Real-time, (almost, about 25 second delay) app wall, made up of 20 monitors, that pulsate and ripple as each app is downloaded. And all created with Apple software and technologies. Did I mention its organized by color as well? Imagine, a room full of engineers, staring at this wall, downloading an app just to see it pulsate. Want.
LFS, also known as, Lifelong Friendship Society is a motion design studio based in Brooklyn, New York. I was blown away by their work, their ability to seamlessly combine music, motion and design are impeccable. One of my favorites is an opening for the No Spot Short Film Festival. Oh, and they made this rad sculpture for KY sponsored event for Nylon magazine out of KY packaging.
Nando Costa is the brainchild of Nervo TV, a design and animation studio based in Portland, Oregon. I got the opportunity to hear him speak and show his company’s work last week and I’m sure glad I did. I saw boobs, heard a song whose lyrics were boobs and a great animation for Zune with cupcakes. Pretty much made my day. The photo is of an animation sample of a small branding package created recently for Zune. Their approach was to connect various abstract associations to music and it turned out brilliantly. And they did the music. Those fancypants. Check out more here.
*Smilefaucet is a collective of artists who seek to provide an alternative, non-commercial outlet for creative expression. A theme is chosen for a biannual DVD magazine where filmmakers, designers, animators, illustrators, painters and photographers are encouraged to submit work related to that theme. The result is a collection of original pieces which we hope achieves our goal: to twist your *smilefaucet!
Tomorrow evening in New York City will be the world premiere of its eighth installment in its series - UNDO! Featuring an open by Impactist, this should be a fun night to view work by some great talent, old and new!
