Kasper Bjørke ft. Jaakko Eino Kalevi - TNR

The Nordic Pairing’s Dark Disco Fuels a Luminous Imagination

Neon waves of post-punk disco ebb and flow over homages to 1980s screen classics in the video for “TNR” by Kasper Bjørke featuring Jaakko Eino Kalevi. “I have always been a sucker for producers like Vangelis and Giorgio Moroder, who both made brilliant soundtracks to some of my favorite movies around that time,” says Danish artist Bjørke. “I was lucky to work with my dear friend Kurt Uenala, who co-wrote the latest Depeche Mode album and that had an influence on the overall sound.” Finnish pop experimentalist Kalevi’s androgynous vocal haunts the shadowy club track, taken from Bjørke’s forthcoming album, After Forever. “I think that Jaakko is one of the most interesting acts to come out of the Nordic countries in a long time,” says Bjørke, who enlisted Amsterdam’s Alpaca Animations to conjure visuals pooled from Miami Vice and Robert Palmer’s “Addicted to Love” video among other references. “It turned out though that both Kasper and us were big fans of David Hockney and Tron,” explain Alpaca’s founders, David Lamain and Martine Rademakers of the roots of the video’s inspiration. “We took big felt pens and started drawing; the camera captured the ink leaking through the paper, and we combined it with stop-motion and puppet elements.”

The Secret Garden: Ford Ranch

Nestled in a mountain canyon where Hemingway spent his summers, Queen Elizabeth II popped by to visit friends, and rodeo is still a main event, lies the cultivated oasis of Ford Ranch. Acquired by Joan F. Wallick and Robert L. Wallick Sr. in 1968, the sprawling Wyoming residence is captured by director Albert Moya for NOWNESS’s weekly Great Gardens series. “I was inspired by meeting the kind of dreamer who has, and still is, working on making her stories real,” says the filmmaker of Ms Wallick, an accomplished pilot whose obsessive passion for collecting spans insects, Christmas ornaments (32,656), and over 400 varieties of plants in 35 acres. It’s a marvel to discover radiant blue delphinium spires, hundreds of hostas and the apothecary rose Rosa gallica officinalis blooming alongside the grave of Wallick’s late wolf, Eeyore (winters dip to -30 and summers experience 100 degree heat punctuated by huge thunderstorms). “Part of the joy of gardening lies in the challenge of this environment,” explains Wallick, who has built fences to keep the mountain lions, bears and deer at bay, enabling her manicured paradise to flourish. “I’ve got the urge to plant one of everything and see what it looks like,” she adds. “But that’s for next year.”

Forest & Bird - NZ on the Block

Wild and treasured places of New Zealand are being opened up to gas and oil drilling, mining and logging as the government ignores warnings of climate change, and seeks to advance an economic agenda that harms, rather than protects.

The government is currently selling exploitation rights to 925,200 hectares of conservation and private land, and more than 39 million hectares of ocean, through an international tender process.

The New Zealand we all want to live in is one where our coastline is home to a network of marine reserves; our rivers are unpolluted and safe for swimming; and our conservation land is protected as a home for our threatened and rare species; not as a resource to be plundered.

Prada Fall/Winter 2014 Men's Advertising Campaign: Behind The Scenes

Prada presents the 'Behind the Scenes' video of its Fall/Winter 2014 Menswear Campaign.
McAvoy's theatre is formed of concrete and stone, the austere landscape shot in black and grey, an homage to the German avant-garde. Concrete staircases, stone paving and a rocky coast swept by a grey sea bring a certainty and magnitude to the atmosphere of the photographs. Against this backdrop Leibovitz and McAvoy interpret the Prada man a play of multiple acts.
The dramatic effect is an experimental narrative of bold and exceptional individuality.

98% Human

Mill+ NY has teamed up with BBDO NY and PETA to create an astonishing and groundbreaking new spot "98% Human".

"98% Human" is part of PETA's commitment to stop primates being used within the entertainment industries as actors. The Mill+ team, alongside BBDO NY, embarked on an incredibly ambitious journey to create a truly photo-real and completely life-like chimpanzee.

