"Part art installation, part pacifier," Wee See is a new collection of black and white kaleidoscopic animations designed to stimulate and engage a child's curiosity. Artist Rolyn Barthelman's end result is nothing short of a genius sensory experience for babies—and surprisingly parents too! Simultaneously energizing and hypnotic, the images are set to music scored by singer-songwriter Tim DeLaughter, the front man of Tripping Daisy and, more recently, The Polyphonic Spree. Not only is this just the sort of child's play any hip parent will want in on, but I plan on ordering a set for my next party's background TV action.
I love the endearing subway stickers Barthelman used for Wee See's launch [seen below]. He furthered the celebration by creating a budding blog, Wee Saw, that delivers even more smart design to tots. After all, they're not above using the parents to do so.
I agree with the part pacifier...it's fantastic. It also makes me want to plan a party around it. Imagine everything black and white mod with that playing like you said. It makes me think of black and white mobiles meets technology.
I was destined to be a part of the creative world—between my early obsession with Fashion Plates and declaration at a young age that Jem was more hip than Barbie, it was just a matter of time until my fondness for design became a career. A Louisiana native, I moved to New York and led the wholesale divisions for Hollywould and Jill Stuart, as well as designed with couturier Ralph Rucci. With my husband and our furry daughter, Burkly Deluxe, we embarked on a few years of overseas adventures in Malaysia. We are now back Stateside “Inside the Loop” in Houston, Texas.

Very interesting... My daughter would stare at black and white optical images when she was a baby. It is quite mesmerizing.

I just watched this with my little one and we were both mesmerized. Finally a video that suites us both.
