the antenna!) @massta: I was raised on it.

I know there are much older examples of this, too, of course. bo: Really nice work.

I like when something is somehow complex in it's simplicity and filled with little suprises... this was all very very linear and slow.
