Crash Corsage helps you crash any wedding, anywhere, anytime. By collecting data from the open directories of personal wedding site providers, Crash Corsage creates filtered lists of nearby weddings. It then cleanly arranges important information such as what you need to wear, how the couple met, location of their party, and everything else you might need to grab a drink or a one night stand. Built-in challenges encourage users to compete against other crashers, while photo galleries and checklists let people show off their chops. It’s more than a crash course in wedding crashing, it’s Crash Corsage.

IKEA – Catch the Swedish light on Vimeo on Vimeo

Here is a really interesting way to run a competition using YouTube videos. IKEA Belgium wanted to celebrate the Swedish mid-summer vibe, a time when sales are usually pretty flat for them in Belgium, so they created a series of product based videos called “Catch The Swedish Light”.

The stop motion videos showcased the latest range of IKEA products, of course, but from there, it was all about tracking through the video frame by frame to pause it on the exact moment “The Swedish Light” perfectly illuminated the products, then capturing the random code on that frame (you’ll know because it goes yellow!) and inserting it on the campaign site for validation.

There were 48 videos, and the first person to validate a code won that product instantly, and along the way it helped raise IKEA’s sales in an otherwise pretty flat period. Really smart use of video!

This is a year-long time-lapse study of the sky. A camera installed on the roof of the Exploratorium museum in San Francisco captured an image of the sky every 10 seconds. From these images, I created a mosaic of time-lapse movies, each showing a single day. The days are arranged in chronological order. My intent was to reveal the patterns of light and weather over the course of a year.

The Scion Surface Experience is a unique interactive installation for the 2011/2012 Auto Show season that enables exploration of the brand’s product, racing and cultural affiliations in an unexpected way.

JUXT created a deck of eight unique cards that interact with a touch-based Surface table, and teamed up with fine artists from around the world and musicians from Scion’s A/V label to make the cards as collectible as they are functional.

When a card is placed on the surface, the table reveals photos, video content, regional sales info, and localized events. When the card is flipped over, it triggers a piece of a song (e.g. beats, bass or vocals). Placing all eight cards on the Surface at the same time plays the full song and gives guests a chance to remix the song in their own way, reinforcing the self-expression that is core to the Scion brand. Guests can also take their cards home and use them to download digital content related to the Auto Show experience.

The Scion Surface Experience is offered in four distinct installations, presenting collaborative play that also allows guests to explore each vehicle and the Scion brand as a whole.
