The Strange Commercial

[imomus]

My new piece for Design Observer is about some strange and beautiful old commercials you can watch on the web. It focuses on films by Charles Wilp and Serge Lutens for Afri-Cola and Shiseido.

Oh, and check out today's Art Harbour sound. It's a tiny morsel of buzz taken from one of the Shiseido commercials and run through some pitch and tempo effects so that it becomes an entire symphony. It's one I'm quite proud of.

i've always wondered about those nuns after taking a photo of an afri poster hanging in a little walk-by beer window/shop in prenzlauer berg ... i always call it Live Nudes but i have no idea if that's the real name or just an odd sign in the window.

what an amazing thing to see this commercial now.

thank you for posting this.
