A collection of inspirational stuff, that tickles my funny bone, makes me happy, makes me think, makes me horny etc...
In other words these are all mak-nificent to me.

One of the newest challenges in digital is the potential to pull real life emotion and feelings into our campaigns. But how do you really do that? How is it represented? You’ll probably remember seeing the Kraft Smile Tagging App, or the Prigat real time smile stations and Unilever’s Smile Activated Ice Cream from Cannes… But here is a real time version, measuring the mood an entire city.

The Feel-O-Meter is created via cameras placed around Berlin, streaming footage back to a facial recognition system that detects the mood of people walking around the city in real time, with that feed then controling a huge face atop a lighthouse. Now just add a live feed from twitter!

“Cloud Cities” installation by Thomás Sarceno. Installed inside an old train station, and is now a contemporary art museum in Berlin, the immersive and surprising work combines ideas about bubbles and spider webs in ways that seem oddly reconciled within the former concourse. Even though the installation is very real (you can go and visit the bubbles, even poke around inside a few if you’d like) there is something about all of it that seems so far removed from reality. Maybe not surprising since the curatorial text describes an exhibition that will “shatter traditional concepts relating to place, time, gravity and traditional ideas as to what constitutes architecture.” Even untraditional ideas about what constitutes architecture are probably challenged by this installation, assuming it’s architectural enough to do so.

“Before I die”, is a social art installation by Candy Chang. She turned the side of an abandoned house in her neighborhood ( New Orleans) into a giant chalkboard where residents can fill in the blank and remember what is important to them in life. It’s also about turning a neglected space into a constructive one where we can learn the hopes and aspirations of the people around us.
