Each day during Ramadan, 30 Mosques bloggers Aman Ali and Bassam Tariq visited a different state in the US and wrote about their experience each night, highlighting stories about the people they met, the mosque they prayed in and the food they ate. They ignited a movement inspiring bloggers everywhere to visit mosques in their own communities and share their experiences. The site is full of provocative photography, authentic videos, and of-the-moment social storytelling from an engaged and exhilarated public -- who exhibit a collective amazement that the site even exists. The site is a work of art with a deeply embedded social practice and revolutionary poetic voice where every image is an invitation to look deeper.

Collisions is the new high bar for nonfiction virtual reality. It is the collision of science and spirit, a breathtaking artist’s journey to the Australian desert into the world of Martu elder Nyarri Morgan -- a story where the newest immersive technology splays open the brutal impact of destructive scientific technology. The brilliance here is in how the body & soul travels through the work, how the voice and experience of the indigenous subjects have primary agency, how the viewer is invited in to a worldview that transcends place and time, holding within it the hope for the future of the planet. It’s a masterpiece.

10,000 clips, 10,000 spoken sentences, a limited amount of time until you are bumped off the site for 24 hours. Network Effect is a sexy and mesmerizing journey into the psychological impact of life on the Internet. The project positions the data we generate as omniscient, the social networks connective; it provides a deep experience of the interplay of mind/body in the native tropes of life online. I love the Carl Jung quote offered floating in the clouds when the site goes dark after your allotted time: Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
