Art and Technology: Mrdoob.com




Some call it a funny site, some say it is an inspirational site. Whatever good adjectives can be given to this site is 100% true. Mrdoob.com offers fantastic and awesome works that surely entertains any visitor who stumbles in this great site of art.

The first thing that will welcome you is The Single Lane Superhighway. You will see drawn cars driving their way on that single lane. You can draw your own car there, but unfortunately, the 50, 000 cars goal has been reached and drawing cars has been closed now. But don’t worry, there are still more to see!

One of the popular features in Mrdoob.com is Harmony. This is just like paint, you can draw anything in it and you can even download it once you are done.


Another one is Google Gravity. You will be brought to the Google search engine site and once you type in search bar and enter it, everything on the site will drop down. Some results of your search will fall as well. Google Sphere also shares the same features except that instead of falling down, everything on the site will revolve around the Google logo.

The man behind this is Ricardo Cabello. He lives at Barcelona, Spain and pursued Electronics and later studied Arts. The origin of the name ‘Mrdoob’ came when someone called him “Mister Doob”. He usually names his IM with do_ob, dõ_õb, dò_ób, dê_êb, d=_=b, signifying the letters d and b as his headphones and the two o as his eyes. He stated that he usually wears his headphones so that he can concentrate on his works.

There are still many features and developments to be awaited for in mrdoob.com. So for the meantime, why not sketch or watch his amazing works while relaxing? Visit mrdoob.com now!
