Strandbeest walking ... Amazing job! "No pollen or seeds but plastic yellow tubes are used as the basic material of this new nature. I make skeletons that are able to walk on the wind, so they don't have to eat..." By Theo Jansen.

The POWA ‘Neighborhood Experiment’
Tweet
The POWA ‘Neighborhood Experiment’ PSA in South Africa is a powerful and disturbing one. The ad begins with a man playing drums in his home late at night. Of course, he gets several complaints from neighbors claiming that the noise is too loud.
The following night the same man turns on his laptop and plays a prerecorded track of a couple having an argument, and of a woman later getting beaten. The shocking part is that nobody comes to the door to inquire on what’s going on. The POWA ‘Neighborhood Experiment’ ad is a powerful commercial about the realities of domestic abuse.

Salvation Army - Fretex "Surprise Catwalk"
Tweet
This outstanding ambient execution from Kitchen/Oslo was created on behalf of Fretex, to communicate how second hand clothing will soon be part of the Salvation Army's fashion line. This "surprise" catwalk happened during Oslo fashion week, and highlighted how the clothes people wear will be fashionable once again, once they find their way to the shelves of Fretex. I love this!!

Must See: BMW - Flash Projection
Tweet
The first cinema commercial that doesn’t use a directly visible logo. During an exciting Superbike commercial we illuminated the BMW logo with a harmless photo flash onto the audience`s eyes. When the audience was asked to close their eyes at the end of the ad, they were surprised to see the BMW logo as an afterimage. BMW literally got inside people’s heads – involving them instead of boring them.

I Hope This Gets To You
Tweet
"After my girlfriend moved away for graduate school, I wanted to create something different to express my feelings for her. I secretly created a song and video with my friends the Daylights in hopes that it would be passed around and get to her organically. WITH YOUR HELP, we can meet this goal and it can stand as a symbol of what we can do as an digital social community. This is dedicated to anyone who is separated from people they love."
