Echolab x 2: Mobiado & Pause Fest

Two amazing new projects from Dublin based Echolab; above, Mobiado Stealth 712, promoting Mobiado‘s new addition to its luxury watch collection, the Stealth 712. Visuals by Moscow based Stereotactic.

Next up is a collaboration with Murat Pak, this time for Pause Fest, creating their 2011 ID – Echolab Version. Although Pause Fest was sponsored by a music company and hence all audio was completed by said company for offical openings/titles, etc. However, a few of the visual artists involved are taking it upon themselves to re-release versions with audio they feel more accurately reflects a final product they initially had in mind. Nice!

Tim Jockel: Holographic Fashion Show

Berlin based freelance designer Tim Jockel, who started out at Firstborn and now a member of infarbe, designed and completed production on the visuals for this Stefan Eckert fastion show. “The question was how to communicate the philosophy behind the new collection of German “Haute Couture” fashion designer Stefan Eckert in a better way. The answer was the world’s first complete 3D holographic fashion show. I teamed up with director Florian Sigl to create the visual concept for the show and how to express the collection within this special medium as best as possible. After shooting with a high speed camera I did all stages of post production, from 3D to motion graphics to compositing.
The result was one of the biggest holographic projections ever which creates a complete optical illusion and breaks the rules of time and space on stage.”

Rem Koolhaas: United Nude

UPDATE: apologies, United Nude founder Rem D Koolhaas, also an architect, is in fact the nephew of Rem Koolhaas of OMA (thnx Dory ; )

Dutch architect Rem D Koolhaas broke into the world of fashion in 2003 as a result of a failing relationship … from the site “This story begins with a broken heart. Rem’s attempt to get the girl back was made by downsizing architecture to its smallest and most vulnerable scale, that of a woman’s foot. While most romantic notions are often foolish, what was hatched through the inspiration of romance was the ‘Möbius’ shoe. The girl was gone, but he knew the shoe had to become real.”
