Electrolux has released the next expression from their artful appliances idea with a new online film from Saatchi & Saatchi Thailand that demonstrates the artistic capability of its washing machines.
Collaborating with upcoming Thai experimental artist Pitchanan Sornyen, and production company Wakeup Rabbit, ‘Washing: Re-Imagined’ uses the magic of art and the power of imagination to highlight appliance product features in a way not done before. Washing functions like Time Manager, Vapour Action and Refresh Cycle are used to create a piece of unique art that will be showcased by Electrolux at a later date.
"Most advertisements for washing machines treat appliances like commodities,” said Nuntawat Chaipornkaew, Executive Creative Director of Saatchi & Saatchi. “With Electrolux, we wanted to showcase the product with creativity and mystery to show that there is a lot more to the appliance than people expect."
‘Washing: Re-Imagined’ follows the success of Saatchi & Saatchi Thailand’s previous film for Electrolux that captured the first piece of art in the world created with a vacuum cleaner. ‘The Power to Capture Imagination’ film has received more than 1 million views on YouTube.

Whitehouse Post editor Barney Miller teamed up with The Martin Agency to cut two exciting spots celebrating the launch of Benjamin Moore’s new Fenway Collection. The campaign includes both a TV commercial and a web film, and debuts a paint color matching that of the ballpark’s legendary left field wall, the Green Monster.
In the web film “Monster Surprise” a little league team discovers that their home field has been repainted to look like the Green Monster at Fenway Park, while the TV spot “Bring It Home” playfully jumps between familiar neighborhood sights that have been painted in that famous shade of Monster green. And for every gallon purchased, Benjamin Moore will help to renovate youth league ballparks throughout the Boston area. Both spots were directed by Element’s Alec Sutherland and feature the Red Sox’s signature song, “Dirty Water” by The Standells.

Lucky Post’s Sai Selvarajan was tapped to create a new show open for the series Frame of Mind, which airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. on KERA TV. The series, newly expanded into a full 13-episode season, showcases the work of independent filmmakers and video-makers and features a wide range of innovative media produced in or by Texans.
Sai Selvarajan and frequent collaborator Johnny Rutledge concepted and crafted the show open, which captures the spirit of the program and the work it showcases. “We wanted it to feel eclectic and dense, starting at a macro level and going wider as a representation of the creative process,” explains Selvarajan. Rutledge illustrated the man’s head, which was given an animated feel using an in-camera, stop motion approach. Elements of filmmaking - literal and conceptual - fill out the piece, which was edited by Selvarajan at Lucky Post. The music is by The Paper Chase, generously provided by the band’s former singer and popular music producer John Congleton.
“I’ve worked with Sai Selvarajan and Johnny Rutledge on a number of projects,” says Frame of Mind co-producer Bart Weiss, director of the Dallas Video Festival. “They always do an incredible job, but this may be their finest. The open perfectly contextualizes the series by illuminating the mindset of the filmmaker.”
In addition to the Show Open, Sai Selvarajan’s short film Duchamp – art directed by Johnny Rutledge - will air on the final installment of Frame of Mind. Concepted and written by Sai Selvarajan and Mark Coppage, Duchamp is a silent film about the power of music that stars real life husband and wife Aleksa Palladino (Manny & Lo, Boardwalk Empire) and musician Devon Church who make up the band Exitmusic.

Coca-Cola wanted to say thank you to those who make the world a little happier. Ogilvy & Mather, NY created The Wearable Movie — an interactive film that you not only watch but actually star in.
Each individual frame of the film was printed on a t-shirt, and sent around the world with a personalized thank you note. The recipients were asked to take a photo wearing the shirt and upload it to http://wearablemovie.com.
There, hundreds of frames were pieced together to create The Wearable Movie. It told the tale of two friends, and their dog, who do whatever it takes to create happiness and put a smile on a pair of lips.

Charles Saatchi has always been a proponent of controversial British art, but there is one particularly provocative artwork on the market that that he definitely won’t want in his collection.
A young British artist (who prefers to remain anonymous) has created a life-size model of Saatchi with a hand outstretched ready to choke anyone who cares to interact with the piece. The work is entitled ‘Playful Tiff’ — the words Charles Saatchi used to describe the infamous incident where he put his hand around his wife Nigella Lawson’s neck at Scott’s restaurant in London. Viewers of ‘Playful Tiff’ are invited to place their neck in Saatchi’s hand and capture the moment by taking a photo on their mobile phones.
In line with the devilish persona that Saatchi has adopted to promote his book ‘Be The Worst You Can Be’, the model is bright red and replete with horns.
The artwork is currently on display at the Jealous Gallery In Crouch End in London.

Premium distiller Jura is teasing fans of its whisky with a new campaign showing an artist’s impression of people tasting a thirty-nine-and-three-quarter-year old whisky, ahead of its launch next year. James Kirkham, Holler founding partner, said: “Our Jura activity is going to have a focus on breaking convention and not resorted to tried and tested category norms. This is a great first example of instant, smart, socially inspired promotions which ignite passion and get people talking.” A video of the event is below, and tweeters of a legal drinking age are in with a chance to win a vial of The 39 ¾ by retweeting it.
Creative agency Holler is behind the online and experiential campaign, called ‘Visual Taste of 39 ¾s’, which had its beginnings at the Jura Whisky Festival, where attendees were given an exclusive chance to taste the special tipple. Artist Robbie’s Brown Shoes, of the Puck Collective, was on hand to capture the reactions of the tasters and his creations are now being shown on Jura’s Facebook page, as well as distributed via Twitter.
Toronto's Bata Shoe Museum, one of the world's largest and most comprehensive collection of shoes and footwear-related artifacts recently had the "Out of the Box; The Rise of Sneaker Culture" exhibition created and designed by famed international designer Karim Rashid that documents the sneaker history from the 1800's to today.
Eventscape was brought in to engineer, fabricate, and install the complete exhibition; literally from the floor finish up to the ceiling. To showcase the prized sneakers, the sleek design incorporates 32 translucent pedestals, a 40 foot long display case, an acrylic entrance screen, five integrated inset wall displays, and seamless printed graphics throughout. The primary challenge was to engineer a system that would meet all the rigorous museum grade structural requirements of security, accessibility and durability while adhering to the narrow budget of a one-year long exhibit. Eventscape was able to achieve this without sacrificing the clean, flowing aesthetic of the design. Below, check out a cool time lapse of the 3rd floor gallery being transformed from an empty space to the exhibition itself.
