by
Gregory Mitnick

For CH’s second video documenting our recent 99% Conference, we check in with Google Creative Labs’ Creative Director Ji Lee to find out how personal and professional work relate. We get a taste of his famed Bubble Project and what makes one of the most subversive minds in the corporate world tick.

Come a long way, kinda

Check out this “record player” iPhone app. The author, Theodore Watson, threw it together in one morning. I really like projects that get the point across quickly. It’s a build-to-think mode and sparks dialogue (like this blog post) that gets people thinking about how to use what’s around them.

Paper animations and photography have really blown up lately. Kelly’s definitely not the first to explore this area, but he’s still doing some really interesting work (particularly liking his more recent ‘Democracy’ and ‘The Seed’). There’s an interview up on Don’t Panic, check his site to see more.

Carousel mini-movie from Philips

This image has no alt text

Philips is creating some pretty trippy, unique, cinematic mini movies to promote their various products. It seems to be working – look at me wanting to show you these, they are very nice. Watch an online mini movie to promote “real cinema experience at home with state of the art picture and sound quality in all Philips TV ranges”.

This two and a half minute stop-motion animation takes you back to the excessive building during the realestate boom to the eventual crash of the housing market.

“The video was meant to illustrate the cyclical nature of the economy,” explains Winkelmann, “which at its root is fueled by an insatiable push for ‘more, bigger, better,’ until it becomes no longer sustainable, and the bubble bursts—as we have recently seen.”

Mike Winkelmann, aka Beeple will be showing his film Simple Extraction at the Dead/Live Video Festival as part of the Boston Cyber Arts Festival May 2nd at the Massachusets College of Art.
