organic is not only in but also stylish
Posted on | October 17, 2007 | No Comments
browsing through the world of advertising and consumer commnication in general you feel it more and more: organic, very real, fantastical, street art alike or theatrical execution is in the trend. michel gondry doing it for a long time now (just produced the motorola “experience”, posted in my advertising section) probably was also one of the first working that way, also making it his signature style.
team one in california now produced a nice piece (director: stylewar) for lexus. just the fact that i’m on the edge of having enough of all organic in my life sets me off a bit. i am ready to move on.

take a look at this amazing new product demo blaise aguera y arcas presented at TED. using photos of oft-snapped subjects (like notre dame) scraped from around the web, photosynth (based on seadragon technology) creates breathtaking multidimensional spaces with zoom and navigation features that outstrip all expectation.
TED stands for technology, entertainment, design and started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. the annual conference now brings together the world’s most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes).

as a child i was always told by my parents not to play with food but if i had done music with it, it probably would have been different. anyway, these guys do play with food – actually vegetable – and they do make music. take a look it sounds pretty cool.
fiat500 with art from tracey emin
Posted on | October 13, 2007 | No Comments
… “The Fiat 500 is the car that defined post-war, Continental style. So when the Italian car maker decided to follow in the tyre marks of the Volkwagen Beetle and the Mini by creating a new version for the 21st Century, they faced a challenge: just how do you do you make the ultimate in bijou chic even cooler?
The answer: get Britart phenomenon Tracey Emin to do a paint job on four of them. Emin has painted the cars as part of her mobile exhibition in London Frieze week. Emin examples aside, the Fiats will arrive in the UK in the New Year and the first of the new 500s are hitting the Continent’s roads now.
Tracy Emin used one of her customised versions of the car to drive to the Royal Academy of Art’s annual dinner, where she was guest of honour. The car, entitled You Go Around Me, featured a drawing of a kneeling, naked woman on the front door in the artist’s simple, signature style. Beneath the woman is the stem of a plant, that goes right around the exterior of the car, flowering just above the headlight.
“I really enjoyed working on the Fiat 500, which I refer to as the ‘mouse car’”, the artist said. Emin deliberately chose not to play up to the size of the car with saccharine drawings, instead opting for more shocking works, featuring naked figures in sexualised positions. “It was tempting to make them even more super-cute, but instead I decided to give them an edge”, said Emin.
The series is called “Drawings in Motion”, and the four painted cars will drive around central London from 9 October to 21 October, throughout the Frieze art fair. The chauffeur-driven artworks will also be available for art enthusiasts to flag down free of charge to travel between galleries.” …

is it awesome? yes it is! can watch those commercials over and over again. the tbwa team in ny did a great creative job and produced some master pieces of humour. do i buy or eat more skittles? no. but they definitely delivered sunlight in some boring and dark moments.

paul paper photography
Posted on | October 11, 2007 | No Comments
day-dreaming was one of the words paul paper used describing to me what his photography is often inspired by. the in vilnius, lithuania based photographer “loves to day-dream, wander to the strange places and meet strange people. people and their creativity inspire me a lot.”.
the work on his website proves it: images to get lost in, filled with details to explore. paying attention to things most other people wouldn’t he is a quiet and intimate observer in the life surrounding him with a fine eye for a unique image composition.
working as photographer now for about 6 years he wants to make a movie someday. definitely something to looking forward to – not only for him but also for those who appreciate his kind of work.
left or right brainer

if you want to know whether you are left or right brain oriented and what it means make the test on the news.com.au website and find out if you see the dancer spinning clockwise or anti-clockwise. tested it with friends and as impossible as it seems we saw it spinning different directions. one amongst us was able to see it either way.
