The Wilderness Downtown

The Wilderness Downtown

In association with Google Chrome, Chris Milk just released an interactive experience called The Wilderness Downtown. The video, which showcases Arcade Fire’s We Used to Wait, explores new functionality within HTML5 and shows how Google Chrome is pushing the limits. It’s a great example of interactivity that connects meaningful media and personalized content.

I’m Wearing My Fur Pyjamas

David Byrne unleashed a unique genius in True Stories, and with other entries, like Stop Making Sense, he cemented himself as an incredible creative, transforming nerd rock into an unstoppable force. (Where would Weezer be without Byrne?)

Hillman Curtis, graphic designer turned digital filmmaker, recently finished a new documentary film with Byrne, called Ride, Rise, Roar. Can’t wait to see what they’ve cooked up.

Robin and Lucienne Day

Alissa Walker, of Gelato Baby, wants you to tune into a new documentary about Robin and Lucienne Day (think Charles and Ray Eames with better tea). This design duo is credited with revitalizing the British design scene after WWII.
