Interactive vs. Reactive
I wrote this blog over on the Moving Brands website (under the pen name Rex McWhirter):
PAPPELTALKS from vizage on Vimeo.
Found this via the fantastic today and tomorrow blog. This CD cover designed by Hubero Kororo, leaks ink upon opening, thus creating a unique artwork where the user completes the design. T&T described the project as ‘interactive’ and I suppose to a degree it is. The fact that the trigger, and process, by which it creates surprise and mystery, is characteristic of a lot of interaction design. But I think it’s more reactive, the process can only be controlled a little and it’s a one time only event. There is something very beautiful about it and I find something really refreshing in the analogue, physical way it works.
The future is now!

Picked this up free in a newsagents in Shoreditch- was really struck at how good it was- I particularly like the illustrated fashion/object page- can't afford the 'in' things- don't worry just draw them- and also really liked the projecting onto the fashion model- lovely stuff. The people involved can be found here........ & here........
The Man Who Shot the 60s
Great documentary on iplayer- about 60s photographer Brian Duffy and his contemporaries Donovan and Bailey. As far as I can tell these guys pretty much paved the way for modern photography and kicked against the staid, formal styles of photography which had come before. Check it here.
