Wow. I have only really got back to the studio this week, the floor was quite dusty! We have been on out travels, supporting events in Frankfurt IMEX, a conference about conferences – seems a bit like Being John Malkovich going inside his own head. We were also in London supporting the Open Mobile Summit, I will put some images up here when they are processed.

I really should have posted the Zimbardo video up here when we completed it but the RSA You Tube channel is getting a lot of hits for the Animates, which is really encouraging for us!

We are currently working on ’storymapping’ Matthew Taylor’s keynote to be delivered on the 17th at the RSA. We will post up video of that live event and also the Animate from the talk too, when it’s up and ready. We are also working on talks by David Harvey and Slavoj Zizec, both on capitalism.

Anyway this post is meant to be about Mr Zimbardo and the great work Oliver did on making the animate. Well done Ollie, this is really great stuff!

In April we were asked to attend the Sustainability Live Conference at the Birmingham NEC to help support Arup at their stand. We helped them to build a large picture ‘vision of the future’  encapsulating thoughts and ideas from the conference goers about what a future transport system and ultimately a city of the future might look like. We split the image into three main areas – Problems, Desires and Solutions. We took three artists with us to the conference as we needed to finish the drawing in on the day and leave it therefor the rest of the conference. 

It was handy to have one of us interview the public and Scribe visually capture what they said and feed back those ideas to the other two artists in order they could visually incorporate those ideas into the big picture. Arup have their own page to showcase the conference, which you can see if you click here.

Here’s the final piece in all it’s coloured-in ness.
