Playing the City

Schirm Kunsthalle was nominated in the Art category for the Webby Awards this year for their creative and interactive campaign. Combining art, play, and social media, they turned the city into one big playground. We like! Read all about the campaign

Happy Birthday Flash Mob

This is a brilliant happening, created by our friends in Kadaver (in Danish) – another Copenhagen-based agency. The boys at Kadaver are a creative, talented and fun-loving bunch, and they have experienced great succes with their campaign for the local bus company Arriva, “Bedre Bustur” (Better Busride). This was a surprise birthday celebration for one [...]

Run, London, run!

We love it when games and reality intertwine, a.k.a. ARG – Alterternate Reality Games. It’s a great way of interacting with your environment and the people around you in a fun and exciting way, creating different and often challenging experiences.

Come on everybody, let’s Pong!

This has got to be the coolest idea ever. Experience expert and innovation catalyst, David Polinchock, made this project while at the Brand Experience Lab. He’s been in the experience game since ’91 so he’s been around the block more than once – also, he an ex-Disney character. In Disneyland, that is. We love this [...]

Last Call

Have you always loved the thrill of a good horror film? Enjoyed the rush of adrenalin, as the characters run across the screen in panic, fearing for their lives? But also breathed a sigh of relief upon leaving the cinema, knowing that after all, it was just a film… Then you won’t like this. Last [...]

Modern classics

The ever lovely LauraJul – Copenhagen’s “man about town”, or rather woman about the web – has found these awesome creations of art with a surprising use of materials. Thumbs up to the artists! And thanks to Laura for the hint: Brilliant push pin artist Eric Daigh and staple artist Baptiste Debombourg. (From LauraJul via [...]

Another (Lego)brick in the wall
