while on the topic of imaginary forces, here’s a fun moment of syzygy:
1. I am watching “Long Weekend” (episode 10 of Mad Men)
2. I just finished posting the Paul Rand tribute video
and
3. I have a note here to post the Number 23 main titles
What do all these things have in common? Amazing work from Imaginary [...]
Paul Rand : Thoughts on Design : a short with a plethora of Paul Rand’s work and words, brought to life in witty animation (and sassy beat) by Imaginary Forces. One important part of the Paul Rand philosophy: “Don’t try to be original, just be good.” This striving towards creation of work “with quality” is [...]
3 of the most interesting music videos I’ve seen this year have come from Justice (the French electronic music duo).
The first one was for D.A.N.C.E., with very cool animated t-shirts
The next was DVNO, an exploration of 80s typography, motion and design
and most recently they released a video for Stress.
In the previous two videos the attraction [...]
I’m sure we all know and love the video for 1, 2, 3, 4…
1, 2, 3, 4
but what I some how missed, and I imagine some of you did as well, where all the other great videos Feist has done with Patrick Daughters. If you’re not familiar with his work, Patrick has also done [...]
I’ve been meaning to write a post on this for a while but I never got around to it. So here goes…In an attempt to take control of current music video situation (the fact that these days people are more likely to watch a music video on YouTube then on MTV) Arcade Fire put out [...]
black cab sessions #37 features the swedish sensation of the siren eyes, lykke li!
she’s playing along with el perro del mar at the middle east on march 9, and we’ll be there with bells on.
I forgot to mention this part: thousands of folks (Lee states that most are teachers/educators) have downloaded the software to build the inexpensive whiteboards (Lee offers it for free from his wii projects page) thanks to proliferation of the demo on YouTube. Which makes me think that I should include some of those snippet videos [...]
You pitchfork readers probably are all in the know about this, but I just recently discovered it (thanks to Steven’s casual mention…) and love the concept. The Black Cab Sessions is a video project in the back of London cabs, music performances recorded by gig promoters Hidden Fruit make for an experience that [...]
Recently, I have been struck by two entirely unrelated sites that use video as a design/catalog element. I realize that I am taken by how video becomes a nicely integrated element, versus a piece of the layout that simply stands apart. As both of these sites are garment oriented, the use of video really allows [...]
This Friday, January 18, from 7 to 7:30.
Samson Projects is showing “And To That I Say This”, a film program from six artists with poetic musings on contemporary global issues. I think my news intake would much appreciate a balance of poetic musings.
From the Samson Projects description (with a tidbit about each video piece):
