GPS chairs tell a story in NYC

Blu Dot inspired by the furniture finding scene of NYC (called ‘curb mining’). Dropped 25 Real Good Chairs in NYC to see what would happen. This video is what they discovered. When I first moved to Bondi collecting furniture from the street was the only way I could furnish my place. You’d see me carrying random [...]

64 red bulls & 9 gallons of coffee

The making of Telematics City by Hook. Is a data visualization trip through the creation of a 3d city, from app to wireframe, to render and fly-through – featuring 1200 buildings.

Light playing with sparklers

Like writing your name in lights, well kind of, you know when you grab a sparkler and frantically shift it around until your message is scared on your retina? Well here is a movie dedicated to that pastime. With the amount of views its received it would seem I’m a bit slow in discovering it. [...]

It [the music video] features [...]

Can your phone do this? Talk to me… so if the iPhone wasn’t hacked, cracked and genuinely pushed beyond the realms of its supposed purpose in life – this couldn’t of happened.
