Samorost.swf,
combines Myst/Riven-like puzzles with a whimsical animation
style. The puzzles are challenging but surrealistically intuitive,
and the combination of gorgeously textured organic settings
and playfully animated vector characters is plenty of motivation
to advance to the next level. Samorost is a rare combination
of entertainment, art, absurdism, and humor.

radio for experimentation? Twenty people immersed in radio,
sound and performance (Prix Italia winners, Prix Futura winners,

savvy DJs and writers on the social and aesthetic margins)
