• Choi + Shine Architects recently picked up the Boston Society of Architects award for this project re-imagining high voltage pylons. Unfortunately the Icelandic folk who were running the competition in which they were entered didn’t like them enough to run out and build them. I would love to see these carrying the national grid here in NZ, imagine these set against the rugged central plateau landscape.

• This multi-touch DJ interface, a senior degree project from Greg Werk, looks pretty neat. Think he may be overstating the problem a little (given any club worth its salt has gear already – never have I seen a DJ have to do a full gear set up while another plays), but still nice to see people pushing the boundaries a little.

This week saw the teaser for the highly anticipated Life Cycles hit the web. Billed as a whole new kind of mountain bike film (not a bike movie, a movie about a bike – big difference apparently), this trailer certainly makes is look like they are going to deliver on the hype. Ignore the slightly odd choice of still frame below (flames make it look like one of the Kranked series circa 2002, but the rest of the trailer is nothing like that) and give the teaser a hoon in full screen glory.

The team at Spoke Magazine are going to be hosting the NZ premier sometime soon. This looks like it is going to be one to check out whether you ride or not.

You can also whet your appetite with a few other other little teaser shots from the film over at the Life Cycles site.

• The Yes Men have released a special peer to peer edition of their latest film ‘The Yes Men Fix the World’. It includes a deleted scene from the full release (something about them being sued over it). Download it and flick them some cash to help them out with their next crazy project, it will be money well spent.
• Watching this video of Paul Basagoitia ripping his back yard as we tripped around Canada got me pretty pumped up (and also wondering how feasible it would be for me to buy a house with a good chunk of land attached). Also of interest, Trent Palmer shot this using a Canon 7D mounted on a radio control helicopter. How cool is that!

• Pilot Magazine is without doubt the hottest print publication here in NZ right now. They also run a great little blog that is worth keeping an eye on in between the visual feast that is each of their issues (if you can, get hold of a copy of their latest issue). Apparently it is temporary and a ‘real’ site is coming… If that is the case then I can’t wait to see what they have in store.
• How to Write an Advertising Manifesto (aka The Manifesto Manifesto) is an outstandingly astute and witty observation from Kim Mok.
  
  I have to admit though, I do still really want to write a manifesto at some point. The point at which I feel strongly enough about something to write a manifesto about it. Just the word manifesto gets me all fired up. (via Fishing for bats)
• Beautiful print from Anthony Burrill for the intriguing ‘Do Lectures‘ which I would be all over if I was in the UK. Might have to just buy myself a print in the mean time.
  
• Diesel’s new ‘Be Stupid’ campaign includes some of the freshest work I have seen in a while. Up until now the stuff I have seen has mainly been clever copy & killer photography, but they took it experiential with Diesel Facepark, Facebook in the real world. Why? Apparently digital is smart and analogue is stupid, and Diesel says be stupid.

Apparently I am a little late to the party with this one. Better late than never. Besides, I figured some of you might have missed the boat too (yes, I am mixing metaphors, what are you going to do about it?).

I have just discovered Pogo. Pogo is a young dude based in Perth (we wont hold that against him), making incredible video/musical compositions by sampling old movies. He first blew up with ‘Alice’, a track and accompanying video produced entirely from samples from Alice in Wonderland.

That was until until now. His newest production, ‘Gardyn’, was a gift for his mother on mothers day, made entirely from footage that he shot in his mothers back garden. It even includes vocal samples from a little interview he did with her. You can get the full story behind the track over on his blog.

He was also been commissioned to do one a track for Disney film Up, and even a TV/Cinema commercial for Honda (which unfortunately never came to fruition).

His tracks stand alone quite well, but when combined with his visual samples they are truly amazing. Check them out for yourself:

If you dig those, there are also a few more over on his YouTube channel.

You can also download a whole lot of his tracks for free over at last.fm.

• The Big Caption is a complement to (Boston.com’s always amazing) The Big Picture, wherein jokes and statements are made using typography. For example:
  
• Incredible title sequence for the Typophile Film Festival 5. Amazingly this is all real, no CG what-so-ever. You can get the full story behind it here.

• While we are on the subject of typography, Typography for Lawyers looks like a great practical guide for non-desingny folk who want to make their long written documents look swish.
• Some great desktop wallpaper for bike lovers like me from Jennifer Daniel.
  
• The Radio 1 Essential Mix is an institution. Over time they have basically hosted every major DJ there has ever been. Now you can listen to and rate (almost) every Essential Mix since 1993 online, anytime at essentialmixes.net. An amazing archive of recent electronic music history. Great for folks like me out in the colonies.
• Diplo & Switch (aka Major Lazer) team up with La Roux to deliver the massive (free!) Lazerproof mixtape. It is a pretty crazy experiment, as you would expect, and well worth a listen.
• Nike (& Weiden+Kennedy London) brilliantly illustrate that if you make amazing, remarkable content then there is no need to buy any media (even though I am sure there is a large accompanying media buy for this one content, you know, just to make sure). This content was run in the seperate vignettes over 3 consecutive nights in the sports news segment of our national television news here in New Zealand (I am sure we weren’t the only country), as well as clocking up untold views across the web. Powerful stuff. (Of course it helps if you have a budget of 5 trillion dollars to produce said content).
  
• A couple of tumblr’s I stumbled across to keep you amused: Micheal Buble being stalked by a Veliciraptor & White People Throwing Gang Signs. Hours of entertainment. Word.
• Came across a couple of great recruitment ideas recently. Check out ‘Comic Sans Destroyer‘ for a great little recruitment campaign for agency Happiness Brussels (who wouldn’t want to work at a place called Happiness?!).
• And for some creative job seeking you can’t really go past Alec Brownstein’s fantastically clever Google Job Experiment. Kudos also to the creative directors who weren’t too embarrassed to get in touch and try to hire this guy.
  
• Need a great example of a brand building an immersive experience? How about the Pantone Hotel? It is part fo their new ‘Pantone Universe’, a collection of “colourful, design driven” products from the world authority on colour communication. Not sure about the Universe, but the Hotel looks pretty awesome.

• I am mildly obsessed with Kingswood Skis right now. Handmade in Lyttleton (a tiny little seaside village here in New Zealand), they look incredible. I am definitely lusting after a pair. Check out this great video of the ski making process from start to finish:
  
• In more amazing handmade in New Zealand, check out Rob’s Woodgrain Bikes. Rob will hand paint your frame in one of three different beautiful woodgrain finishes right here in Auckland, New Zealand for the princely sum of $1500USD. Expensive, but man are they beautiful.

This video is awesome. It is an animated version of a talk given by Dan Pink, the author of Drive: The surprising truth about what motivates us. Watch it, then share it with anyone who will listen, particularly your boss (they should definitely listen).

There are also a whole lot more great videos (including more of the RSA Animate series) over at the RSA (Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce) YouTube Channel .

Tyler Thompson got sick of looking at ugly, confusing boarding passes, so he had a go at redesigning them. He also put the call out for others to do the same. The results are excellent, hopefully the airlines are listening (although our own Air New Zealand actually does a reasonable job in comparison to the Delta one that Tyler started with)

It is also well worth checking out Dustin Curtis’s well thought out redesign of the American Airlines homepage that was part inspiration for Tyler’s efforts.

It has been around for a while now, but Slinkachu’s Little People Project is rad. It must be incredible coming across one of his installations “in the wild”.
