Innovation in Urban Street Furniture

Carmela Bogman and Rogier Martens have designed a new kind of outdoor furniture that can be pumped out of the pavement by people in the community.  There is a hydraulic system that allows you to adjust the furniture to any height. You could make a bench or a picnic table.  @toxel

 

 

Chinese Artist Liu Bolin

Alexa Meade is a 23 year old painting prodigy

The work Alexa Meade produces is out of this world. She paints acrylic paintings on  people to create live 3D art.   Based in Washington DC “She has innovated a Trompe-L’Oeil painting technique that can perceptually compress three-dimensional space into a two-dimensional plane.” Check out her site for more photos of her work. I look forward to working with her in the experiential world.

This is a follow up to yesterdays post.  I found out this morning that there is a NYC artist named Ryan Johnson who created the below. Ogilvy claims their creative team never saw Johnson’s work but after comparing the two there is no way the Ogilvy creative team came up with this on their own. What do you think?

UPS in super slow motion

UPS created this “make you look twice” person in motion for the streets of Jakarta. I was never that good with popsicle sticks.

Formula One racing on the streets of London anyone?

Red Bull has a knack for making the impossible happen. Last time I tried to race my Formula 1 race car in London they gave me a very expensive ticket.

Red Bull managed to get permission for Driver Mark Webber to drive through london and pull up to the Houses of Parliament for a pit stop.
