Secret 7: 7 músicas gravadas em 700 vinis com capas criadas por 500 artistas

Secret 7, projeto de arte que envolve grandes artistas criando capas de disco de vinil (7”), cuja venda serve para arrecadar dinheiro para a instituição Art Against Knives, abre as portas de sua exposição no Downstairs At Mother em Londres.

O projeto, que está em seu segundo ano (em 2012 foram arrecadados mais de £33 mil), funciona assim: sete faixas de sete músicos/bandas ganham 100 unidades em vinil, produzidos pela The Vinyl Factory. Depois disso, artistas do mundo todo são convidados a criarem um design para a capa de cada um dos 700 vinis.

Veja como foi em 2012:

O resultado são 700 capas diferentes, criadas por mais de 500 artistas. Depois da exposição, os vinis são colocados à venda, cada um vendido às cegas (ou seja, você não sabe quem criou cada capa e que música irá ouvir até comprar e receber em casa), custando £40 cada.

As sete faixas usadas são: “Bennie & The Jets” do Elton John, “Better Off” de Haim, “Still Love Me” da Jessie Ware, “The Beast” da Laura Marling, “The Don” do Nas, “Rider On The Wheel” do Nick Drake e “Harder Than You Think” do Public Enemy.

As criações podem ser vistas no site dedicado ao projeto. As vendas estarão disponíveis no Art Against Knives, a partir do dia 20 de Abril.

Heineken Ignite: a garrafa interativa

Na Semana de Design de Milão deste ano, que está rolando esta semana, Heineken introduziu a “cerveja inteligente”, uma garrafa que interage com as outras, com o ambiente e com as pessoas ao redor.

O projeto, chamado Heineken Ignite, é resultado de investimento da marca em pesquisa por tecnologia e design pioneiros para criar novas formas de experimentar o produto e a marca.

A garrafa interativa usa microsensores e tecnologia wifi para detectar quando as pessoas estão batendo as garrafas umas nas outras, brindando. Ela também reage quando uma pessoa toma um gole, respondendo à música ambiente.

Com a ajuda de LEDs, microprocessadores e acelerômetros, esses movimentos fazem com que as luzes da garrafa se acendam e pisquem.

Os efeitos também podem ser ativados remotamente, tornam-se compatíveis à softwares abertos e podendo ser sincronizados, por exemplo, às batidas da música que está tocando no ambiente.

O projeto abraça a cultura da balada, tornando a experiência com a marca mais próxima da vida de cada um e o ato de beber da garrafa uma brincadeira divertida.

Anões de jardim declaram guerra em filme da IKEA

Em ritmo de filme de suspense, a IKEA saúda a primavera no Hemisfério Norte incentivando os ingleses a renovar a decoração do quintal. Ameaçados pelas mudanças, os anões de jardim se rebelam e decidem declarar guerra aos donos da casa. Começa, então, a batalha entre gnomos e humanos orquestrada de maneira genial pela Mother London.

O comercial faz parte da campanha Make More of Your Garden e apresenta os produtos da IKEA não apenas como belos e práticos objetos de decoração, mas também ótimas armas de defesa em uma possível invasão de anões de jardim…

A produção da Biscuit Filmworks também merece créditos prelo filme que, além de divertido, é cheio de referências cinematográficas – e não estamos falando de O Fabuloso Destino de Amelie Poulain.

E caso você esteja reconhecendo a música, sim, é uma versão de Time for Change, do Mötley Crue, com arranjo de Tom Player e execução da Palace of Budapest Philharmonic Orchestra e  The Heritage Singers.

Peugeot coloca novo 208 no meio da Corrida Maluca

Para promover o novo 208, a Peugeot convocou os clássicos personagens da animação “Corrida Maluca”, da Hanna-Barbera. Se você tem mais de 30 anos na cara, assistiu muito que eu sei.

Penélope Charmosa, Dick Vigarista, Muttley e outros personagens ganham vida para destacar a assinatura “Dentro dele é outro mundo”, mostrando o 208 como uma tranquilidade no meio da disputa do trânsito urbano.

Filmado na Espanha, o comercial foi dirigido por Antoine Bardou-Jacquet e pela produtora inglesa Partizan. A campanha também conta com mídia impressa, e o comercial estreia na televisão amanhã, durante o intervalo do Jornal Nacional.

Um trabalho incrível e divertido no meio de tantas obviedades do setor automotivo brasileiro nos últimos tempos.

A criação é da Y&R.

Audi R8: Screenshot

In order to promote Audi’s fastest car, we created an ad in digital magazines using its main differential: the speed. To see the new Audi R8, readers needed to photograph it using the iPad’s feature screenshot. While the car passes by in high speed the reader must press the buttons HOME and SLEEP at the same time to take apicture. Only the picture taken at the exact moment when the car is in frame reveals the Audi R8 completely. More than an interactive ad, an Audi ad saved among the personal photos.

Facebook Practices What It Preaches for ‘Home’ Ad Blitz


Facebook is going all-in for its first ad push with TV spots that launched during March Madness championship games — but also with a heavy dose of Facebook marketing to practice what it preaches.

“We get to be our own client,” said Rebecca Van Dyck, Facebook’s head of consumer marketing, speaking at Ad Age’s Digital Conference. “We are going through all the same things that you guys are.”

The product being pitched to consumers is Facebook Home, the Android app unveiled earlier this month that essentially lets the social network take over people’s phones, primarily through a feature called “Cover Feed” that deploys a constantly changing stream of Facebook content to the phone’s home and lock screens. Home can also come preloaded on the new HTC First device.

Crisis in America

A Tale of Three Terrors.

The Boston massacre has rendered visible the big black hole at the heart of the United States of America.

Who did this and why?

Was it al Qaeda delivering blowback for American drone attacks and Guantanamo torture? Or was it a Timothy McVeigh type homegrown terrorist making a grand gesture about gun control on Tax Day? Or was it a random school shooter type attack by a lone wolf suffering from psychosis?

The fact that no one has taken responsibility only increases our collective uncertainty and anxiety. We’ve seen this before. When will it end? Is a call for retribution President Obama’s only response?

There is a crisis in America. A crisis of ethics and a crisis of imagination and, above all, a crisis of leadership.

When will an American leader step forward with a vision that can end the senseless, escalating violence? A violence that is spiraling into the undoing of our once great nation.

Sign the petition asking President Obama to dig deeper and come up with new domestic and geopolitical visions for our future at whitehouse.gov.
