Fragile Machine

This is the story of a life lost and reborn, told without words .

This 2007 edition of director Ben Steele's philosophical convergence of CG visuals and electronic music has never been seen before. The previously released 30 minute version was named Best Animated Film of 2005 by cyberpunkreview.com, won the "Director's Choice: Best Animated Film" award at the Sedona Film Festival, and was given "Special Honors for Animation" at the Imaginaria fest in Italy and Taipei's Future Imprint fest. WFAC in Ontario and the Netherlands New Media fest have also exhibited the film. Mr. Steele's digital art has also been exhibited in Tokyo, New York and LA by Canon, the National Museum of Art in Rome, the Biennal de Valencia in Spain, with fashion designer Thierry Mugler in Paris, at IdN's DesignEDGE in Singapore, with architect Will Bruder in the US, and with Penny Arcade as part of PAX2005. The 30 minute version is available on DVD from fragilemachine.com. Ben is currently working on his debut feature film and can be contacted through aoineko.com.

Looks good but I'll pick up the dvd as this video is of the typical shitty youtube quality.

[aoinekostudios]

@periqa I put up a higher quality version but unfortunately they still compressed it more than I'd like.
