Kurt Vonnegut on the Shapes of Stories

This stuff doesn't get old

Michael Imperioli for 1800 Tequila

I don't drink alcohol, and I've still never seen an episode of the Sopranos (I know, I know). But I love these commercials with Michael Imperioli for 1800 Tequila.

Near Perfect Reflection

Perspective and pretense.

Andreas Gursky

The first Gursky I ever saw was 99 Cents in the MoMA. Kind of like Palla, but without the manipulation. Agoraphobes beware.

Lordy Rodriguez

I first learned of Lordy Rodriguez years ago through my art director partner, Corey Ciszek. He creates these mash-up maps that aren't really of anywhere. The link to Lordy at the Austin Museum of Art is here.

Time Lapse of the Milky Way

The Mountain from Terje Sorgjerd on Vimeo.

Great stuff. Wish Sorgjerd would have held on a few of these scenes for 30 seconds longer, though.

Atlas Shrugged

Clip from Atlas Shrugged. No academy awards for acting, but still enjoyed it. Big fan of Dagny.

mta.me

Conductor: www.mta.me from Alexander Chen on Vimeo.

At www.mta.me, Conductor turns the New York subway system into an interactive string instrument. Using the MTA’s actual subway schedule, the piece begins in realtime by spawning trains which departed in the last minute, then continues accelerating through a 24 hour loop. The visuals are based on Massimo Vignelli’s 1972 diagram.

Missile Silo Condos

I wish I'd had this idea. Covered in Wired magazine and here. Larry Hall's Survival Condo homepage is here.

Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers

I've always been a fan of Steve Martin. He's a stand-up comedian, actor, playwrite, musician, and author.  His latest album Rare Bird Alert is fantastic. I love Paul McCartney's appearance on "Best Love," and "Women Like to Slow Dance" is hilarious.

American Eagle display in Times Square

I'm working on a project that will appear on this outdoor display in Times Square. This ad for Mary Poppins is one of the best examples I've found.
