Optical Illusion ads

Speaking of Asia, Stader & Muller’s recently put up a Johnny Walker ad at Warner Village in Taipei, Taiwan. If you know anything about Taiwan, Warner village is sort of the Americanized hangoutspot for shopping and eating (theres an Olive Garden there….which weirded me out enough for me to not want to try it).

The Pulse of Madison Square Park

A stop at Shake Shack [Madison Sq. Park - 24th and Madison] and I came across some two hundred lights all pointed towards the center of the park, strobing. Unfortunately it was not a rave but a new interactive light installation put up. The lights strobe to the pulse of the person holding onto the [...]

Paint your needs

The website is vague on purpose

robin hood…

Steal from the rich, to give to the poor. A nice piece on the streets of Lisbon, Portugal. From the looks of it, no one on the streets really understood the meaning of it. Which i can sympathize with, but clever nonetheless.

Poster Boy

Know who poster boy is? No… probably not, but if you’re in the city you probably have seen his work in action. Some are great, some are just wack, but it definitely has originality and a lot of creativity.
check out what i think is his best…or check out the rest.

kanye style bloggin

James Powder known for his laser “graffiti” arrested in Beijing for attempting to make more ‘art’.
Instead of paint he uses basically projectors to paint on large buildings and places like the brooklyn bridge. Apparently had an exhibit in the MoMa but really..for that? I guess moma standards have lowered.
