Pay Per Laugh
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."

Zero - concept son of Vespa and Segway
Barcelona-based studio Bel & Bel wanted to merge two of their favorite things, Vespa scooters and Segways. Thus, they created the Vespa Segway. Making the popular self-balancing personal vehicle look like a Vespa, it definitely captures the hearts of Vespa lovers who want to take it just a little slower.

Artworks by Antonio Mora
"Spain-based artist Antonio Mora describes his artwork as "cocktails," amalgams of images found on blogs, databases, and magazines, fused seamlessly into the types of imagery that could only come from a serious lucid dreamer. Whether it's a forest melting into a woman's face, or someone's hair exploding into a slash of water, the dreamy portraits are tough to get out of your head." via

En Puntas by Javier Pérez
A trailer for the short film "En Puntas" directed by Javier Pérez. The ballerina (Amélie Ségarra, french dancer), whose pointe shoes are extended by a set of sharp kitchen knives, dances and twirls insistently until reaching exhaustion, fighting to maintain balance on the lid of a grand piano set on a stage. Through this work, Javier Perez investigates and reflects once again upon the human condition. Using a strongly metaphorical language rich in powerful symbolism, he reveals the weaknesses that become the boundaries between seemingly irreconcilable concepts such as: beauty and cruelty, fragility and violence, culture and nature or life and death.
