Experience Mobile Mobile

Experience Mobile Mobile from James Théophane Jnr on Vimeo.

Lost Boys (an Interactive Agency) invited me to do something for their agency Christmas card.

We took this as an opportunity to reinterpret the Christmas tree and its role as the traditional focal point for a communal space. 'Mobile Mobile' is a six metre circumference interactive sculpture, and signature piece for the entrance of the Lost Boys London Brick Lane studio.

To cut a long story short, after a company-wide upgrade the agency had a lot of old mobiles gathering dust. We took these, built and hoisted a gigantic interactive chandelier/mobile that plays Christmas jingles in their reception.

To add a little xmas spice to the mix, anyone could go online, compose and play their own jingle (and enjoy annoying the hell out of people waiting around in the reception). This was achieved by playing the thing live, using your computer keyboard from a web browser.

Details on how we made it and some behind the scenes content are available on my blog: http://www.theophane.co.uk/mobile-mobile

Mobile Mobile has been made as a semi-permanent hanging (exhibition) space. In January the mobiles will be replaced with another hanging media, then updated month in, month out.

Mobile Mobile is just one in a line of many great lo-fi art/build concepts; from the Design Museum's Aquarium, Digital By Design, Troika and The Cloud, the Printer Bleeping Thingy (I can't remember who did it), all the great work by W+K, and of course, AKQA's wonderful microwaves from last Christmas.

Looking forward to many more to come.

Pure Bronte

PURE BRONTE from Marcus O'Brien on Vimeo.

Another massive winter swell hit Sydney's coast over the last week generating monster sized waves putting on an impressive display of power and beauty along the coastline.



People spend hours and hours perched atop the cliffs at Bronte (pronounced Bron-tee) marvelling at the sheer power of the waves crashing to shore whilst observing surfers taking on the big swells. What do people think about as they look out onto the huge swells rolling in and crashing up against the shore? Always wondered.... and how therapeutic it is for so many people.



As it was a southerly swell generated by a huge low pressure system off Tasmania only a couple of Sydney's city beaches are rideable for the surfers - Bronte, my favourite beach and local, being one of them.



This is PURE BRONTE.....

Amsterdam canals were invaded by gorgeous girls in bikini. All of them were Stand-Up-Paddling and wearing an O’Neill Superkini. This excellent initiative was sponsored by O'Neill and Elle. Professional kiteboarder Jalou Langeree was among the girls.
