Watch: ‘Cosmohedron’ – Interconnected Psychotropic Animated Short

How interconnected is everything? From atoms and cells and tiny molecules to galaxies and black holes - it's all connected through space and time and relativity. This overwhelming concept explored in this amusing, psychedelic, mind-melting animated short film. Cosmohedron is created by the Boston-based animator / illustrator Duncan Hatch, who is known for this very hallucinogenic style. There's not much of an intro to it because not much needs to be said: "A surreal journey through the interconnections between all things." Including aliens and other weird creatures, not just humans!

I'm a big fan of these kind of mesmerizing, trippy animated creations and enjoy featuring them in our Short Film section. I appreciate how many weird characters are in this, I'd happily spend more time hanging out with all of them. Thanks to Vimeo Staff Picks for the tip on this short available. Quick intro via Vimeo: "A surreal journey through the interconnections between all ...
