Air Natzke
Armando Alves @ October 30th, 2007No, it’s not another Nike campaign. It’s the latest endeavor of Erik Natkze, now a Adobe evangelist for the AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) platform, a cross operating system runtime that allows to build and deploy applications using Flash, HTML and Javascript technologies to the desktop.
The technology is usually associated with Rich Internet Applications, but we now have the chance of seeing Natzke using AIR in the same way Joshua Davis did for the web, and coding beautiful generative art.
Using Flash CS3, PNGEncoder and AIR, Natzke takes photos and transforms them into artwork based on the original photograph.
The technology was showcased in the US, with a onAIR tour, and is probably heading to Europe one of these days, highlighting applications such as Pownce or SalesForce.

AdFavs: Lee Jeans and Zapatero
Armando Alves @ October 16th, 2006
Above: An ad poster for Lee Jeans, shot by Terry Richardson, that was quite controversial in Australia. Although the ad depicts that the girl is over 18, it is a thin line between photo-chic and soft-porn.

On a more noble subject, Tiempo BBDO Spain created a viral video for the United Nations campaign against poverty. Following the same idea of the Air Force 1 graffiti hoax we see President’s Zapatero seat in the UN being “hacked”.

After the video went viral, the agency explained it was all an hoax and the video was edited to make it look real.
