The On/Off Machine
March 30th, 2010 · Adam · No Comments
A useless machine with lots of charm. I imagine it saying “No” as it switches itself off.

Berlin-based artist Hans Hemmert held a party not in the name of fun, as would normally be expected, but as a ‘platform’ to exhibit an idea. His partygoers were asked to wear shoe-extenders so they all stood at the same height of 2 meters.

Celebrating award wins for Close Special Situations Fund
March 24th, 2010 · Steve · No Comments
We were delighted to hear that Close had won two awards (the 2009 PLC Award & the 2010 Professional Advisor Award) for the spectacular performance of their Special Situations Fund. We were even more delighted to be asked by Close to develop an online creative campaign celebrating the fact that they had won. We recommended a scientific approach that visually helped to re-enforce the robust performance of the fund. The sliding scale drawing the eye to the exceptional performance of the Fund in comparison to competitors.

Cats, Russia, Art
March 22nd, 2010 · Ric · No Comments
This experimental animation was created in 1968 by some Russian scientists showing, even at the height of the Cold War, they had some time for fun. Each frame was created on computer out of letters, these were printed and filmed to make the above. It is slightly disturbing when the Kotenok’s (that’s Russian for kitten) head gets very big, but it’s very like the style of Russian children’s animation of the period.

These great pictures are by artist Dave Devries. Taking doodles and sketches from very young kids he re-imagines them into 3D illustrations. Using extra colour, textures, and shading he indeed makes them a lot scarier. Want some more? Here you go. Read more

Paul, Adam and I have first-hand experience of the Heineken sponsorship of the Champions League through the medium of table football. We know it’s not easy, it’s challenging, emotional even. But what we suffered pales in comparison to these poor Italian football fans.
