The single greatest threat to the climate comes from burning coal but despite this a whole new fleet of dirty coal-fired power stations are on the verge of being built in the UK (the first for 30 years). The snow globe was designed for Ctrl.Alt.Shift in anticipation of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009.

Natasha Goulbourn Foundation - Moody Watch

2012-05-24T15:42:00.000+01:00

To address depression issues that 4.5million Filipinos face, Campaigns & Grey partnered with the Natasha Goulbourn Foundation (NGF), an establishment to promote awareness and better understanding of depression as a medical condition, for this campaign. The main objective of this campaign was to raise funds to support the Foundation’s advocacy, information, education and communication (IEC) program. To be current and appealing, Campaigns & Grey’s design abides by today’s minimalist fashion with merely a subtle reference to our advocacy. The agency collaborated with watchmaker, Happy Hour, on a design that is intended to lift the spirits of both wearer and spectator. The face of the timepiece features literally, a human face with two dots for eyes and hour/minute hands transforming into a smile or frown.

MonmouthpediA Town.

2012-05-22T09:29:00.000+01:00

"Monmouthpedia is the first Wikipedia project to cover a whole town-specifically, the Welsh town of Monmouth. The project aims to cover every single notable place, person, artefact, plant, animal and other things in Monmouth in as many languages as possible, but with a special focus on Welsh. This is a different scale of wiki-project. The project is jointly funded by Monmouthshire County Council and Wikimedia UK, Monmouthshire County Council intend to install free town wide Wi-Fi for the project. Monmouthpedia uses QRpedia codes, a type of bar code a smartphone can read through its camera (using one of the many free QR readers available) that takes you to a Wikipedia article in your language. QR codes are extremely useful, as physical signs have no way of displaying the same amount of information and in a potentially huge number of languages.
Articles have coordinates (geotags) to allow a virtual tour of the town using Wikipedia's mobile apps (or the Wikipedia layer on Google Streetview) and are available in augmented reality software including Layar."

Christian Popsicles

2012-05-18T13:41:00.000+01:00

"In the past years America has appeared to suffer a historical regression becoming more politically and religiously extremist than previous decades. The current religious fanatic groups although deemed potentially violent, are dismissed due to the current focus on religious fundamentals from the Middle East. While fighting the War on Terror, we forget that only a few decades ago, groups like the Ku Klux Klan, where a functioning, dominant political force in American society. The Klan much like other extremists identified themselves as a Christian organization, carrying out ‘God’s work’ branding the Flaming Cross as their symbol during their reign of terror. Today the Klan is long gone; nevertheless extreme religious and political groups continue to hold a dangerous and growing influence over American politics. The current culture of fear, rage and religious fanaticism demands that today’s politicians drink the Kool-Aid, publicly profess their faith in God and promise to enforce laws that defend the ideology of the Bible and the Christian Faith over individual liberties. "

Modern Fossils by Christopher Locke

2012-05-17T11:11:00.001+01:00

"These are modern fossils. They are made from actual archaic technology that was once cutting-edge. Most of these examples were discovered in the United States, although the various species are represented all over the world. It is sad, but most of these units lived very short lives. Most people attribute the shortened lifespan to aggressive predators or accelerated evolution, but this is not necessarily true. It has been shown recently that the true demise of most of these specimens came from runaway consumerism and wastefulness at the high end of the food chain."

Bregenz Festival - "A Masked Ball".

2012-05-16T12:32:00.000+01:00

Verdi's A Masked Ball, directed by Richard Jones and Antony MacDonald, was produced in 1999 on the Lake for the first time in the history of the Bregenz Festival. The opera, which unites antitheses like Dance and Death, was staged so spectacularly at Bregenz that pictures of it went round the world in the summer of 1999.

Biancoshock - "experiences"

2012-05-15T11:53:00.000+01:00

"When I first read on the newspapers that drawing dumb robots on walls was the same as being a contemporary Giotto, I fully understood how far Biancoshock fell from being an artist.

And further still, from being a street artist.

My "experiences" are not showcases to promote my activities, they do not require any description and they are NOT artworks: they are simply opportunities to communicate and provoke reactions from common people. I'm talking about all those who, although with little or any artistic education, still want to be surprised and moved by something that was left on the street for all to see."

Think Invisible

2012-05-11T11:10:00.002+01:00

How can you see anything that isn’t there actually?

It is the core question of Think Invisible. Circles give deficient contour of the pictures - that’s the simple method how we make hundred-times-seen pictures interesting again.

It is not the magic that lets you recognize the whole design, but your mind.
This tricky illusion of the contours intentionally shows important details, and hides all the rest. Since what matters is invisible.

Subway Children’s Obesity Awareness - #Ambient.

2012-05-10T10:49:00.001+01:00

In order to dramatize the bad eating habits instilled in children, we designed child - shaped trash cans and placed them in shopping malls' food courts across 10 cities. The "boy" and "girl" were also placed in parks, schools, and high traffic streets. A child - shaped garbage truck also drove across 55 cities in Puerto Rico.

The message: " Feed them better. Subway"

Shark-finning sundial

2012-05-07T11:35:00.001+01:00

Over 73 million sharks are killed for their fins every year, primarily for use in shark-fin soup.

South Africa is a major centre for the shark fin trade. The Endangered Wildlife Trust and Sharklife Conservation Group joined forces to bring shark-finning front of mind for South Africans. A limited budget and the prevalence of other equally deserving conservation campaigns were seen as barriers.

We produced unconventional sundials, using a fin’s shadow to count the number of sharks slaughtered every hour. These sundials were placed in busy public spaces across the country and an SMS mechanic allowed people to quickly and easily donate to the cause.

IKEA - Who said a bathroom should be just a loo? #ambient

2012-05-04T11:11:00.001+01:00

"For the first time, IKEA Italy decided to advertise their bathroom collection. The aim was to get the people into the stores. We did the opposite. We brought an IKEA bathroom to the people.

During the world's most important design expo, The Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan, we've hidden a 20 mq IKEA bathroom inside the worst place in the world: a chemical toilet.

When people discovered it they got crazy."
