Many people sent me this weird-surrealistic-scary-funny video:
Ale/pepino explained to me that this video was made by the Japanese artist Takashi Murakami 村上隆, a well known contemporary artist who created the superflat style.

Nissan GTR vs Bullet train
A Nissan GTR racing against a Japanese Bullet Train (Shinkansen). Well, it is not exactly like that, it is a race between a GTR and doing the same route with public transportt. Usually in Japan you arrive almost everywhere faster using trains and not cars.
I found very interesting the video because it shows the rural Japan, beautiful landscapes, big highways and also mountain roads. I also found interesting the car control panel (Minute 8 in the first video). The panel is designed by the same company that designs the cars UI for the Gran Turismo video game series. A video game company designing a real world car user interface, isn’t it awesome? But I think it is natural, sometimes things we find in video games are much better than in the real world. For instance, the United States Army is “studying and learning” from UIs from games like WOW or Starcraft.
Enjoy the ride!
