Farm in our "cuisines"

Parece cada vez mais comum trazer o prazer das quintas até ao conforto das nossas cozinhas. Enquanto assistimos ao aumento de pré-congelados, comida pronta a comer, e a horas de almoço fora de casa e chamadas "on going", também é verdade que estes momentos fast life são aproveitados: todos aqueles momentos relaxantes em casa muitas vezes são satisfeitos com preparações culinárias mais sofisticadas, naturais e em grupo... Basta às marcas oferecerem a conveniência que os consumidores desejam e proporcionem estes bons momentos!

Privacy or open privacy?

"things are changing in this sphere, and rapidly. We are in a new age of "open privacy", where many of us live our lives openly through the network and yet we want to control how much of us is out there. As a result, our approach to privacy is shifting. Hey, I use Facebook, Flickr, Twitter - all tools of openness - but I also want tools of control (my control)".

Tokio Design Week

100% Design Tokyo, was built around the theme “Love.”

"Eu sou os outros"

Há dez anos que Rui Chafes não expunha individualmente numa galeria lisboeta. Dez esculturas em ferro, de produção recente, são agora apresentadas na Galeria Graça Brandão. Até 5 de Janeiro.

Nascido em 1966, Rui Chafes é um dos nomes que ganharam visibilidade durante a década de 80. Hoje é um dos escultores mais importantes da sua geração, tendo nos últimos anos dedicado-se a expor fora de Portugal. Recentemente produziu uma escultura "site-specific" para a Fondazione Volume (Roma) e, em Outubro, concebeu uma instalação intitulada "Nocturno", comissariada por Marcio Doctors, na Fundação Eva Klabin (Rio de Janeiro).

IAT - Psychological tool

The Project Implicit site (implicit.harvard.edu) has been functioning as a hands-on science museum exhibit, allowing web visitors to experience the manner in which human minds display the effects of stereotypic and prejudicial associations acquired from their socio-cultural environment.

Project Implicit is a Virtual Laboratory for the social and behavioral sciences designed to facilitate the research of implicit social cognition: cognitions, feelings, and evaluations that are not necessarily available to conscious awareness, conscious control, conscious intention, or self-reflection.

The World's Dirtiest Film (With David Spade) is Now Finished

This is a short movie created by Unilever’s Axe Shower Gel and David Spade (and also featuring some frat party-generated content found on the web) that makes a farce of the corporation’s simultaneous Dove “Real Beauty” campaign.

Metrofunk.com

Metrofunk.com is metropolitan based “invite only” online mobile and social networkfocused exclusively on anything trendy and funky in the fabulous worlds of nightlife, fashion, music, and film.

The fashion, music and film verticals assume that the users themselves will be designers, musicians, and filmmakers “peddling their wares” so to speak. But with so many sites actually devoted to those pursuits already (MySpace, IQONS, Amie Street…) we’re not sure how Metrofunk will fare in that regard.

The nightlife component seems to have the most potential, as it allows users to aggregate and organize all their VIP invites in a semi-exclusive environment...

Festival Internacional de Curtas: Boca del Lobo

São curtas e vêm de Espanha...

E não vêm sozinhas, trazem acompanhantes. E a avaliar pelas suas belas sinopses, promete e promete à grande. “Paco um mulherengo, utiliza o seu sobrinho de 5 anos para cortejar as raparigas de que gosta.”. Também resulta com cães, é uma questão de treino.

Uns filmezitos para aguçar o gosto pela terra de nuestros hermanos, fazendo-se acompanhar de uns concertos, live act e dj set à mistura. Te encanta?

Entrada livre para o festival de curtas dia 21; dia 22 das 21h30 às 23h e dias 23 e 24 das 22h às 00h. Si, MusicBox. Oh, si.

Dj Set Ali Schwarz (Tiefschwarz)

A batalha do tempo continua a travar-se nas ruas de Lisboa. As noites arrancam suaves e mornas. Depois chega o vento fresco a correr pelas colinas abaixo (qual puto no Verão a curtir nos escorregas de água) mas entretanto já os lisboetas suam recolhidos num micro mundo de música, ritmo, dança e muito calor. Felizmente os tipos do Lux dão-se com os artistas que lá passam em jeito tu-cá tu-lá. “Oh Ali, quando é que dás um saltinho a Lisboa?” “Opá, eu ando um bocado apertado mas já tenho saudades vossas. Que dizes esta sexta?”. Alessander é o cérebro da dupla. Ora este fim-de-semana os manos Schwarz dividem-se. Basti (Sebastian) encarrega-se dos nuestros hermanos e nós ficamos com o electro-house cerebral do mano mais velho. prontos para amanha apanharem um escaldão?

New consumers... New agencies...

Consumers are now willing to engage in a dialogue with companies that vigorously pursue them. The reason for this shift? Social media. In order to thrive in today’s rapidly changing marketplace, savvy businesses know they must unlock the full potential of social media.

And new agencies do this: they empower brands to engage with consumers —effectively and safely.

PULGAS MIX, MODA URBANA Y PASARELA AL AIRE LIBRE

El Pulgas Mix hizo su 13.ª edición en el fin de semana pasado, en el Convent de Sant Agustí, en Barcelona.

Un concepto de mercadillo donde jóvenes talentos muestran (y venden) sus creaciones –tanto de moda como artísicas-, mientras podemos escuchar música en directo y actuaciones de djs, a parte de disfrutar de espectáculos de danza y demás.

Un concepto interesante!! ;)

Youth Now React To Commercial Culture By Creating Commercial Culture

New York Times Magazine writers believe that for the first time youth have responded to commercial culture by creating their own commercial culture.
They have hijacked the language and tools of branding and marketing for their own ends. He argues that this isn’t a rejection, it’s a threat. It’s consistent with the idea of the end of mass-consumerism but underneath this notion this movement reflects how widely people have accepted and internalized the grammar of branding and know how to do it.

examples: brands like The Hundreds and Barking Irons

Project better place

Today, the world depends on oil as its fundamental transportation energy source. With the rapid rise in oil prices, a number of alternatives to oil have been proposed in recent years with little success. Project Better Place will focus on the integration of existing technologies and systems to provide the infrastructure and scale necessary to make electric cars a viable alternative to fuel-based vehicles. By doing so, Project Better Place will overcome low adoption rates to-date due to the lack of an established and ubiquitous charging infrastructure to support electric vehicles.

Similar to the model of wireless operators and their deployment of cell towers, Project Better Place will deploy a network of charge stations to provide consumers with the ability to keep their electric vehicles (EV) charged and functional at all times. Project Better Place and its partners will also source the electric cars and batteries that will be compatible with the charging network, and will subsidize vehicle costs through leases and credits.
