Khaaan!

Artist Daniel Martinico took William Shatner’s finest moment as an actor and stretched it out into a 15-minute video.

You’ll notice the crowd gets quiet after the first few seconds. It draws you in, forces you to pay attention, even if it’s just staring at the back and forth eye tics on Shatner’s face for a minute at a time. “In that moment everyone responds to it,” Martinico says. There’s laughing at first, but then people get into the rhythm of it and study the various little muscles as they pull and twitch on Kirk’s face. “It’s a phenomenal range in just a few seconds.”

Here’s the first two minutes of the video.

It’s pretty mesmerizing, even small and at poor quality. (via greg)
