We were asked by Atletico International to convert their stunning new Campaign for REPLAY your fragrance! into the Realm of the Digital. ‘One Drop of Water Can Replay Your Fragrance.’ - A Brand Promise based on technical Research culminating in this new Fragrance. Our initial Launch Pad: the spectacular Watercolour Drawings by Artist Stina Persson. PSYOP NY used flowing Colours to reproduce the Art Work for the TVC. We took the Idea a step further: we reverse-engineered the Drawing Process and developed a Tool that allows each User to create their own Watercolour Painting. Replay your Fragrance. Repaint your Image - and spread it!
Dark

A Big Idea that works perfectly across different Touch Points. Unfortunately, not all our Ideas made it into the first Campaign Flight. Ideas about Gesture-Based Interactive Digital Shop Windows, Public Life Painting Projections and iPhone apps are still waiting to get replayed.

REPLAY your fragrance!

Semi-Permanent
Spark

Design is Kinky is publishing the new Edition of their Annual Semi-Permanent Books which will be used during their upcoming Semi-Permanent Events in Melbourne and Perth.

‘But what is Semi-Permanent? First of all, Semi-Permanent is a Design Event. In Addition to a Major Conference, there are a Number of Side Events taking Place including Exhibitions, Competitions, Workshops and Parties. In other Words, it’s a Week long Celebration of all Things ‘Design’. From Graphic Design, Film, Art and Illustration, to Web Design, Photography and Visual Effects, to Animation, Graffiti, Motion Graphics and Stop Motion; all these Things and More.’

Dark

‘Gospel’ is a 2-part Design I developed exclusively for this Book. But as is so often the Case, there’s no Guarantee that the Piece will make it into the final Selection. The Deadline is October, so let’s see. Meanwhile, I’ll crack on.

On Set during a Product Shoot for La Prairie, the Photographer Attila Hartwig and I developed the Idea to incorporate Mind Maps into liquid Surfaces and, at the same Time, photographically document the Processes of Overlapping and Transformation of these Mind Snippets.

The Idea didn’t survive long, it simply failed the Reality Check. But in Return this Series of Images originated from our initial Concept - a Gift of manipulated Chance.

Storylines instead of Borderlines

Feature

David Zheng, Founder of Hong Kong based NewWebPick.com
invited me to participate in ‘Crossover Design’, the first printed Form
of the NewWebPick Electronic Magazine. I’m delighted to be featured
in this Interview and more than a little proud to be represented
by these Images.

‘‘Crossover’ is not only a trendy Expression in the international Fashion Community
but has also conquered the Design World with its incomparable Magnetism. Designers
have crossed over from their customary Field of Expertise to a new Design Field, and
created a sparkling and magnetic Feeling by blending Elements that either had nothing
to do with one another, or at odds and, even completely opposed at Times.’

Volkswagen is launching a global MicroSite to support their Cross-Media ‘BlueMotion Technologies’ Campaign. We’ve developed a storytelling Approach that follows three Drivers in three international Cities who are given Advice about environmentally aware Driving and Cost Saving on their Way through heavy Road Traffic. The biggest Challenge: How do we connect the three Stories authentically with each other but without going beyond our Budget for the Job.
Spark

We found a Solution in creating Filmic Compositions that are made of High Resolution Photographic Images. Shooting in Berlin, Munich based Photographer Frank Bauer took three stunning, greatly atmospheric Series, which Art Directors Heiko Keppel and Corinna Vidic then mounted in a reduced Layout employing Split-Screen Technique and Animation Dramaturgy.

The most fanatical Supporters of the best Symphony Orchestra in the World live in the United States and East Asia, where Concerts and entire Tours are sold-out Years in advance. So, why not built a Digital Concert Hall - as a Substitute for the confined Space - that offers existing and new classical Music Lovers around the World to discover a unique Experience of Live-Streaming Concerts in the highest possible Quality? A great Honour for us to take on such an innovative and creative Challenge for this exciting Brand. The first specialised Online Classic Portal, Live and in Full-HD.

‘That’s how Web TV for large cultural Institutions should look like.’
LeadAcademy Principal Markus Peichl

‘Then there’s the Digital Concert Hall: the most successful Orchestral Live-Streaming Project on the Web. It’s a Sign of the Times that the World’s most tradition-bound Ensemble is now a Web Trailblazer, opening up the hallowed Halls of Berlin’s Philharmonie to an infinitely wider Audience.’ The Guardian

Spark

The basic Idea for both the Layout and Motion Aesthetics of the Application derive from a Realtime Concert Experience and encounter with Hans Sharoun’s complex yet balanced, democratic and timeless architectural Work. Quoting Max Frisch: ‘I feel guided as if walking through a Labyrinth, - guided, not lost – guided by the Spirit of the Space itself. Guided by the Pleasure that unfolds. […] beguilingly guided by the Architect’s Wit.’

The La Prairie Styleguide is tough. Like in classic Swiss Design, the applicable Design Elements are limited to the very Basics. Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

In the Digital Space however, classic Design Categories are extended in the Dimensions of Time, Space and Interaction. The following are two different Approaches for the new La Prairie Online Appearance:
Capture the Magic! Move around the Sculptural Arrangements and marvel at their Beauty. Stop Time for a Moment and indulge in the Magic of La Prairie! And an Analogy to a successful Retail and La Prairie Outlet Practice: a Celebration of the Icons in a virtual Treasure Chest - an illuminated Cube.

We set out to re-shape the Jewel Brand of the Beauty Industry and eventually won over La Prairie’s Interactive Marketing Budget. The general Approach was to create a fresh, clean state-of-the-art Design that implies Credibility, Precision and Attention to Detail like a Swiss Clockwork. Its true seductive Magic, however, unfolds beneath the Surface. The Images were created in Cooperation with the Berlin based Photographer Attila Hartwig.

