EYES WIDE OPEN 2

This is a genius animation that breezes through the evolution of human civilization through the perspective of a lone animated character's mind. The video follows the thoughts of a character pondering human civilization, where it came from, and what it has become. At first the video is slow and ordered, the connections between ideas and events seem simple enough for the character, but as the video moves on ideas come faster and are harder to connect and ultimately spin out of control. Its extremely short, but I think the video does a good job at playing with and exploring the idea of human "progress".
