<p>I&#8217;ve been following <a href="http://www.davidoreilly.com/"><span style="color:#00ccff;">David O&#8217;Reilly&#8217;s</span></a> compression work (highlighted in my post on <a href="https://shapeandcolour.wordpress.com/2009/02/18/datamoshing-kanye-west-nabil-elderkin-welcome-to-heartbreak-chairlift-ray-tintori-evident-utensil/"><span style="color:#ff6600;">Datamoshing</span></a> &#8211; a term which <a href="http://www.davidoreilly.com/2009/02/datamoshing-is-so-over"><span style="color:#00ff00;">O&#8217;Reilly himself openly despises</span></a> &#8211; a little while ago), but his recent short &#8220;Please Say Something&#8221; just completely blew me away. Described as &#8220;A troubled relationship between a Cat and Mouse set in the distant Future&#8221;, I have never seen anything quite like this before. It&#8217;s so digital, and yet so human; an incredible blend of skill and story. I totally forgot where I was while I watched it. Absolutely engrossing.</p>
