The false causality bias and the art and science of advertising

Similarly to other big interweb hits the old spice shenanigan brought upon us another wave of stupidity or as I called it previously the false causality bias. People using success stories to prove the effectiveness of the channel as if only by ‘doing’ the digital/social you will generate buzz etc. Following the old spice hugely [...]

NYC miniature magic

The Sandpit from Sam O'Hare on Vimeo. Do yourself a favour and watch it in HD / full screen. It’s oddly mesmerising. If I were photography geek (unfortunately I’m not) i’d have been drooling over the photography porn making-of story Via the rockin BBH-LABS

Asi is for…Awesome Space Island

Super lovely alphabet from Paul Thurlby via the always awesome Charlie

All culture is inherently recombinant etc.

Read it all over at Faris’s, I simply like the work of Ji Lee: “In 1913, Marcel Duchamp took found objects from the streets and placed them in museums. 96 years later, if Duchamp were alive, he may want to do the very opposite”. His google-me business card is full of awesomeness – I want [...]

Whether you need a reassurance in the beauty of the world [...]

Remember cock-a-doodle? or this little gem? and the Pollock of course…well, Fontpark is very much the same – it [...]

Reaction wall

Video reactions are one of the most fascinating things on youtube. It’s a new form of dialouge, self-to-other expression platform which can take many forms and shapes depends on the context. I find this conversational form an anthropological goldmine. One video can spark a vast range of human communicative behaviours, from rant to praise, from [...]

Air Dance Awesomeness

This brilliant NY Air Bear by Joshua Allen Harris reminded me how enchanting (poetic almost) the effect of air on movement can be. There is something incredibly animate in a piece of plastic riding on air. He did a micro zoo about a year ago Who can forget this dreamy scene… This is something i [...]
