viral advertising campaign
There is a good viral campaign on youtube.com from the brand Tipp-Ex features a nice interactive banner in which you can tell a bear and a hunter what to do to, or with, each other.. It is well done, funny and most of all new. I think it is a good example that there are still ways to impress people by advertising!

Fase call themselves a “music collective, a magazine, or a design studio,” which doesn’t entirely make sense to us, but this confusing blend of descriptives becomes utterly clear when the Argentines apply their love of music with motion graphics. Their music clip for “Me and Miss Rand” by Brendan Crosskerry is an exercise in fluidity as ink-like blots blossom and dissolve through space in sync to the melody, like watching a live watercolor painting.

how to architect informations
Information architecture (IA) is the art of expressing a model or concept of information used in activities that require explicit details of complex systems
Between 2008 and 2009, they architected and designed eight news sites, two online services and ten corporate sites. All our clients’ websites combined produce over 3.4 billion page views per year. (ZEIT ONLINE, krone.at, Tages-Anzeiger, Basler Zeitung, Berner Zeitung, FACTS 2.0) they invented also the “tabs” system for Mozilla.
And they design each year the Web Trend Map!
AND THIS IS A REALLY COOL OVERVIEW OF THE INTERNET!
impressive people meet an formidable artist
JR owns the biggest art gallery in the world. He exhibits freely in the streets of the world, catching the attention of people who do not visit museum. His work mixes art and action, talks about commitment, freedom, identity and limit. After he found a camera in the Paris subway, he did a tour of European Street Art, tracking the people who communicate messages via the walls.
In 2006, he made portraits of a generation, portraits of the suburban ‘thugs’ that he posted in huge formats in the bourgeois districts of Paris. This illegal project became official when the Paris City Hall wrapped its building with JR’s photos. In 2007, with Marco, he did Face 2 Face, the biggest illegal photo exhibition ever. JR posted huge portraits of Israelis and Palestinians face to face in eight Palestinian and Israeli cities (Project “Face to Face”) on the both sides of the security fence / separation wall. In 2008, he embarked for a long international trip for ‘Women’, a project in which he underlined the dignity of women who are often the targets of conflicts and called his project ” Women are Heroes“. In September 2009 he showed his project in Paris at the Seine and it was quite amazing to see it, but at this time I didn’t know the concept behind the big eyes, which where watching the people.
After these local exhibitions, the images are transported to London, New York, Berlin or Amsterdam where people interpret them in the light of their own personal experience.
The Couleurs of African Cultures
after my last article about the couleurful fashion from Berlin I knew what I wanted to show you today…
These photos are bits and pieces of the colorful documentation, that photographer Phyllis Galembo, has collected throughout Africa, Haiti, and Jamaica. It shows the native people in masquerade and in everyday attire. Galembo’s work is full of narrative and cultural references, full of color, and made of emotion. Totally inspiring!
Grey is out. Gloom is gone. It’s time to live our lives in colour.
I stumbled over this couleurful project today and I am totally in love with it. The Let’s Colour Project is a worldwide initiative to transform grey spaces with vibrant colour. A mission to spread colour all over the world. The Project started in March 2010 and brought colour to Brazil, France, the UK and India.The local communities rolled up their sleeves and joined them in painting schools, streets, homes and squares.
Together, we can change whatever we want. Together, we can add a simple splash of colour, which will really show the power it has to inspire us all.
Once upon a time…
Today I won’t write anything particular, but you can listen to the great story little Capucine is telling her mum!
” Better Life, Better City”
After my first researches for the extravagant Pavillions at the EXPO 2010 in Shanghai, I found the UK Pavillion made by Thomas Heatherwick Studio really amazing and it is standing out of all of the others Pavillions. The EXPO 2010 ” Better City, Better Life” will start at the 1.May and will last until 31. October 2010
The Seed Cathedral sits in the centre of the UK Pavilion’s site, 20 metres in height, formed from 60,000 slender transparent fibre optic rods, each 7.5 metres long and each encasing one or more seeds at its tip. During the day, they draw daylight inwards to illuminate the interior. At night, light sources at the interior end of each rod will allow the whole structure to glow from the outside.. As the wind moves past, the building and its optic “hairs” gently move to create a dynamic effect.
The Idea for this Pavillion is described by Heatherwick as following:
The UK, with its millions of gardens, thousands of public parks and garden squares, has pioneered the integration of nature into cities as a way of making them healthier places, in which to live and work. The UK pavilion encourages visitors to look again at the role of nature and wonder whether it could be used to solve the current social, economic and environmental challenges of our cities.
You can see all other pavillions at designboom site and make yourself an own opinion.

“Pictures on Pictures” is an amazing exposition in the Museum Moderner Kunst Wien about Minimalism and discursive paintings from Albers to Zoebling, which I was able to see durind a short stay in the austrian capital.
The works in the exhibition reflect the Daimler Collection’s main focus on the abstract avant-gardes and reductive, conceptual movements from Bauhaus to contemporary art today. The exhibition includes about 75 artists from around twenty countries, spanning a period of about one century.
It is divided in various topics, each of which refers to the historical and current positions starting from Bauhaus, De Stijl, Hard Edge and New Color School USA, constructive and concrete art, European Zero avant-garde, Minimal art and aspects of design, to Neo Geo as well as current positions.
It will be in Vienna from the 26.March till 27.June .2010. If you have the possibility to see this wonderful city with their gentle inhabitants than take your time and go to the Museums Quartier and visit this exposition.

Ideas worth spreading
I want to present you today one of my favorite internet sites, where you can watch amazingy inspiring videos from the TED conferences, which are hold in Long Beach, California by intresting people, who share the idea of bringing together people from three worlds:Technology, Entertainment, Design. It is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading started in 1984.
There you can find really good talks, which opens your horizon and let you think about it for a while. I am happy, that sites with informative, intresting, inspiring talks are on the web for free.
We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world. So we’re building here a clearinghouse that offers free knowledge and inspiration from the world’s most inspired thinkers, and also a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other.
And when you sometimes are confused about the speed some people talk, you can even have a subtitle in the language you need.
All together it’s anice example of the “open-source” idea!Well done!
