Bird's Music
When brasilian musician and director Jarbas Agnelli saw this picture from birds resting on electric wires the image brought him the typical comparison with a partiture. But he went a step further and asked himself, what would happen if I try to read it as conventional music notation?
The result is this shortfilm with music composed... by the own birds.

Apparati Efimeri
Tetragram for Enlargement
Another nice example of architecture intervention by means of projection. This kind of mix between architecture and performance, whether using LEDs, sounds, lasers, holographs, etc. is the most evident example of an entire new discipline:
liquid architecture, "an architecture whose form is contingent on the interests of the beholder. (...) Liquid architecture makes liquid cities, cities that change at the shift of a value, where visitors with different backgrounds see different landmarks, where neighborhoods vary with ideas held in common, and evolve as the ideas mature or dissolve." (Marcos Novak)

Liquid Arquitecture ::: 555 KUBIK
The conception of this project consistently derives from its underlying architecture, the Hamburg Kunsthalle. The Basic idea of narration was to dissolve and break through the strict architecture of O. M. Ungers "Galerie der Gegenwart". Resultant permeabilty of the solid facade uncovers different interpretations of conception, geometry and aesthetics expressed through graphics and movement.
Drawing a Song
The agency Herraiz & Soto has created a gorgeous interactive videoclip for the band Labuat. The idea is so simple as beautiful: the user draws a line with a chinese-style brush stroke that synchronizes with the music and the mouse movements, all peppered with some nice animations triggered at predefined timestamps in the song.

Coraline
Directed by Henry Selick, the real director of The Nightmare Before Christmas, and based on a children's book by Neil Gaiman, Coraline combines stop-motion techniques with 3D to recreate a nightmarish fairytale. A modern and gothic version of Alice in Wonderland with a mystery mirror world housing some not-so-friendly creatures, the story becomes a cautionary tale of the classic "Be careful of what you wish..."
Visually though, the film is quite something. Apparently everything on screen was made by hand, painted by hand and shot with a camera. Anyway, which part was made by hand and which part is 3D doesn't matter as long as the final result is visually so appealing as in this case.

Love distance
Traditionally, condom ads rely on more or less gross jokes, hyperboles, they search the "shock & awe" effect, we could say. But this spot winned a Cannes Gold with a nice straightforward idea and big amounts of sensibility (no pun intended)...

When photography was a ceremony...
Since 1960, Malick Sidibé (Mali, 1936) has produced photographs in his studio, Studio Malick, located in Bamako. These images with their pure gaze document popular culture in his city. A vast majority of the photos he took during the 1970s ended up generating an extensive catalog of urban characters and types, the result of working with a sincere documentary approach without hang-ups of feeling superior to them. As a result, Sidibé has achieved producing photographs far removed from the prejudices of a Western gaze cast upon other cultures.
PHE- Today you’re a renowned photographer, and your photos have traveled all over the world. How did you start out in photography?
Malick Sidibé- I studied at the school of arts because I liked to draw. Then I began in photography by working with a French photographer in 1957. At the time, I was the youngest photographer in the city.
Luckily, I was the only one who had a flash, so I began to take photographs of parties at night. I was at the studio until midnight or one in the morning until I went out to take photos at parties. I would go back to my studio, develop the film, and on Mondays and Tuesdays I would hang the photos in my shop so young people could come and choose the ones they liked the most...
