I think the site would be an awesome allegory if there were, instead of one box-like shape, two vaguely tower-like shapes that were perpetually falling down. posted by seanmpuckett at 6:01 AM on September 14, 2011 [3 favorites]

This site would also be an effective mood enhancer if they changed the colors a little and threw some mellow steel drum grooves behind it. Let's all relax super hard today. posted by SharkParty at 10:23 AM on September 14, 2011

The fact that it's giving people vertigo has reassured me that I am not susceptible to feelings of vertigo. So for that, I deem this website: worth it! posted by penduluum at 12:14 PM on September 14, 2011 [1 favorite]
I see that kind of repeating pattern stuff when I close my eyes. It's like my own little 60s dance-party video. posted by blurker at 1:37 PM on September 14, 2011
The sound does sound like falling, but the motion on the screen is in a (relative) direction that makes me feel like I'm rising. Shouldn't it be named falling rising?
(also, you can the transition, where the beginning of the sound fades in as the end fades out.) posted by BurnChao at 10:55 PM on September 14, 2011
