Walking through the office I came across this radical and subversive piece of installation art… or was it just something the cleaners left behind?

I'm probably the last person the world to see this but it is fantastic and therefore blog worthy... it's just what UK politics is lacking - a bit of flair! (not Blair)

Have just completed some work for M&S's 125 Anniversary.

More on the Nostalgia thoughts...

In these dark economic times, thinking about the future is a fairly daunting prospect. So with this in mind it has been interesting to see that many household brands are using nostalgia and a fondness for the good ol’ days to sell their products…

Most people think banners are boring and/or just get in the way... this is a truly imaginative and fun way of making use of the really restrictive window sizes we have to work with... streaming live bands into banner spaces but what's really cool is that they have got the bands to perform in boxes that are of the same dimensions of the banner...

It Is What It Is: Fountain Square Cincinnati, OH

Turner prize winner Jeremy Deller, is driving this burnt out shell of a car round America. The mangled wreckage is lasting evidence of an attack in Bagdhad in 2007, where 35 people were killed and more injured. The resulting conversations of passers by being put on Youtube.

I like the way that this 'piece' evokes intrigue at first, then horror when the context is revealed, finally conversation... but what is really interesting is that Deller filmed the conversations and stuck them on Youtube thus extending and amplifying the piece to make something much bigger.

Seems like everyone's going Twitter mad at the moment... Initially set up as a means to communicate with friends and family, inevitably users have taken it on and made it their own.... here's a brief introduction by founder Evan Williams.
