adidas FLASH in creativity

I am happy to report that the site I just launched for adidas Originals FW08 (see earlier post), was recognized by creativity online.

Being a little vain, I clicked on my own name in the credits list and was pleased to see a couple of my other projects listed there as well.

Finally got the film processed from Italy. This is the first roll of film I have shot in about 2 years. Thanks to Lyall for the inspiration.

I think the shot came out pretty good.

adidas Originals FLASH

admin — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 16:46:27 +0000

For the adidas Originals FW08 collection, we wanted to build an experience around the sensation of waiting for your camera’s flash to become ready while you are attempting to capture a moment with your camera. The user voyeuristically watches action unfold in front of them though a camera viewfinder. The user has to time a click to capture the action at moment it occurs.

When the user clicks to capture the action, their flash pops, and they are transported into a moment where time has distorted, and the flash firing off and the action are dramatically stretched out into a surreal moment. The users then saves their capture into the online catalogue, and their interaction with the site has contributed to the experience of viewing the product.

It’s a visceral experience, that needs little intellectual or time commitment from the user.

A couple friends of mine from SF (Rebar) are participating in the Experimenta Design Amsterdam exhibition this weekend being held on the IJ.

They have created some wild modular, inflatable, hot pink, star shaped outdoor furniture designed in collaboration with Droog Design. It is called a BUSHWAFFLE. It softens the hard, linear urban cityscape and provides new opportunities for social play.

REBAR, Droog Design and ExperimentaDesign Amsterdam are pleased to invite you to the opening of Droog Event 2: Urban Play. REBAR will be distributing individual BUSHWAFFLE to all participants, free of charge.

JOIN San Francisco-based art collective REBAR on an expedition through Amsterdam’s public spaces, to unleash BUSHWAFFLE.
