Art for Action

deepasdailydose — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 18:53:34 +0000

WWF Germany set up this artistic action in Berlin’s Gendarmenmarkt to symbolize what will happen if governments continue to sit on their hands and watch as Arctic ice melts and sea levels rise. In this installation, the fast melt of small ice figures reminds us that we have very little time to make the necessary changes. 96 days until the UN conference in Copenhagen.

On Facebook, what you see may really not be! The Viral Factory have just released this series of interactive youtube videos to promote the Samsung ST550 and TL 225 cameras which have an LCD screen at the front so you can take photos of yourself and friends.

The videos features a series of ghouls, aliens, witches and Frankensteins disguising themselves for their Facebook and Myspace profiles. Good use of interactive youtube functionality that appeals to the myspace generation:

Synthesizer… No, It’s a Humanthesizer!

deepasdailydose — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 05:42:34 +0000

The Humanthesizer, is a joint creation between electronic musician Calvin Harris, Sony Music UK, and Bare conductive body ink, which turned 15 bikini-clad ladies into a giant human synthesizer capable of playing Harris’s latest single, Ready For The Weekend. The performers stand on the pads, and touch each other on the hands or body to complete a circuit and trigger a sound. Harris, his hands painted with the ink, played the main keyboard line and effects by interacting with a row of eight girls. The rhythmic portions of the track were played by seven dancers performing a carefully choreographed routine.

Tennis across borders

Ever wondered how wonderful it would be to play tennis with your mate in England while your in India. Well, a bunch of talented artists have done just that!

Using the World Wide Web, they played Layer Tennis — a series of live design events, held over a “season” of Fridays, where players from all over the world face off with with video, animation, sound, photos, typography and more.

The format is part competition, part collaboration — two players swap a file back and forth in real-time, adding to and embellishing the work. Each artist gets fifteen minutes to complete a “volley,” after which the artwork gets posted to the website. A third participant, a writer, provides play-by-play commentary on the action during each ten-volley match. In the end, the 9,000+ Season Ticket holders, yes, that’s how seriously they take the tennis metaphor — vote on the winner.

Crowdsourcing

Building Rome in a Day, new project out of the University of Washington Grail Lab uses 150,000 Flickr images tagged “Rome” to reconstruct the iconic city in 3D. Because tourist photos are taken from a multitude of vantage points, stitching them together into a cohesive 3D image creates rich and spatially accurate models.

The Rome project, which took 21 hours on a cluster of 496 computer cores, reconstructed some of the city’s most famous landmarks — the Colosseum, St. Peter’s Cathedral, Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon.

The team has also begun reconstructing other cities — Venice, which took 250,000 images and 65 hours, and Dubrovnik, at a more modest 57,845 photos and 22.5 hours.

The ongoing project has fascinating applications in reconstructing not only static landscapes, but also dynamic events as they unfold — in the era of citizen journalism, imagine using public images of anything from natural disasters (like the 2005 Indonesian tsunami) to political protests (like the recent unrest in Iran) to create an accurate record of history.

Amazing! isnt it?

Keep walking

Johnnie Walker and BBH London got Scottish actor Robert Carlisle to narrate the story while walking through the misty Scottish highlands. Shot in one continuos take (#40 to be exact) this really shows off the acting chops that Carlisle possesses as he delivers the 5 minute+ bit while interacting with various props along the way. Jamie Rafn was the director.