The spot focuses on the use of primates and is part of PETA's campaign "The Great Ape Pledge" which drives viewers to the newly developed microsite www.greatapepledge.org where they can register to take the pledge and stop the use of primates as actors.

"98% Human" is a fully integrated campaign that is set to galvanize the creative industries into pledging to stop the use of primates as actors, companies already taking the pledge including BBDO NY and The Mill Group.

The Mill+ team was lead by animation director Angus Kneale and he explains some of the complexities and new techniques Mill+ created to bring the photo-real chimpanzee to life.

"This was one of the most exciting and challenging projects I've ever worked on. Crafting PETA "98% Human" was more than about creating a totally believable, photo-real CG Chimp. It was about establishing an emotional connection and empathy with the audience. In the past we would have used motion capture and mapped a human actor's performance directly onto the CG character but we wanted to approach this project in a different way, so we decided to rely on the skill of our animators for the final chimp performances, only using an actor for previs.

"We pushed computer graphics imagery to a new level creating bespoke technology in muscle and skin simulation, higher than any other project or film to date. We achieved this by developing new techniques from simulated bloodstreams, skin tension and even individual pores at the base of every hair on the chimpanzee, all with the aim to create a creature that is practically indistinguishable from his flesh and blood counterpart".

"98% Human" is a collaboration between the BBDO NY creative team lead by Toygar Bazarkaya and Mill+ NY and the spot demonstrates the partnership between creativity and technology by delivering on PETA's powerful message that you do not need to use live primates as actors, now that we can create fully life-like, photo-real primates.

Take a look and take the pledge!

Jumper

Jumper' is a short film written and directed by Justin Anderson, It tells the story of a bourgeois European family whose lives are invaded by an enigmatic visitor. Set within a 20th century modern villa in Spain, his presence creates an unnerving effect. The film was produced to coincide with the the 10 year anniversary of British fashion designer, Jonathan Saunders. Jonathan is incredibly passionate about film and it often serves as a starting point for a collection, in this instance the collection was the starting point for the film.
Inspired by the 1968 Pasolini's film ‘Teorema’ - Justin’s film focuses on a middle class family of four, who’s lives are all individually connected to the mysterious visitor.

Flaming Lips, Miley Cyrus and Moby in Blonde SuperFreak Steals the Magic Brain

"The video story is something like this: Moby is an evil, power-hungry cult leader. He wants the world's most valuable (according to our story) psychedelic supernatural possession... John F. Kennedy's brain....the brain contains the original formula for the drug LSD!!!
Miley Cyrus has the magic brain!!! And Moby enlists a nympho Manson girl-type blonde superfreak to go steel the brain from Cyrus.
She steals the brain from Cyrus while Cyrus is still in bed in a drug-induced coma. Cyrus finally wakes up and is mega-pissed that her BRAIN has been stolen. She enlists a burned-faced Santa and a lesbian Bigfoot ( that are hovering in a nearby spaceship) to hunt down the blond superfreak that stole her brain. They have a relentless pursuit, all the while Cyrus laments the loss of her magic brain and Moby gains powerful rainbows from hell. In the end, the blond superfreak kills Santa and Bigfoot and a baby mole ends up with the brain…" 
Oh yeah. And the Flaming Lips are disguised as rainbows, mushrooms and flowers watching from the sky room where a giant diamond explosion happens."

It is a dream home that once seemed impossible to realize, but has now become an art manifesto for Berlin’s historical Mitte district, where change is the norm.

Work Relation 2014 - A film by Marina Abramović, in collaboration with adidas

Adidas teams with performance art icon Marina Abramović for a collaborative film project celebrating the 2014 FIFA World Cup™ in Brazil.

Adidas presents its collaboration with performance artist Marina Abramović, unveiling an original, short video celebrating the brand's partnership and support of the 2014 FIFA World Cup™ in Brazil. The three-minute film captures the first ever re-staging of Abramović's iconic 1970s performance "Work Relation"—which focuses on commitment, teamwork and the strength found in togetherness—reimagined through the lens of the 2014 FIFA World Cup™. This marks adidas and Abramović's first project together and demonstrates the many parallels that exist between the artist's piece and the play of any team sport.

