Decode: Digital Design Sensations

Spent an afternoon at the V&A this week taking a look at the Decode: Digital Design Sensations exhibtion that is currently on.

Really reminiscent of the early experimental Macromedia Shockwave and Flash work that came out in the 90’s by the likes of Anti-Rom, Joshua Davies (Who exhibits), Tomato, Show Studio etc.

For me the best work was the Processing exhibits, even though it’s been around for a while I think it’s time is coming and it’s gonna really take off. Worth a visit to the V&A go take a look.

Soundville

Juan Cabral CD at Fallon and the creator of the now famous Sony Adverts (think thousands of coloured balls in San Fransico, paint exploding over a Glasgow housing estate and the recent Sony plasticine rabbits in NY) and the hugely popular gorilla advert for Cadbury, gives the lowdown on the making of Sony’s latest commercial Soundville.

Set in Iceland the ad documents three days in the life of the town of Seydisfjordur, after it’s been transformed into a giant soundspeaker system.
