Sony Bravia commercial

I can't believe I never actually saw this commercial until now. I remember a year ago being in that area in the financial district when I used to live on wall st thinking, "wtf are these weird colorful cubes, and this giant bunny? what??" and now I'm watching this commercial like, "ooooh". I'm probably one of the specs of people in the video

HIPSTERS

The dead end of Western Civilization





"This obsession with “street-cred” reaches its apex of absurdity as hipsters have recently and wholeheartedly adopted the fixed-gear bike as the only acceptable form of transportation – only to have brakes installed on a piece of machinery that is defined by its lack thereof.

Lovers of apathy and irony, hipsters are connected through a global network of blogs and shops that push forth a global vision of fashion-informed aesthetics. Loosely associated with some form of creative output, they attend art parties, take lo-fi pictures with analog cameras, ride their bikes to night clubs and sweat it up at nouveau disco-coke parties. The hipster tends to religiously blog about their daily exploits, usually while leafing through generation-defining magazines like Vice, Another Magazine and Wallpaper. This cursory and stylized lifestyle has made the hipster almost universally loathed. "

I am interested in connections between image and language, titles, punch lines, miscommunication, subversions, open systems, contributions from others, seriality, collections, discovery and inventing.

I employ reductive logic, and strive for objective and rational solutions to form concluded works. I am especially interested in the connection of the start and end points of a hand drawn circle.

Notice

Two funny things I saw today:

On the subway the guy sitting across from me (maybe 27 -33yrs) was completely outfitted in like 1930's 1950's (i'm not sure the era) train conductor gear. His pants, his hat, vest, the works, contrasting with full length tattooed arms. What really made me laugh, was that he sneezed, and pulled out a handkerchief from his upper right vest pocket that looked pretty era specific. He blew his nose into it, then proceeded to immaculately refold the soil cloth and place it back into his pocket. Way to completely invest in your look, man.

Walking back from class, a big disgusting corporate truck roared down 13th street. I hate listening to them, looking at them, whatever. Trucks scare me. This one however, was blasting The Postal Service. Probably as loud as the speakers could get, this dirty ass truck was exploding with one of their most uplifting, tweedle-dee electronica whimsical songs. I literally cracked up.

haha retarded

Fabrica

This is fucking amazing.
How have I never heard of this before?

"Fabrica, Benetton’s communication research centre, was set up in 1994. The fruit of the Group’s cultural legacy, is based in Treviso, Italy in a complex restored and enlarged by Tadao Ando.

Fabrica is not a school, advertising agency or university. It is an applied creativity laboratory, a talent incubator, a studio of sorts in which young, modern artists come from all over the world to develop innovative projects and explore new directions in myriad avenues of communication, from design, music and film to photography, publishing and the Internet. These artist-experimenters are accompanied along their research path by leading figures in art and communication, blurring the boundaries of culture and language and transgressing the traditional borders between a diverse range of communication mediums."

I saw this on yes + me and thought it was cool


I always like stuff that plays with cmyk

I think I"m going to make a series of photographs based on this kind of idea...

I really like this website:

Fabrica Features

its like old school website style but its actually pretty nifty the way the photos of the projects open up.

****
Its cool to see them all together
"Established in 1991, under the editorship of Tibor Kalman, with the premise that diversity is positive and that all cultures have equal value, today COLORS is part of the publishing activity of Fabrica, Benetton's communication research centre. COLORS' editorial offices are situated in Fabrica's architectural complex, restored and enlarged by Japanese architect Tadao Ando, and it has a network of external collaborators in the four corners of the earth."

David Byrne & Brian Eno

"Brian Eno and I recently finished our first collaboration in about 30 years. The name of the new record is Everything That Happens Will Happen Today. For the most part, Brian did the music and I wrote some tunes, words and sang. It's familiar but completely new as well. We're pretty excited.

The album is available exclusively from this Web site. You can stream all of the songs for free and purchase it in a variety of digital and physical formats, including a limited edition Deluxe Package designed by Sagmeister Inc. All formats can be downloaded immediately and physical CDs will be shipped in the Fall.
