How is Stockholm feeling today?

Pretty cool urban art installation in Stockholm

http://www.emotionalcities.com
With the Swedish winter in full swing, an interactive installation is shedding some light on the darkness – as well as on Stockholmers' state of mind.

City's inhabitants are invited to participate in this Emotional Cities lighting exhibition. Anybody can register their current emotional state by answering the question “How are you today?" on the website www.emotionalcities.com.

Visitors to the site report how they are feeling using a scale of seven faces, from frowning to smiley, each coloured to represent a point on the spectrum from violet (sad) to red (happy). The shade of the lights projected on the facades of the five towers at Hötorget changes according to how Stockholmers rate their mood. A median value is calculated for the city, which in turn determines the lights' colour.

Street With a View

We just submitted a similar idea to one of our clients. Imagine mapping a city with art through a mobile app, each piece contextualised to the area or street.

These guys had the same-ish idea but thought about a much simpler and more effective way to implement it.

Lovely

reebok denies all involvement... but the pain train is back and getting out the vote

everyone old enough (or with an internet connection) remembers reebok's superbowl ads from a couple of years ago staring nfl linebacker terry tate....

"terry tate office linebacker" is a high flyer on youtube and by far reebok's highest viewed commercial on the global video site...

that said, although reebok denies involvement, the pain train has returned at returnofterrytate.com.
(denies involvement, but is seemingly fine with someone else using their creative assets... yeah right... nice work)



so tomorrow get out and vote... or that's all she wrote...
