Volvo got their art on

Inside this epic Zurich train station building for the last few days was an art orgy for a select number of street artists. C-Line, Blackyard, DAIM, Nevercrew, Pius Portmann, Suki Bamboo, Yummy Industries, Lowrider, Donovan & Onur and Wes21 each had a half a day to stamp their mark. Each day as commuters and tourists walked by the car was painted and repainted. Props to Volvo for setting up the exhibition. Below are a few examples thus far.

I came across this beauty in The Best of Make for 2010. Great use of homemade electronics = better than the original. well done dorks.

close your eyes.

An interesting new stimuli utilized in an advertising message by BMW. This new approach seemed to wow consumers.

Could have some fascinating implications, especially within more immersive environments or even experiential marketing where you could create eyes-closed experience by initiating pitch darkness. Could be even cooler if there wasn't a brand logo showing up at the end.

close your eyes.

Members of the Ironlak family released an awesome video on their blog. Beautiful artwork and lots of it. Check out their site for some good photographs. Below, the video shows the crew at work!

enthusiasm + innovation within architecture

The problem:
You have 344 sq. foot home. You have your parents and younger sisters living with you. Your bedroom is the living room and your style is cramped.

Do you:
A.) Get the f*ck out and buy a new place to accommodate?
B.) Pull a Gary Chang and solve the current problem?

Props to Gary for having the vision and imagination to create an effective solution. This is truly inspiring.

I believe Albert Einstein said it best with, "Problems cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them.”

go big or go home

saw this on fantasy factory a couple days back. Awesome.

the art is coming at me

Evan Roth is ripping it up once again with some 3D graffiti art realized. Literally.

You may know Evan from compelling projects such as L.A.S.E.R. Tag, Graffiti Research Lab, F.A.T. or the amazing EyeWriter work he did. To say the least this guy has been fusing technology, art and culture together in unique ways for a long time. It's how he gets down.

get your freak on

This dark and twisted animation captivated me while eating my ham sandwich at lunch. Thought I would disturb you as well.

the art of beers

It's a beautiful thing...isn't it?
Is this supposed to be an emphasis on the art of brewing an exceptional brew? Does the artwork in these ads translate? Personally I am not sure if nothing gets lost in the translation, but either way they are pretty to look at.

do something with your life

make a 2 mile camera remote. I thought this was cool little project. I want to set up on my neighbor's rooftop and take pictures of myself on my roof top just for the sake of it now.

what's the next big platform?

your face.



Well not your face, but your body. New technology has some major implications. Very interesting.

what's the next big platform?

Experience this.

An experiential project by Veuve was created that emphasizing many of the brand attributes. Orange vines wrap around the room symbolizing actual champagne vines. The brand colors are used throughout to create a magnificent orange and yellow dream land. This dream land complete with a luxurious bed that is stated in a Notcot article as "a luxury sleep experience created to help you get the best rest physically possible, optimized for jetlag recovery."

I have a feeling that once people experience these burnt orange and yellow colors that they begin to initiate emotional feelings of luxury, comfort, lavishness and superiority.

Experience this.

definition of OG = GGRP

By far one of the coolest promos I have seen in a while. GGRP, which is an innovative sound engineering company has gone old school to promote their sound quality skills. They have a great website too...check it out. This work is classy and sexy...well done!


First seen here.

design + function = Sanyo

The new Sanyo bike is super rad as it charges itself throughout your ride so that when you have to tackle hills it will do most of the work. I have a feeling these types of innnovations will increase larger adoption of bicycle riders, especially within metropolitan areas. Well done.
