"The design of this movie identity was approached in a  more semantically and less chatty way, based on the overall feel of the film rather than a snapshot (highlight). The typographic style that is followed is absolute and solid because it works like reflection of the intense dialogues of actors."

Megaphone by Moment Factory, is an urban art installation about reappropriating public space, that gives everyone an opportunity to join in on the discussion. As participants speak, their words are transformed, in real time, into images projected onto the façade of the University of Quebec in Montreal, leaving their visual "footprint" on the urban landscape.

Inspired by the city's early 20th-century history of popular assemblies as well as the 19th-century British tradition of the Speaker's Corner, the installation gives everyone a chance to speak out and air their concerns. Megaphone is presented by the National Film Board of Canada and Quartier des spectacles, created by Moment Factory and staged by Etienne Paquette.

Magnetic field record by Kouichi Okamoto is a device that artfully records magnetism and gravity, while hung from the ceiling. Its movement is created by a compass and a container with chinese ink.

As the liquid falls, the dropper becomes lighter and it moves gradually to the center and the horizontally extended magnet is pulled by the magnetism of the earth, and repeats an inversed motion.

O/O Brewing is a recently founded micro-brewery, built upon a foundation of many years of home brewing. Lundgren+Lindqvist created O/O's branding and packaging.

"The logotype was inspired by brewmaster Olle Andersson's peculiar glasses, his characteristic appearance having become somewhat synonymous with the brand."

Moment Factory was commissioned by Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) to work in collaboration with Marcela Sardi of Sardi Design and Mike Rubin of MRA International as the executive multimedia content producer for seven iconic media features at the New Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT) at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

The objective of the installation is to enhance the passenger experience and bring back the romance and magic of travel.  The Moment Factory team created four hours of original video content, as well as multiple interactive capsules, using the latest in high-resolution imaging, 3D effects and even technologies that react directly to people's movements and real-time airport information. The result is the largest immersive multimedia system of any airport in the Americas.

Zoe Hatziyannaki's diptych series Secrets & Crises, portray public buildings in Athens, Greece, juxtaposed with enlarged window details taken from the buildings' photographs.

"The juxtapositions of the two images seek to suggest the questionable role of the State and its institutions today in Greece. A role which is seriously disputed under the current crisis. The depiction of the buildings aims to offer an as much as possible detached view, as if it was forming a kind of (ironic) architectural typology. Yet the blown-up, poor quality images of the windows on the right play a disturbing role suggesting something is hidden and unclear -in their effort to scrutinize the rather 'innocent' image of the building on the left in order to find evidence of what or who is to blame- however without really revealing anything (an idea referring to the park photograph in M.Antonioni 's 'Blow-Up', 1966). Hinting that the lives of those buildings are not so organized and tidy after all, that they have secrets and obscure operations, which even though more or less everybody share, there is always a vagueness about them, responsible for generating feelings of frustration and fear which are met at present in Greece."

Secrets & Crises is now exhibited in Ileana Tounta Contemporary Art Center (from 29 May to 15 June).
