This is a demo video of Phone Painter, one of three applications of Sprint Center Interactive Wall. All you have to do is just call the number on display and speak to your phone to draw. It will even send you a text with a link to the art you drew after you hang up. Although I was using my iPhone on the demo, it works with any phones of any carriers! (It doesn’t have to be Sprint phones or any smart phones.) To learn more about the project, please see vimeo.com/4025588

Since a couple of months ago, I’ve started to contribute one page column titled One’s View for Japanese monthly magazine “Web Designing“.

Apparently Ten Thousand Cents has been selected as a finalist in the Experimental category for SXSW Web Awards. We are very flattered!!

Ten Thousand Cents was awarded Bronze Prize and Adobe Prize for Yahoo! Japan Internet Creative Award, and selected as Jury Recommended Works for 2008 Japan Media Arts Festival. The project will be exhibited during the festival (Feb 4th to 15th 2009) at the National Art Center Tokyo. How exciting!!

I was asked by agency Kessels Kramer in Amsterdam to develop a short video using the Ampersand, a symbolic mark of J&B. Here is the video I created.

Friend of mine found this article on Japanese advertisement magazine 広告批評 (Koukoku-Hihyou). I’ve had the opportunity to get involved in this TV commercial over last summer with awesome Goodby co-workers. We worked with a talented Japanese director Koichiro Tsujikawa (he is famous for Cornelius music videos) and we shot in Tokyo.

The other speakers are Graffiti Research Lab, North Kingdom, Tota Hasegawa from Tomato and, Assistant. It was such an inspiring experience. Belows are some photos from the event. More photos are here. Thanks again Kurita-san.