First performed in 1978 by Abramović and her partner at the time Ulay, the original "Work Relation" was a groundbreaking form of performance art unveiled at the Theatre ann Rijn in Arnhem, The Netherlands. The original piece--seen reenacted in this film for the first time since 1979—consisted of three sequences, each presenting a unique model for transporting stones from one end of a room to another. Using only buckets and human labor, the three models compare and contrast systems of cooperation and efficiency, with the participants' bodies serving as the medium.

The 2014 execution of Abramović's "Work Relation" revisits these same themes of the original, while also paying tribute to adidas' partnership with the 2014 FIFA World Cup. In the reenacted piece, eleven performers from varying walks of life reference the total members of a soccer/football team. Together, the performers harness the fundamental principles of the sports world - teamwork, discipline and perseverance --to once again transport stones from one side of the room to the other.

The resulting performance conjures the ethos of adidas and the spirit of collaboration inherent to a global competition like the 2014 FIFA World Cup™ in Brazil.

KENZO Fall-Winter 2014 Campaign by TOILETPAPER

The KENZO Fall-Winter 2014 campaign takes us on a mysterious journey to an unfamiliar world. A place where the ordinary is slightly distorted, mirrors lead to other dimensions, and the strange and beautiful coexist in singular harmony.

Born of the inspirations for the fall collections, David Lynch and his oeuvre, the advertising presents the KENZO collections for Men, Women, Kids and Accessories. Each image depicts a jarring cinematic scenario, all of which were contrived by KENZO's creative directors, Carol Lim & Humberto Leon in collaboration with TOILETPAPER Magazine's creatives, Maurizio Cattelan, Pierpaolo Ferrari and Micol Talso. This is the third occasion the creative fivesome have worked together on a KENZO campaign, having previously come together for the Fall 2013 and Spring-Summer 2014 collections. Where once in the image it was the protagonists dictating the mood, herein lies a world where the subjects are trying to find their way through unknown territory.

Known for their unique and playful take on the eccentric, the TOILETPAPER team brings the viewer on another perplexing exploration into the parisian fashion houses collections, this time with the help of models Guinevere Van Seenus and Robert McKinnon.

"This being our third collaboration, we were interested in figuring out ways to evolve the past concepts into something that felt different but still in the spirit of both KENZO and TOILETPAPER. Since the collection was inspired by David Lynch, it was natural for us to incorporate some of the emotions we experience when seeing his work."
Carol Lim

"Guinevere really feels like a woman who could live in David Lynch's world and could emulate the range of charactor one could see in his movies. We loved how she plays on the subtly ambiguous relationship with robert. It's part of the process of trying to discern what's really going on."

THIS IS DANE REYNOLDS

The video comes with a full report on Dane Reynolds in the latest issue of Desillusion magazine.

KENZO Men Spring-Summer 2015

As Americans in Paris, we have come to notice what makes the French man different from his global counterparts. His distinguished, irreverent, playful and always sharp style is instantly recognizable, and tends to have an almost instantaneous effect on the millions of men who visit the Gallic community's epicenter each year. For the KENZO Spring/Summer 2015 men's collection we pay homage to the millions of Parisian men whose way of dressing has, over time, inspired the masses to borrow and assimilate the key codes and rites of their wardrobe.
On adore l'homme français!

Carol Lim & Humberto Leon

Music: KENZO is pleased to announce an exclusive collaboration with electronic duo Disclosure for the soundtrack of the men's SS15 show. Their first time partnering with a fashion house, brothers Guy and Howard Laurence have created a never before heard mix to atmosphere the collection designed by Humberto Leon and Carol Lim. KENZO and Disclosure are also teaming up on a project to be revealed at the groups 'Wild Life' shows later in the year.

Zegna Couture Spring Summer 2015 Fashion Show by Stefano Pilati

The Ermenegildo Zegna Couture SS 2015 Fashion Show movie directed by Johan Söderberg is an unconventional cut, a different view on the latest spring-summer show designed by Stefano Pilati.

The starting point was architecture then space came along as a word to objectify it.The inspiration is the result of their interaction translated into the origin of functionality to embody the social structures, the business logics. The silhouettes are more evidently defined in their volumes - the space - and in their graphism - the architecture.

