Advertising agency Publicis E-dologic from Israel has come up with a great way to take Facebook and social networking into the real world. By letting visitors to an amusement park wear RFID bracelets, people were able to ‘like’ various attractions using the on-location ‘like machines’ and get automatically tagged in pictures that were uploaded to Facebook.

This is a great way to erase the whole ‘logging on to Facebook and typing’-phase and makes sharing opinions and content much more fun and intuitive. And potentially creates a hell of a lot Facebook spam.

We just launched what is probably the world’s first existentialist Facebook Connect-powered film on the subject of DOUBT. In the video, well-known Danish brain scientist and screen personality Peter Lund Madsen muses on ‘doubt’, bending and twisting the word while gently scolding the Danes for being so overly skeptical about the power of development aid as a means to drive change. To make the pill go down the user is met with fun yet relevant segments based on their Facebook profile and friends.

The film is part of the Verdens Bedste Nyheder campaign (The World’s Greatest News) explaining to Danes how millions and millions of people in the developing world have gained access to schools, risen from poverty and gotten access to clean water in the course the last decade.

Amazing Flying Lotus music video, directed by Special Problems

The concept driving this piece hits you on the head fairly early, but you can’t help but want to join him on the visual ride he is experiencing, starting with an 8-bit game like world, and getting progressively more organic as he progresses. The animation styles are intricate, intriguing and flat out awesome which leave me wanting more at the end. A seemingly appropriate feeling considering the theme of the video.

Just discovered this really cool blog from Partners & Spade. A daily log of visual research, inspiration and digital ephemera. I love that you can browse the posts by chromatics too.

Released in 1972, the song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 on November 18, 1972 and reached #6 on the US charts in 1973.
