Viral of the day. IBM - A Boy And His Atom: The World's Smallest Movie.

You're about to see the movie that holds the Guinness World Records™ record for the World's Smallest Stop-Motion Film (see how it was made at http://youtu.be/xA4QWwaweWA). The ability to move single atoms — the smallest particles of any element in the universe — is crucial to IBM's research in the field of atomic memory. But even nanophysicists need to have a little fun. In that spirit, IBM researchers used a scanning tunneling microscope to move thousands of carbon monoxide molecules (two atoms stacked on top of each other), all in pursuit of making a movie so small it can be seen only when you magnify it 100 million times. A movie made with atoms. Learn more about atomic memory, data storage and big data at http://www.ibm.com/madewithatoms

How did IBM researchers move all those atoms to make the world's smallest movie? This short behind-the-scenes documentary takes you inside the lab. Meet the scientists, see how they made a movie with atoms, and find out more about their research in the field of atomic memory and data storage. See the world's smallest movie at http://youtu.be/oSCX78-8-q0. Learn more about atomic memory, data storage and big data athttp://www.ibm.com/madewithatoms

Neon Neon (Gruff Rhys and Boom Bip) present 'Praxis Makes Perfect' - a conceptual power pop tour de force inspired by the colourful life of maverick Italian publisher Giagiacomo Feltrinelli.

Born in to one of Italy’s wealthiest families, Feltrinelli was a left-wing political activist and published some of the greatest literary works of the 20th century, including 'The Leopard' and 'Doctor Zhivago'. He died in highly suspicious circumstances in 1972.

'Praxis Makes Perfect' features Sabrina Salerno, Asia Argento, Cate Le Bon, Josh Klinghoffer and follows Neon Neon’s 2008, Mercury-shortlisted debut 'Stainless Style'; a concept album based on the life of colourful motoring mogul John DeLorean.

Gruff Rhys and Boom Bip have also teamed up with playwright Tim Price, director Wils Wilson and National Theatre Wales to create unique Neon Neon live performances.

'Praxis Makes Perfect' LIVE in Cardiff - Saturday 4 May - with National Theatre Wales - For tickets and more information visit:goo.gl/tX5zn

Automotive ad of the day. Roam Free - Land Rover.

via www.adweek.com


Y&R New York teams with director Noam Murro to capture the essence of Land Rover's go-anywhere-do-anything feeling of freedom and premium all-terrain capability. Rather than relying on typical car commercial devices, the idea was to convey the sense of effortless movement through one's environs. And so, we turned to four experts in the emerging sport of outdoor free-running to help embody the vehicle and capture that feeling on film in a suitably stunning and beautiful way.