Credits:

Stefano Pilati, concept and creative direction
Johan Söderberg, director and editor
AJ Weissbard, lighting designer
James Murphy, music
Eva Tempelman and Max Brun, executive producers
URBAN production, event producer

Bottega Veneta Men's Spring-Summer 2015

For Spring-Summer 2015, Bottega Veneta presents a men's collection of ease and grace. While the looks are utterly
relaxed and unrestrictive, the luxurious materials and carefully considered silhouette give the collection its subtle formality.

THE SLAP

I gathered acquaintances, friends both casual and close, paired them randomly, put them in a void, and asked them to hit each other in the face. No one was pressured, and everyone was hit as hard as THEY asked to be hit. To go beyond the parody for the full story of what happened, be sure to watch Point of Impact.

This is not a marketing campaign, just me and my friends being real, real dumb.

Jamie xx- All Under One Roof Raving

"I made All Under One Roof Raving whilst on the tail end of another year on the road with The xx. I was missing life in London and trawling through any music and videos that reminded me of home. One in particular I found very inspiring, Mark Leckey's 'Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore. I made this track in order to play out back home as I knew the year to come would be spent largely in the UK, DJing and making my own album. It serves as a reminder, not to take any time for granted at home or away." Jamie xx

Henrik Vibskov: ‘Vibskovski;72’ (Ruttkowski;68, Cologne/Germany)

HENRIK VIBSKOV is a multidisciplinary talent who constantly challenges and expresses his creativity in new ways. He studied fashion design at the renowned London art college Central Saint Martins and graduated cum laude. Back in Denmark, he launched his eponymous fashion label which has become known for its avant-garde collections. Aside from fashion, Vibskov is also an accomplished musician. He plays the drums for Trentemøller. He also designs costumes and sets for music, theatre and opera productions. Earlier this year, he did the costumes for a re-interpretation of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake performed by The Norwegian National Ballet. For Björk's 2015 tour of Medúlla at The Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels, he designed both the set and the costumes.
Yet, even with fashion and music keeping him busy, art remains Vibskov's raison d'être - the purest expression of his ideas. His artworks have been shown in museums and galleries worldwide. Vibskovski;72 II, his second exhibition at Ruttkowski;68 gallery, features new photographs, woodcuttings and objects that question our definitions and expectations.

SHOWstudio: Palmer//Harding S/S 15 - Cacilie Harris

Palmer//Harding have embraced the tension between strength and vulnerability as the design foundation for their S/S 15 offering. Taking their starting point from the combination of functionality and authority found in vintage collegiate uniforms, Levi Palmer and Matthew Harding added a contemporary element to their research, looking at the textures of peeling billboards in their London surroundings.

The resulting collection expresses these polarised qualities and is captured in a film by Cecilie Harris. The casting of olympic gymnast Sam Oldham expresses a juxtaposition of strength and grace that encapsulates the label's vision of modern masculinity, further emphasised by model Oliver Jones' portrayal of 'naive youth liberated in a concrete and steel setting'.

An intentional abrupt beginning and end startles the senses and causes a slight disturbance, leaving the viewer without a definitive end, completely considered but still raw and unfinished; in a way, similar to the designs in the collection.

I HAD TOO MUCH TO MUCH TO DREAM LAST NIGHT

A Story of Disruption: Narrated by Kevin Spacey

History is full of visionaries who have imagined the impossible, turned it into a reality and disrupted the world around them in the process. By embracing radical new visions, ideas and concepts, these disruptors have been the originators of a new way of thinking, doing and being. They are the revolutionaries of disruptive technology and design.

But disruption isn't limited to history. It is a necessary part of the future. Across the globe people are challenging norms and envisioning a new, superior future for us, all driven by the knowledge that the world can, and will, be made better. They seek inspiration from the most unique and unusual places. They aren't afraid to push the boundaries. They are not defied by limits.

They are Disruptive by Design. It is a philosophy. A process. A promise. An inherent need to improve the world around us in an unexpected, innovative way.

We can all be Disruptive by Design.

This is our story of disruption. Narrated by Kevin Spacey.
