“The Desk”

A short film about designers’ desks.

“With a designer’s desk…the tools, sketches, reference images, Japanese packaging, type samples and printouts provide a more logical cognitive path from initial brief to the final design,” writes Twemlow, who goes on to illuminate how Vignelli’s desk philosophy tracks with both his work style and design style.

Chiral

Chirality is a scientific term describing a structure that is not identical to its mirror image. “Chiral” collects cinematic etudes, which develop various conceptual approaches in order to expand the two-dimensional image into space. They are projected onto a sculpture (510 x 260 x 370 cm) and a screen (250 x 200 cm) made from handmade Taiwanese paper and develop very different lives on these configurations of the same material.

Strange Arrangement

We wanted something magical to happen on this film as the music score is so deeply rich and the piano and string timbre so immense the sound design score was FREE to get wild and out there who fucking cared if it matched. The visuals are out of this world so again our approach was lets go to the next level with this and record everything we see in the film we MUST record and put into the music and sound design.

We collaborated with Weareseventeen on both this Strange Arrangements film and the “behind the scenes” which was created and to be shown at London’s onedotzero festival in 2010. Our role was to creating the sound and music for the film. Which is based on a series of moving sculptures based on the surrealists approach to art.

Future Of Screen Technology

This video demonstrates the result of the Open Innovation experiment, created by TAT. It is an experience video showing the future of screen technology with stretchable screens, transparent screens and e-ink displays, to name a few. 

Nice concepts, though I think Microsoft’s Sustainability video has these guys beat.

Step Up Your Game

Chris Anderson’s inspiring talk on how Internet video is literally changing the world.

The idea is one of those big ones, a simple one that will stick with you for a long time… Online video radically changes the reach and speed of the improvement cycle. Things like dance, snowboarding and TED talks keep getting better, and faster, because artists see the best and improve on it. Even more than that, it requires you to top what’s out there, or you’ll be ignored.
