Per Zennström: Per Zennström+LEICA+Michael Sontag

When Per Zennström was invited by LEICA to participate in a fashion photography show during Berlin Fashion Week 2011, he wanted to do a bit more than just hang a photograph on a wall. Instead, Zennström teamed up with fashion designer Michael Sontag to create something quite innovative. With the help of Anne Kotte and Tony Lundström, they filled a gallery space with four elements and a mixture of mediums: a photograph, a model, a video and a QR code that linked them all. A large life-size triptych photo of model Natasia Koechy (wearing an elegant green dress from Sontag) was displayed on the wall. In the photo, she lifts up her dress up to reveal a QR code that, when scanned with an iPhone, links your phone directly to the video for the project. Natasia also stood in person next to her picture with a faux tattoo (of the same QR code) that allowed viewers to scan her in real life. The entire gallery was scanning, viewing and sharing the video while they were at the event, showing how easily QR code technology can connect people.

TOCH Studio: MadInSpain 2011 Open Titles

Madrid motion design studio, TOCH created a beautiful short, opening film that mixes elegance and alien-esque creepiness for the MadInSpain conference—an event that celebrates creators and designers around the world. The video starts with a woman opening her eyes, as squid-like creatures begin to grow from the back of her neck and wrap around her face. They are oddly not frightening because of their material, which seems to be opulent snakeskin and dark, soft leather, making their tentacles look more organic and less intimidating. The form’s bulbous heads pulsate like heartbeats to techno music produced by John Black from CypherAudio, and begin to multiply and float around the woman like balloons, creating a magnificently serene scene.

Sala28: Blue Lounge

Sala28 originally created their projecting mapping installation Blue Lounge for a festival in Amparo, Brazil. The installation illuminates with cool blue and red hued cubes and lines, which form what looks to be 3D shapes. The Brazil-based interactive technology studio are not new to projection mapping. When browsing through their gallery profile, we saw that they’ve also done stage visuals for one of our French Creators Brodinski.
