Superflux: Drone Aviary

Superb new futures research from Superflux, which dares to look “into a near-future city co-habit with ‘intelligent’ semi autonomous, networked, flying machines.

The Drone Aviary reveals fleeting glimpses of the city from the perspective of drones. It explores a world where the ‘network’ begins to gain physical autonomy. Drones become protagonists, moving through the city, making decisions about the world and influencing our lives in often opaque yet profound ways.

The installation will be displayed within the V&A Civic Objects display at their “All Of This Belongs To You” show, running from 1st April to 19th July 2015 in London.

Quite impressed with how PwC has gone about pursuing digital storytelling with their brand campaign titled extraordinary capturing the complexities of the environments, clients, markets and customers that form the basis of PwC's work.

The microsite - extraordinary.pwc.com is an interactive site blending animation, user experience, motion graphics, text and sound design. 

Enjoy and be sure to turn the volume up.

He even alluded to this with an analogy that I only fully grokked years later. He said, as creative people, we carry a bag of Lego with us. And every experience we have is a block of Lego that goes into the bag. And as we tread this earth, and as we live, the Lego pieces bounce around our bags and sometimes snaps together in new and wonderful combinations. The trick, if you follow his analogy, was to fill your bag with as many Lego pieces as you can to maximise the opportunity for as many new ideas to form in your head as possible.

As written by Leon Jacobs in 10 lessons I learnt from a career in advertising.

Also, I learnt a new word: grok (absolutely love this word now.

This is what I found when I looked it up. 

grok |ɡrɒk| verb (groks, grokking, grokked) [ with obj. ] US informal understand (something) intuitively or by empathy: corporate leaders seemed to grok this concept fairly quickly.• [ no obj. ] establish a rapport. nestling earth couple would like to find water brothers to grok within peace.

Love that.
