I’ve seen a lot of concept vehicles and I’ve also posted many that have caught my eye. Until further notice, this one takes the cake. When it comes to unique design, the Mazda TAIKI wins hands down.
Arcade Fire and our friends over at Google truly put together something that raises the bar on interactive experience. The online video for their song “Wilderness Downtown” tells a tale of a young man running back to his childhood street/home and reflecting on change. You will need to download Google Chrome HERE first. . .then click HERE to launch the video. It will ask you for your own childhood address (or any address that is in a major city that Google street view has covered). . .then using HTML5 the video builds itself around your house and street as a seamless and beautiful experience giving us all a glimpse into the future of interactive activation at its finest. Enjoy!
Here is a flash mob put together by Bounce Streetdance Company out of Sweden. It was held at the amusement park Gröna Lund. Nice to see something different, produced by performers.
OK so I was excited to see the previous post by Todd on the sport of Parkour sometimes called free running. This is a sport I have followed for a while and have tried to a small (very small) degree. It is very strenuous and takes the idea of running around like a kid again up about 100 levels. This is a video a friend of mine made near my house a few years back but it shows that when done properly it looks elegant and nearly effortless. On the promotional side of things this is popping up more and more in advertising and in event activations because of how visually stunning it is. . .
It started with an idea and transformed into this amazing instrument of technology. I love it.
Multiple simultaneous users share total control over the instrument by moving and rotating physical objects on the surface of a bright circular table. Manipulating these objects, representatives of the classical components of a modular synthesizer, users can create complex and dynamic sound typologies, generators, filters and modulators, in a kind of tangible modular synthesizer.
University of North Texas (UNT) student John Bramblitt went blind a few years ago due to his epilepsy. However, he is doing something extraordinary. Painting, by touch alone. This is truly remarkable and inspiring.
Seoul Korea has been emerging in recent years as one of the most innovative and technologically progressive cities in the world and this example of city branding in action is a perfect addition to Taste. Through innovative architecture combined with technology you can make impact in a city that can help brand it the world over. The Bampo Bridge Moonlight Rainbow Fountain project took what could have become a utilitarian water crossing and turned it into a city landmark revitalizing the district. The fountain is comprised of over 10,000 LED programmed water nozzles that pump 190 tons of water per minute.
