Daniel Schwarz: Piece Of Paper

Love this short from Italian Designer/Director Daniel Schwarz: Piece of Paper was realized with a setup of triangle-cut paper sculptures, various pop-up sculptures and 40 kg of soil in the photo studio of Fabrica. The only light comes from two video projectors reacting to Amon Tobin‘s track ‘Piece of Paper’ in realtime through a software programmed in vvvv. The visuals – partly mapped to the sculptures, partly non-mapped – are generative and based on algorithms, some nature footage shot in Italy and Croatia and, of course, the audio.

KORB: Coca-Cola contest

More impressive creative from KORB: Coca-Cola promo film for Eyeka co-creation community contest in 2010. From KORB’s vimeo page:

Coca-Cola bottles have been leaping inside our computers quite a long time. We created this Coca-Cola promo film for Eyeka co-creation community contest in 2010. As there were no scenario restrictions we have decided to withdraw this massively popular product from tradicional soft drink’s settings and interpreted it just as well-recognizable object, red topped white glass bottle with brown drink inside. This is what happens when legendary image meets sounds of the harp in sterile neutral space.
