Daisy-chain of "hyperspace" scenes from films. A collaboration with Mike Merrill.
The hyperspace is an enduring concept in science fiction, as it provides a kind of panacea for all conflict. The slip into hyperspace/warp speed as a plot device is ordinarily used either as a) An accidental tunnel to the unknown, or B) An escape from danger via total oblivion.
Both represent an inversion, or temporary lifting, of the accepted order. It's interesting to note that hyperspaces aren't native to outer space -- we see them in films like Altered States and Freejack as wormholes into profound "inner" or mental space. The function is the same, probably because hyperspace is a fictional concept native to the psychedelic experiences of the human mind, one that has been ported over to sci-fi because of its more or less universal capacity to be understood.

Altered States
Unarius: The Arrival
Lawnmower Man
Speed Racer
DUNE
The Black Hole
Life On Earth
I had a similar idea but never got around to it... to collect film versions of what the internet looks like like cyberpunk films like Johnny Mnemonic etc...
What's the one from 3:20 - 3:25, with all the mandalas and sacred geometry? It is especially awesome.
Not that anything can touch Kubrick, of course...
i hope TRON legacy brings something new to drool at.
