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.

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.

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.

speed chat = speed paint

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.

the power of crowd

I recently saw this video in a article on applying persuasion techniques found within psychology discipline. Great visual of influencing behavior.

the battle begins

After a long wait and much anticipation it looks like LEGO Universe is going to be launching soon. As a strong LEGO advocate because of their constant innovation, strategic partnerships and creative brand communications strategy I am especially excited to see their evolution into virtual worlds. LEGO consistently builds meaningful brand interactions that are ahead of trends within media consumption behaviors. Their brand consistently stays relevant among changing digital platforms and interfaces.

LEGO Universe will rival other tween/teen virtual worlds such as Gaia and Habbo, but its game functionality will attract traditional gamers to virtual worlds. It will be interesting to watch the launch, adoption and use of Universe over the next year, especially how brands can extend their IP into new innovative forms of interaction.

Benjamin Palmer from Barbarian Group drops some knowledge on this whole viral thing. Most frustrating experience working within our group is when the client objective is to 'make me a viral video.' Thought I would post since I mirror Benjamin's thoughts.

I was looking at Lynne Johnson's blog where I saw this behind the scenes video of Scion Flux Super 8. It is a great showcase of creative talent from various disciplines, styles and skills.

real world meets internet Part Deux

Similar to my recent post on digital blurring the lines of real world interaction here comes a technology being introduced by Symbian. I strongly believe that AR's adoption will come in a navigation utility function. It seems so natural doesn't it?

you're one awesome bastard

Man, its been a while since i laid a post...that is truly a sign of working too hard and too much. its not easy keeping up a blog...luckily sites like Notcot.org make it easy for me to find cool shit to write about.

A new store in Milan just opened may be one of the dopest i have ever seen. oh yea. named the Bastard Store, it is a store, department and skate park all put together. i would say it wouldn't be a bad job if you had a bowl hanging over you. i think i might be able to push out a few more decks on emerging media if i could take skate breaks. i will have to bring this up to the folks over at PHD...it could even improve my timely blog writing...maybe i would even use proper grammar and punctuation too (who knows what could happen with a skatebowl above me).