A tough, two-stage Beauty Contest that kept us in Suspense for more than five Months. The most fascinating Aspect: In the second Stage we were challenged to a Layout Duel by a French Agency highly rewarded in the Beauty and Fashion Industry. The Decision eventually did go in our Favour though, because of the genuine Look and the understanding we showed towards the Brand’s Requests. According to La Prairie: ‘The best One won!’

Our Assignment seemed simple enough at first: to bring the new German Fanta Campaign ‘Drink Fanta, live more colorfully’ to life on the Web.
But we knew that bringing more Color into the real Lives of our Users would take more Effort than just splashing some Orange around. Besides, we wanted to do more.
So we claimed the entire digital Space as Fanta’s Playground. We built multiple Platforms: a Microsite on MySpace, a Homepage Takeover on bravo.de, and of course a Campaign Annex on fanta.de. Rounding out our Multi-Platform Approach were Newsletters and a massive Banner Campaign.
Dark
As is so often the Case in a World where the Digital Agency gets briefed only after the Ad Campaign has already been invented somewhere else, we were tasked to make the global Idea work in Germany and gave Tonality, Setting and Characteristics of the Story a clever Twist for the Requirements of our Market.

The visual Universe of the new global Brand Campaign ‘The Coke side of life’ is truly amazing - a mind-blowing TVC {‘Happiness Factory’ by Wieden/PSYOP} and the illustrative Sixties Splash Style developed by AKQA. But the Question now was how to combine such solitary Components and turn them into a seamless, digital Experience for German Coke Fans?

‘Best Online Adaptation of a Coke Campaign and first international Trial of a Commercial Use of a Web 2.0-platform in the Coke Universe.’ Mark Greatrex, SVP Marketing Communications and Insights

‘Long-term Brand Platform offering Opportunities way beyond your average integrated One-Off, incorporating Music, Art and Online.’ Contagious 13

‘It was, amongst other Things, just the right Time for Coca-Cola to operate the target-group-specific Development of the Brand through the Web. That’s where the Impulse springs from now, the conventional Sector today becomes less and less important.’ PAGE 01/07

Spark

‘Freedom within a Framework’ was our Motto. A Firework of dynamic Contents alongside a subtle Animation Concept paid off and made the Site not merely a Success but a Master Sample for various local Market Adaptations.

Seen as a global Language, Football can at its best turn Enemies into Opponents.
After pitching successfully, we were given the challenging Task to play a Part in contributing to the transnational Identity with the Online Campaign ‘WE ALL SPEAK FOOTBALL’. The Aim was to establish Coke as Fan-Brand Number One at the FIFA WM™ 2006.

The Fans and their Enthusiasm are at the Core of the Campaign - both in Form and Content. Drawing on a highly aesthetical visual Language that works on an emotional Level but abandons national Stereotypes or Clichés, we allowed for a multi-ethnic Response that reflected and appreciated the universal Passion for the Sport. Developed in eleven different Languages, the global Rollout was composed of ten Modules for sixty markets.

The Black Hit of Space

A Collaboration between Jan Pautsch.Lilienthal, Veysel Oender {Amok} and Roman März.

“‘The Black Hit of Space’ is an Experiment, an experimental Design Set Up in order to find out what emerges from the close Collaboration between a Photographer, an Ex-Writer and an Artist. What happens, if three individual forms of artistic Expression co-occupy a Space? And, what if the title ‘The Black Hit of Space’ serves as the Inspiration to the Project? The Outcome is a room-encompassing Installation - both attacking and absorbing. An interplay of Forces, that distinctively continues in our further Projects.”

“The Magic that derives from electronic Devices within the Process of creating Reality - including Art - is reduced on the Surface and, eventually, obliterated. Taking apart the Object’s visual and functional Integrity, the Artist equally causes the Disappearance of some sort of semantic Profile. Lilienthal’s Cut isolates the Spectator from the visual Experience by using a Rewind-Mode. One can’t see, or can hardly see, anything. At this crucial Point, the Artist [such as Siegfried and Roy] tries to catch all the People within the Audience who do not believe in Magic.”

‘She had to be condensed and inscribed in a Way that his Expectations of what he wanted her to be, {and what he wanted to be too} could at least be possibly, even remotely, realized. Overdetermination was Part of his Plan and in a strange Way, the same kind of psychological After-Life was what he loved, sometimes double loved about her Picture.’ Richard Prince: The Perfect Tense, Why I Go to the Movies Alone, Tanam Press, N.Y. 1983

Lovesong

I grew up in the former East Berlin.

This Life behind the Curtain taught me: There’s no Magic in Magic!

So I started to study the seven Basic Principles of Magic:

Palm, Ditch, Steal, Simulation, Load, Misdirection and Switch.

And I was conditioned by a sort of constant Negation

which sparked my Obsession with flawless Surfaces

that suddenly spring Cracks.

So I was always somehow more interested in the Deconstruction

of Images than in their Production.

That’s why Graphic Design doesn’t interest me.

But that’s also why Art somehow became my Buddy.

Later I fell in Love with Art’s Siamese Twin, Advertising -

you Beautiful Art of Capitalist Popculture.

For me, the Beauty of my Job lies in:

The Leap of the Imagination with

a commercial Consequence.

{Thanks, Fallon}

I am involved in Times of Change again. New, light Speedboats

confuse the heavy Tanks of Convention.

Strategies of Art, Design, Advertisement, Fashion,

Science, Culture and Street interfere and collide.

I remain hungry for simple and credible Stories for the right People

for the right Brand and with the right Opportunity.

I am starving for visual Narratives - they twist my Reality.

They serve as Lovesongs, Songs of Magic.
