Else Mobile (The Time Has Come)

Created for Else Mobile Phones as half viral campaign, half official website content and commissioned by The Visionaire Group in LA. ‘The Time Has Come’ acts as an intro for the new mobile device. The entire campaign was shot on location in downtown LA and California.

“Humans and data become closer. Technology was supposed to make our lives easier. Instead our live grow more complicated…”

“The Else UI can be operated by one hand in the one for the terminal of the overall touch panel. For instance, it can be operated to hold a strap. The one that manner of operation traces concentric circle menu displayed as shown in pie chart.” (via wirelesswatch.jp)

“You are one third as productive in open-plan offices as in quiet rooms. And I have a tip for you. If you have to work in spaces like that, carry headphones with you, with a soothing sound like birdsong. Put them on and your productivity goes back up to triple what it would be.”

Photos from “Landscape of oil” by Edward Burtinsky

“… and I feel that all of us need to now begin to really take the task of using our talents, our ways of thinking, to begin to deal with what I think is probably  one of the most challenging issues of our time, how to deal with our energy crisis.

And I would like to say that, on the other side of it, 30, 40 years from now, the children that I have, I can look at them and say, ‘We did everything we possibly, humanly could do, to begin to mitigate this, what I feel is one of the most important and critical moments in our time’… “

The litl - A startup from boston delivers a fresh netbook design approach.

It runs a custom (Gnome based) Linux with a slick interface shaped by Pentagram. Basically all things on the litl happen in the browser and live cloud.

I really like its elegant simplicity. It takes a lot of work, nerves and guts to deliver such a simple interface.

“Teamarbeit hat durchaus ihre Berechtigung. Aber sie ist nicht unbedingt der Schlüssel zu mehr Kreatitvität… Um kreativ zu sein, braucht man Zeit, um zu denken. Und zwar ganz für sich.”
