Mentos intern
July 24, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Trevor is an intern at Mentos who’s responsible for entertaining visitors to the site. Similar to Dare School and Subservient Chicken, Trevor is online all day reading his messages from users asking him to do requests. This is actually quite addictive and found myself taking advantage of the poor lad for my own entertainment, but I would really recommend you have a look a this.
The Age of Conversation
July 24, 2007 | Leave a Comment
In March of this year, Drew McLellan owner of US agency McLennan Marketing Group posted an experiment on his blog called We Are Smarter Than Me to see whether a large community of business people can jointly author a book of the same name. The book focuses on ways in which companies are learning to leverage social networks and the power of communities to improve their performance by allowing customers or others to take over functions typically performed by experts. Drew received responses from over 100 people ranging from Bloggers to Creative Directors and finally they have produced the finished product entitled “The Age of Conversation”.
Underwater sculpture
July 24, 2007 | Leave a Comment
London artist Jason Taylor has installed a series of his sculptures under the sea off the coast of Grenada. The aim of the sculpture park is to create a unique space which highlights environmental processes and celebrates local culture. The structure will allow soft and hard corals, algae and sponges to colonise creating an artificial reef. Sadly, not many will get to experience it first hand, but there is a video on the site showing this wonderful creation in all it’s glory.
Framed Paintings as Billboards? - ‘The Grand Tour’ Brings Art to the Street
July 24, 2007 | Leave a Comment
London agency, The Partners have developed a rather interesting campaign for The National Gallery entitled `The Grand Tour’. The objective was to bring art to the streets of London in everyday places where people pass by every day to encourage more visitors to the gallery. HP have printed and placed reproductions of classics around areas such as Soho and Covent Garden. By visiting the site, users can see where the pieces have been placed. I haven’t seen any as yet, but I will be heading to Golden Square this week to check out Manet’s `Corner of a Cafe-concert’. Photo by George Stubbs
