Future Lions 2013. The Winners.

awaken by Amazon - Future Lions 2013 from Tatsuki Tatara on Vimeo.

This video is Future Lions 2013 winner.
There are about 780,000,000 people who can't read or write in the world and people in india accounts for most of them. Amazon saw an opportunity to help solve this problem by entering into the market in India.
The solution is: Awaken by Amazon.
Amazon will collect the books that go unused in developed countries by asking their customers to send them using a box that was sent with purchased items, and then send those books to developing countries with Amazon lables attached. Amazon doesn't waste any books. Books that are left untouched awaken to bring enjoyment once again to many people around the world. Through this project, we can help improve India's literacy and the idea of 'books equal Amazon' will be passed onto new generations.

Experiment of the day. The Beck's Edison Bottle.

The Beck's Edison Bottle from Shine Limited on Vimeo.

The first playable beer.

19th Century technology meets 21st Century music over a bottle of beer in the latest extension to the Beck’s Record Label project.

This time, the art label has evolved, and been replaced by the grooves of Auckland band Ghost Wave. Their new single was inscribed into the surface of a Beck’s beer bottle which could then be played on a specially-built device based on Thomas Edison’s original cylindrical phonograph.

Making the world’s first playable beer bottle was a formidable technical challenge. The clever people at Auckland firm Gyro Constructivists first had to design and build a record-cutting lathe, driven by a hard drive recording head. Then they reinvented Edison’s original cylinder player, using modern materials and electronics and built to very fine tolerances.

The Edison Bottle made its public debut at SemiPermanent in Auckland in May to a standing ovation from the assembled media and design community.
Semi Permanent Launch video: on.fb.me/1a5J3ct

Beck’s has had a long association with music and art. In fact, at about the same time Heinrich Beck was brewing his first beer in the 1870s, Tom Edison was tinkering away on designs for the first phonograph.

Considering how beer has influenced recorded music since then, this physical collaboration was very appropriate and long overdue.
