Just some random musings and sites today. Enjoy.
A
Adobe Museum of Digital Media. A cool and interesting idea where a museum dedicated to Digital Media is developed entirely online. You have to play around with it, as it’s a bit odd. If anything though, it will remain etched in my mind for moment of epiphany by an ‘architect’ from Goodby Silverstein & Partners (the ad agency behind the idea) when he and the team find out that “this was the precise moment when we realised that doing something virtual wasn’t that easy…”
Some of you may remember the TED winner JR from a few mails ago. He’s back and with a vengeance for his newest project, Inside Out. In his words, “INSIDE OUT is a large-scale participatory art project that transforms messages of personal identity into pieces of artistic work. Everyone is challenged to use black and white photographic portraits to discover, reveal and share the untold stories and images of people around the world. These digitally uploaded images will be made into posters and sent back to the project’s co-creators for them to exhibit in their own communities.” Quite.
Can’t remember if I featured this in previous mails or not, but this is a nice idea from a Japanese band, that has just been voted a finalist in this year’s SXSW: an interactive music video that gets customised every time you view it depending on your personal data and social networking status. You sign up using Facebook, Twitter and a webcam but for those of you who don’t have (or want to) connect via Facebook, you can see the non-connected version here.
As described by Russ, totally pointless but cool site for a Friday.
And lastly, a fun mashup that allows you to search the Creative Commons images on Flickr according to colour.
