Album Notes

With the spiked eye candy and fractal arabesques of Spotworks, Scott
Draves has significantly raised the bar on digital psychedelia and the
broader category of abstract animation. His electric sheep are the
fluttering Gaian spawn of networked computers and genetic algorithms,
while his visual 'dubs' of Ernst Haeckel's fin-de-siecle scientific
lithographs add a resonant historical dimension to trippy
visuals. Mind-melting stuff, and refreshingly devoid of the usual
fungal kitsch. --Erik Davis, author of Techgnosis and contributing
writer to Wired Magazine


This isn't just tripppy wallpaper -- it's not even just art. This is
garage-band artificial life. Draves is cooking up a new species made
of code, decisions and cooperation, and this disc is a petri dish
swimming with the organisms that deserve to succeed us here on
Earth. I for one welcome our new a-life masters. --Cory Doctorow,
Author of Eastern Standard Tribe and co-editor of Boing Boing.

AMAZING!
author: Leigh Vallejo
Love it! Always have on when people are over and everyone always enjoys. The music is okay but we just put on mute and listen to whatever. Would recommend!

Mind blown

Wow. My brain totally tripped out watching this. The music was okay, and I didn't really like the fact that a lot of the compilations were the same clips edited together, but when you take each one as its own video, it's pretty cool. If I could get these sheep in higher resolution, that would be incredible.

It rocks!!!

Hey Spottworks, I recently came across your DVD and think it is great stuff you made there. For a long time now I know and love the artwork of Ernst Haeckel, but what you have done with it is just great. Moreover it is not only that you use it and make something with it, you connect to the essence of it and use it as a platform to create something new. I was totally pleased to find your making of and explanation videos. The music you underlaid to it is not always my personal choice or my favored stuff, but that doesn't matter at all. Have you heard of developmental trance. It might fit to your frame of mind. Take care, Borris

a month in the waiting to receive this in the uk then there it was i rushed to put it on ans was very pleased with some of the material the packaging is nice and as i say some of the visuals are nice but there are also some very poor visuals on this dvd that were completly unimpressive the music was ok but not to the standard of shpongle or suchlike but overall if you like a trippy vibe its cool enough to scrape through sound negative but still happy i purchased it
