The hypnotic video, “Things that Float” (see it after the jump or full screen at YouTube), is the creation of Stephen Nowlin, director for Art Center College of Design’s Williamson Gallery in Pasadena. It represents the first installment in a curated series organized by NASA Images, a division of the Internet Archive, which seeks to make public-domain pictures more accessible.
Nowlin said he created the video using the iMovie application on his Apple laptop.
The project is hosted on NASAImages.org
