Viral of the day. Facebook | The Things That Connect Us.

"Chairs, doorbells, bridges, airplanes. These are things that people use to get together and connect. Facebook is also something that over a billion people around the world use to connect with one another.http://www.facebook.com/facebook"
Wieden & Kennedy Portland
More info about the campaign here and here

The script:"Chairs. Chairs are made so that people can sit down and take a break. Anyone can sit on a chair and, if the chair is large enough, they can sit down together. And tell jokes. Or make up stories. Or just listen.

Chairs are for people. And that is why chairs are like Facebook.

Doorbells. Airplanes. Bridges. These are things people use to get together, so they can open up and connect about ideas and music and other things that people share.

Dance floors. Basketball. A great nation. A great nation is something people build so they can have a place where they belong.

The Universe. It is vast and dark. And it makes us wonder if we are alone. So maybe the reason we make all of these things is to remind us that we are not."

地下鉄の動態／ハイスイノナサのMVです。2012年5月発売1stアルバム「動物の身体」より。

Each note from the instruments is represented by a geometric shape in the animation; while these shapes move in sync with the song, they also form the parts that create the subway itself.

Political ad of the week. Real Complainers Vote.

One Nation of Complainers, Founded by Malcontents, Indivisible, with Bitching and Bellyaching for All.

via STASH:
"Foundation creative director, Kyle Shoup, enlisted the help of Chicago street artist, Ray Noland, “to set up shop on our stage and create the elements that became the nucleus of a truly engaging mixed-media piece.”

That piece is a whip-smart, good-natured, animated rant about the relationship between voting and complaining."

Music video of the week. Gotye - Somebody That I Used to Know - Old School Computer Remix.

"HP Scanjet 3C as the vocals. It lags a bit due to the fast paced vocals. In order for the stepper motor to play a note it has to be moving and with that large carriage it takes a few milli seconds before it can play a note. It doesn't sound like a lot of time but stretch that over a 4 minute song and voila...out of sync. Programming does help to compensate but it is not perfect.
Amiga 600 Bass on left audio output and Guitar on right audio output
Each audio channel was feed into an oscilloscope
2 Harddrives as the drums and cymbal
Xylophone as the Xylophone (duh) my apologies glockenspiel
Both the Harddrive and Xylophone are controlled by one PIC16F84A mircocontroller

thanks to A1- Electronics Parts (Toronto) for the great deals on all those old parts that are getting harder to find"
