Uniqlo Mixplay
New from agency Projector Japan (-who picked up every possible digital award with Uniqlock) for clothing-brand Uniqlo comes the Mixplay sequencer.
Its the kind of thing that’s just nice to fiddle with. Super execution, too.
Just select drums, bass, and off you go, yo.
Cong Cannes Cyberlions 2008
Kong were nominated (twice) for a Cannes Cyberlion this year so here I am in the Palais awaiting the ceremony to kick off… good vibes. Steep balconies, too.
Citroen Psychological Unsubscribing Warfare
Somehow Citroen decided to start sending me newsletters, which i’m not really interested in so I decided to unsubscribe. I hesitated when I saw the picture of this sad looking woman though - but decided to stand by my decision.
GTA IV Bringing Back Memories
Played a bit of GTA IV tonight with my friend Otto driving around Liberty City beating up people, trying out different cars, checking out the various radiochannels and enjoying vintage pop like Godley & Creme’s ‘Cry’ from 1984.
Classic.

A Refreshing Racing Experience On Xbox 360
GRID is a race simulation that combines official circuit-based championships with road races and urban street competitions.
Besides doing the rounds and (trying to) finish first I really enjoyed driving the wrong direction and causing huge crashes, which is really darn realistic in this game. It also gives you the possibility to playback crashes in slomo, scrubbing style, which is nice. As IGN puts it: ‘Grid stands out as a stylish but serious alternative to both hardcore driving simulations and over-the-top arcade racers’.
Chris Bangle on Shapeshifting BMW
Bayerische Motoren Werke’s new concept car GINA is made from fabric and it’s body morphs to open it’s lights and doors. Here chief designer Chris Bangle gives a first impression of the ideas behind the process of sculpturing an experimental study. Its allover the internets - so its a good viral, too.
Phrasebook for Footballers’ Wives
At Kong we often work on projects that take a while to see the light of day. Or sometimes see the light of day shortly. I guess that’s how this advertising business works sometimes. Makes it extra nice to squeeze something through quickly every now and then. Something small that goes big.
Like the ‘Swiss-German phrasebook for Dutch footballers’ wives‘ we did for the Swiss Tourism Agency & Miljonair Magazine. It plays a new, relevant and handy phrase every day during the Eurocup tournament. For example the letter C is for Chihuahua: ‘Will this bag fit my chihuahua?’
Newsroom ANP picked up the news quickly and in less then a week later most newspapers in Holland and Belgium have mentioned the phrasebook, as well as a few blogs. We also released an english version a few days ago, which turned up on Kickette, which is a blog for… SWAGs, which means Soccer Wives And Girlfriends, in case you wondered ;-)
Update: Apparently Radio 538 has been covering this on a daily basis, too?
Kozyndan @ Maxalot Gallery in Amsterdam
A few weeks ago I was invited to the exhibition opening of artist-duo Kozyndan at the new Maxalot gallery in Amsterdam.
I’ve been meaning to blog about this for weeks now and while looking up photos of the piece above (click to enlarge - its nice) on flickr the first search result I got was a picture with… me in it?
On closer inspection we quite look the arty bunch. Look at all these arms! Posers ;)
Anyway, its a nice exhibition and if you want to visit, you can do so up until June 14th - more info here.
My ‘Things That Look Like Smiley Faces’ Entry
Spotted this ’smiley face’ on the NDSM area in Amsterdam North so took this pic with my Blackberry (it needs a better camera!) and kindly submitted it to the flickr things-that-look-like-smiley-faces pool. Cool.
