Swimmer [Mac, Windows]

Swimmer is a screensaver for both Mac and Windows created by Kazumasa Teshigawara aka qubibi and distributed by the recently launched creative label, SCR.

During sleep, you do not have the control over your body, but you are also not totally out of control. Images and dreams come and go. It is as if you are swimming, or being forced to swim, between reality and dream. This artwork features “swimmers” from all walks of life. As long as you let them be, they will keep swimming, for a mere hour or minute of your day.

Familiar faces appear in the screensaver, names you may recognise: Takayuki Fukatsu (tiltshift generator, quadcamera), Keita Kitamura (brains behind ffffound), Yugo Nakamura (yugop, tha.ltd..)..and many more. Demo comes free but the full version will cost you mere $8. See video below.
