"Paris & NY, like many large cities, have a lot in common ; transport, infrastructure, national monuments. I wanted to explore not only these comparisons but also the differences, in order to expose the beauty and individuality of each. What you cannot deny is the vibrancy and explosion of character each city has and I thought split-screen with timelapse would be a good way to help convey this." says director Franck Matellini.

IKEA have taken the famous scene from The Shining where Danny rolls around on his trike and inserted that same ominous fear into their own store. That's kind of an epic homage to Stanley Kubrick’s horror classic.

Last year the Spanish government decided to raise the tax for theatrical shows from 8% to 21%, resulting in a fall in audience attendance of 30% in one year. In response to this, Teatreneu, a comedy club in Barcelona has partnered with advertising agency The Cyranos McCann and came up with an ingenious new way to get people back through the door.
"Pay per Laugh is a new project that charges audience members according to how much they laugh at a show. Using facial-recognition technology installed in iPads attached to the back of seats, a count is made of how often each person laughs. This data is then sent to a server which creates and monitors the statistics. Audience members are offered free admittance but are charged €0.30 per laugh. However, the price for laughter is capped at €24."

"To celebrate the opening of Diesel’s flagship store in Rome, POSTmatter magazine collaborated with Berlin based artist digital artist Andreas Nicholas Fischer to create an abstract digital organism that envelops its audience as they enter the store."
"POSTroma is an installation that draws from topographical data taken from maps of Rome. This data creates the starting point from which Fischer’s impressionistic forms can grow, the installations growth and movements are based upon the use of #rome and #roma online. Each time the hashtag ‘#POSTroma’ is used on Twitter, a unique response will be tweeted back to each individual user. A specially programmed algorithm created by Fischer will generate a haiku poem and a striking screenshot of the in-store visual mutation at that moment, both of which will be delivered directly to the Twitter account of the original user." via Protein
