Today it is one year ago that Barack Obama was elected. Time to look back to his Campaign. Scott Thomas the Design Director for Obama’s 2008 campaign, led a now-historic political campaign, in which branding, design, and the web played a truly pivotal role. Likening the experience to “building an airplane in flight,” Scott talks about the creative’s need for triage, the crucial role of incremental design improvements, and the importance of getting back to the hand and keeping things simple.

About Scott
Scott Thomas is constantly seeking the simplest answer to complex problems. Scott began his design pursuits studying architecture before bouncing to graphic design and web development.

In 2006, he and five other creative types began a design collective, lovingly known as The Post Family. The group is devoted to supporting “family” member’s design habits-from silkscreen to letterpress, from illustration to blogging-in an effort to “get back to the hand.”

In 2007, Scott’s career took a dramatic leap when he was invited to join the New Media team at Obama for America. He is currently writing a book that explains how an obscure senator rose to the highest office in the land and celebrity status with the aid of branding and design.

Last week someone sent me a email about a great website in japan called wonder-wall. I look at it. My first reaction was, i have see this before, very long ago. The working of the website was very simular at the website of sandberg.nl. So how was first ? I know that the website of Sandberg Institute, came online in 2002-2003 and was made by Luna Maurer. I have on idea when wonder-wall was made. But i think must later. Another thing between the websites is “audio”. They have just the same sound experiments. This can’t be a coincidence.

The patented systems Mediamesh® and Illumesh®, both products of a joint development between ag4 media facade GmbH and GKD AG, transform building facades into atmospheric and medial objects. This innovative technology is planned for several projects including the former headquarters of Bayer AG in Leverkusen. Starting next autumn, 5.6 million LEDs will transform the builidng into a structure shining with brilliant light. On a total surface of 17,500 m², the building, which has been completely gutted, will be wrapped in two different kinds of steel mesh with integrated LED profiles.

MonkeyLectric releases the Video Pro: The world’s first full color VIDEO display in a rotating wheel. Our cutting edge Persistence Of Vision technology features 256 RGB LEDs in a compact 4-spoke system that mounts into standard bike wheels. Stabilized images and video are displayed in thousands of colors. Zigbee wireless control. More at http://www.monkeylectric.com/

The only problem is, that you can’t design you own patterns for it. Why ? It must be possible.

Robert Hodgin (flight404) ; “My main uses for Processing are in the realm of audio visualization. I have made many videos using only Processing with no post production or editing after the fact. This is a bragging point only… it would certainly be more effective to render out a bunch of shorter videos and then piece them together in AE or something similar. But I get great joy out of knowing that I can hit PLAY, walk away for a bit, play some GTA IV, then come back to find a finished piece that has enough randomness built in that when I view it, I feel I am viewing something totally unique and were I to press PLAY again, the next version would be different.”

Robert Hodgin is using Processing for personal entertainment, but he was also involved in the interactive projection wall NextFest Grass Wall by The Barbarian Group and flight404. see this video

The purpose of the installation was to promote the new Saturn hybrid cars. The concept was simple enough: 45 feet of grass swaying in a virtual breeze. Visitors to the installation can make the grass sway just by walking in front of it. Additionally, visitors can input text from either of the two kiosks positioned in front of the screen. This text appears in the projection attached to its own grass blade and sways along with the rest of the scene.

The Turkish designer Hakan Bogazpinar’s has a design solution for aerial photography for the height of summertime madness. The Flee Digital Camera is like Nerf-vision, capturing images from vantage points otherwise only experienced by low-flying and vigilant feathered friends. When the “flee” thrown away, it starts taking photos in costumized time interval and sending them to your mobile phone by using the bluetooth signal.

The Lemur is a top of the range control surface for audio and media applications, that breaks from the prior art on several grounds. Its major innovation consists in its brilliant modular graphic interface concept.

The Lemur Input Device is a highly-customizable multi-touch device from French company JazzMutant which serves as a controller for musical devices such as synthesizers and mixing consoles as well as for other media applications such as video performances. As an audio tool, the Lemur’s role is equivalent to that of a MIDI controller in a MIDI studio setup, except that the Lemur uses the Open Sound Control (OSC) protocol, a proposed high-speed networking replacement for MIDI. The controller is especially well-suited for use with Reaktor and Max/MSP, tools for building custom software synthesizers.

Rf id mon amour 1.0 is a kit for designers, artists and architects, which allows the realization of interactive exhibitions in a very simple manner, without any specific knowledge of programming or electronics. With RF-ID mon amour you can “map” each rfid tag to a video (any QuickTime readable format is allowed) just by placing them on the reader and selecting a file.

Radiohead just released a new video for its song “House of Cards” from the album “In Rainbows”. No cameras or lights were used. Instead two technologies were used to capture 3D images: Geometric Informatics and Velodyne LIDAR. Geometric Informatics scanning systems produce structured light to capture 3D images at close proximity, while a Velodyne Lidar system that uses multiple lasers is used to capture large environments such as landscapes. In this video, 64 lasers rotating and shooting in a 360 degree radius 900 times per minute produced all the exterior scenes. The engine to make the video is a opensource app made in processing.

Just take a look at it and play around with it

Interaction and advertising are finding ways together the last years in are society.
But how do we implement a message and efficentie together in one design
there are ways to realise it.

Tack a look in Hong Kong.

But there is more.
Nokia is did something with the new N95 in 2007 around london.
It involves a huge touchscreen where people can play a memory game.

and take a look at Walking on Clouds
we can see that most of the designs are based on a two layer principle
1 the interaction part
2 the corporate message behind the interaction layer..
