I don't really like this, for a lack of originality.
I think the mood set and the 3d environment try to emulate the more than excellent work from 3d artist Shane Acker (http://www.shaneacker.com), and this can probably be seen in the short film "9" by Acker's studio.

I invite everyone to see it, as it's a terrificly well produced piece as well as having a beautiful story.

this piece won a prize at Ars Electronica 2005.

the best incarnation is Mr. Garrison's
South Park season 5 ep 11: The Entity

a must-see

I'd like to point out Miltos Manetas as one of the early internet painters.
I also liked his videogames painting.
all of this dates back to 2001/2

he's always been a visionary

actually in sardegna (italy) there was a bigger one.
found it through a friend of mine who lives there

every now and then you can see the dude in amsterdam around the center.
I've only spotted him on summer time, maybe his superior powers don't allow him to be sitting shirt-less in the cold.
this kind of stuff upsets me a lot, and I'd really love the stick to break suddenly, just to have the mesmerized crowd laugh at him.
sorry for more rants
