PRETTY POLLY BILLBOARD (UK)

The billboard has long been one of the most powerful forms of location advertising. Just think of New York’s Time Square – many a car accident has been caused be motorists loosing concentration because they’re attention has
been captivated by a ten storey high image of Madonna, Kate Moss or Calvin Klein’s latest sex-god male model.

If it hasn’t already caused any accidents we’re predicting that this sexy new billboard ad in the UK for underwear brand Pretty Polly will have cars thumping into each other in no time. The six storey ad features a leggy model wearing a skirt made from real material which, when sent north by the wind reveals her sexy black tights. We love it. by Lisa Evans

400 seconds - 20 images - Design Forum NY

Please read article on link attached.
Pretty cool idea.

Anyone interested in doing something like this in our meetings? It could help us learn more about what intrigues us, inspires us and impacts the way we think and work.

Exerpt from it:
"It's architecture’s version of speed dating. At Pecha Kucha, an event born in Tokyo in 2003 and introduced to New Yorkers in September, architects are allowed 400 seconds to show 20 images of their work. “There’s no saying ‘back’ to the projectionist,” explains Klein Dytham Architecture principal Mark Dytham, who began organizing the events with partner Astrid Klein. Indeed, the projectionist changes the slide every 20 seconds, ready or not."

ham or turkey?

ham is considered the other white, while the traditional turkey is the first white meat. many consider the added benefits of using ham as the first alternative to the turkey for taste as well as the historical probelems of the "dry" turkey that is served - and we dare say - chokes the old granny.

Hard to read the text but could be an interesting application in the right context.

Color in - Color out

72 meter high tower stands at Telefonplan in Stockholm. Half a century ago, it belonged to Ericsson who used it for testing microwave antennas. Today the University College, “Konstfack” has moved to the area and the place is envisioned to be a new creative center for architects, designers and so on.

The windows on the ten floors along the tower body constantly change colour. Anyone can call a number, +46 (70) 57 57 807, and control the colours in the windows of the tower by mixing red, green and blue light with their phone. You can do it on site or by looking at a camera stream on the webpage. It can be seen from quite some distance in every direction.

The developers say that "Besides the aesthetic sides of Colour By Numbers we hope that it can be a contribution to the debate about democracy and public space here in Stockholm."

Colour by Numbers is a collaboration between: Milo Lavén, architect, Erik Krikortz, artist and Loove Broms, interaction designer. Photos by Malin Arnesson.

Anyone out there?

Just trying this out. Who else has gotten on? What is everyone's thoughts on how this is set up? Are we going to continue this or will it not take off, like Shannon brought up in the last meeting regarding other initiatives like this.
I vote to develop it and make it into something great.
