screensaver (peder/marrol/me)

The screen-saver assignment ended up in a cellular fluidly moving structure.
The cells are dragged towards the center, pushing each other around.
The backdrop of the cells function as a clock, where it graduatly fades from light blue in the mid-day, to dark blue in the night. 


ABOUT:
Long, long time ago screensavers were used t prevent the so-called screen-burn-effect, -a permanent disfigurement of areas on a CRT display caused by non-moving text or graphics being displayed continuously for long periods of time. To avoid this effect, screensavers have been used to blank the screen or fill it with moving images or patterns when the screen were not in use. Today screensavers don't serve their original purpose and are primarily used for entertainment. (In fact, they arent needed at all.) 
They are however used today as fancy eye-candy for our coffee-breaks and can be extremely pretty and fascinating  to look at.
