today and tomorrow

So it seems that N*E*R*D isn’t dead afterall, ‘Everyone Nose‘ is their first single of their upcoming album ‘Seeing Sound’. Just turn up the volume!

‘Screwed in Houston’ is a small documentary by VBS.TV about the rap scene in Houston. You better mix yourself some purple drank to go along with the chopped & screwed stuff. Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4 and Part 5.

This is a Light Sculpture by AntiVJ, a visual label. These projections on 3D objects are really neat! It was on display during Transmediale 2007, a festival for art and digital culture in Berlin. The sculpture itself, ‘Halbzeug’, was made by visomat inc. You probably want to check Pablo Valbuena’s work too if you like this.

It’s Friday afternoon, time for some music. Kode9 - 9 Samurai.

The Graffiti Reseach Lab, known for their LED throwies and their Laser Tag, made a DVD of their first Season. The first screening will be this saturday at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. You can attend too, but be quick to get yourself a ticket! More info here, the trailer you can watch here and here you can find the torrent.

Joshua Allen Harris, the artist responsible for those Plastic Bag Animals in New York, has made 2 new ones: the Air Subway Monster and the Air Monkey. I’m quite impressed with their size!

Here is an interview with Karl Lagerfeld about creativity, advertising, brands … . It was recorded last week during the annual Art Directors Club Germany congress in Berlin, so unfortunately it is only in German. He delivers one truth after the other one, it’s really entertaining. Definitely worth watching if you speak some German.

A few weeks ago, Sony had a big commercial shoot in Miami. This time it wasn’t for their Bravia TV’s but for their digital cameras and camcorders. And what did they use … millions of liters of foam. Here you can see some photos.

It reminds me a little of this commercial that Pleix made for them last year.

The ‘Light-Space Modulator‘ is a kinetic sculpture made by László Moholy-Nagy during his Bauhaus time. It is a composition of color, light and movement, his film “Motion picture black-white-grey” shows it in action. You can find more pictures of it in this Flickr set.

Drop it like it’s hot! Dropclock, a 137 MB screensaver! Every minute of real time is numerically expressed with Helvetica Heavy dropping into water in super slow-motion. Nifty!
I don’t understand why you need an $15 license, maybe you get extra options …
