Small Virtual Transportations

Inspired by this thread, I'd like to build a virtual collection of atmospheric web-based art sites like this one. Do you know of any?
Even if these things aren't the most brilliant creations of Western art, I love the way they function in daily life. I'd like to gather a list of these that I can send people links to, as an unusual 'hello', or a pleasant distraction from reality on a boring day.
If it helps, some of the things I like about this:
-it's non-commercial
-it's atmospheric
-it incorporates motion, images, and music
-it's interactive
-it takes a few minutes to fully experience
-it's stand-alone; you don't need to make a project of registering, paging through a number of choices or thumbnails or lists, you just direct link to it
-it's beautiful.
If you know of other sites like this, please list them here. Searching hasn't been helpful, because I can't find terms specific enough not to return web design firms, art exhibits, flash games, and commercial sites. Thanks in advance.

Response by poster: I was disappointed that there was only one answer, but since this is a perfect and complete answer, AskMe has done its job yet again. Thanks!

Oops....actually, that site comes strangefruits which seems to be well structured for searching/browsing for more of a similar nature.
