Shepard Fairey: Obey Giant

Frank Shepard Fairey, Obey, es un artista y diseñador gráfico estadounidense, famoso por sus pegatinas con la imagen del luchador televisivo André el Gigante y por sus diseños que toman elementos del cartelismo de propaganda política de mediados del Siglo XX.


Incluyendo lemas como "Piensa y crea, imprime y destruye", que mezclan lo subversivo con el entretenimiento, su temática y estética viene a ser a menudo una mezcla entre caricatura y revival de la propaganda política, las ideas situacionistas y las revoluciones estético-filosóficas de los 60, trasfondos temáticos muy comunes en el arte de finales de los 90 y principios del presente siglo.


Su situación como artista es controvertida, manteniendo trabajos de diseño gráfico y publicidad con grandes marcas por un lado, y enfrentándose a detenciones en diversos países por vandalismo urbano con sus intervenciones, siendo de esta manera un representante marcado de la discusión sobre el papel del artista y su ideología en el momento presente de la historia de las sociedades capitalistas.


Reivindica el espacio público como espacio principal para la vida artística y cultural, proponiendo una crítica a la hegemonía estética y presencial de la publicidad, encabezada por las grandes corporaciones financieras.

Art is you

Una selección de poemas de Pedro Salinas fueron el origen de este cortometraje. El argumento propone un viaje mitológico. Expresa el deseo del hombre de parecerse a los dioses. La evasión. La creación. Lo onírico. La búsqueda de la inspiración. La lucha entre la gravedad y la levedad. El vuelo de la imaginación. Y al final, el ser humano es la verdadera Obra.

Fue seleccionado en el Notodofilmfest 2007 (organizado por canal +), REC 2007, Internacional de Jóvenes realizadores de Granada 2007 y el Barcelona Visualsound 2007.

Poken, tarjetas de visita digitales

Los Poken son pequeñas tarjetas de visita virtuales: compras tu Poken, le extraes la mano que esconde un USB que te conecta a la página, te registras y creas tu tarjeta de visita en la web: nombre, empresa, dirección, teléfono, twitter, facebook, tuenti… o cualquier otro dato que quieras que la gente tenga.

 Poken

Detalle Poken abierto

A partir de ese momento, sólo tienes que acercar la mano de tu Poken a cualquier otro Poken con el que desees compartir tu información y listo, intercambio digital de tarjetas instantáneo.

Poken intercambiando información

Tiene varias ventajas, pero dos de ellas especialmente buenas. La primera es que si tienes que cambiar algún dato, este se actualizará inmediatamente para todos tus contactos.
La segunda es que tus datos no son públicos, tú eliges quién quieres que los tenga.

Existen ya varios modelos diseñados con motivos y carcasas intercambiables e incluso por lo visto se pueden personalizar con los motivos que desees mediante pedido a la empresa que los fabrica o distribuye.

Por lo tanto se presentan como una opción para regalos de empresa en las cercanas fiestas comerciales-navideñas, debido a su bajo coste, unos 13€ la unidad. Veremos en que acaba todo esto... si queréis comprarlos ésta es la tienda virtual
