There was something instantly calming and teleporting about this. I mean, reading about it was one thing, and I went in expecting to be like, huh yeah okay cool.. but the way it was full-screen, and the serenity of the view.. it took me away for longer than a moment and I was transfixed.
I’m going to ramble a bit, but I just tried it again and got that same feeling all over again. It must be some combo of how real it looks, unfiltered, in media res, never on a tripod so you get this ever so irregular swaying and adjusting, the mix of greens and browns and a little bit of action here and there as people go about their lives. It’s a screen, so I expect video that comes in a certain way, content, controlled, with a purpose.. and this? This just is. And it’s so reminiscent of any park memory you might have, that your brain just puts you right into that place.
Tiny Awards… found it here as the 2024 winner, so fun site to keep track of. It gets me thinking about all this small web stuff I keep stumbling on. Same with how Kagi has its Small Web mode that I appreciate but never utilize enough. And how we keep talking about bots taking over the web, socials, etc. This feels like the natural course correction pendulum swing that we would want to do. This, or just going offline altogether really.
