Wall Painted Wall Animation By BLU

Posted: 29 Jul 2011 08:18 PM PDT



This video features some amazing animation painted directly on walls around Buenos Aires and Baden. Graffiti artist and animator BLU is responsible for the mess, which somehow seems to clean up behind itself as the animation runs down the street, leaving a whitewash in its wake. The video even features a slick soundtrack that syncs perfectly with MUTO's movements across the wall. Enjoy!

Weekly Address: Compromise on Behalf of the American People

The White House Your Daily Snapshot for
Saturday, July 30, 2011
 

Weekly Address: Compromise on Behalf of the American People

President Obama urges both Republicans and Democrats to take action to avoid defaulting for the first time in our nation's history. 

Watch the video.

 

Weekly Wrap Up

Your quick look at happened this week on WhiteHouse.gov

Deficit Talks: The President spoke throughout the week on the importance of compromise, telling Congress “it’s important for everybody to step up and show the leadership that the American people expect.” He encouraged the American people to make their voices heard during his Monday address to the nation. Many Americans are wondering how the country is spending $12.7 trillion this year, so we created an infographic that details the impact policies and programs implemented over the last 10 years are having on our nation's bottom line.

White House Office Hours: We've been trying something new on our social networks: Senior administration officials have been holding "Office Hours" to answer questions on the ongoing deficit debate. We've been using the hashtag #WHChat  on Twitter, where White House staff have been responding in real-time (using only 140 characters per answer) during Office Hours. Why don't you join us next week?

Fuel Standards: The President announced the next phase in his national vehicle program, which will increase fuel economy to 54.5 miles per gallon for cars and light-duty trucks by 2025. The new standards will save American families $1.7 trillion at the pump, or $8K per vehicle. These programs will also dramatically cut the oil we consume, saving a total of 12 billion barrels of oil, and by 2025 will reduce oil consumption by 2.2 million barrels a day – as much as half of the oil we import from OPEC every day. New label requirements mean average gas savings, environmental impact, and more will be included on all dealer stickers. You can read the full report here.

Athletes Unite: 2010 World Series Champions, the San Francisco Giants, visited the White House. President Obama congratulated them on their triumph and complimented their commitment to community service. The Giants were the first team to join the It Gets Better campaign, and while here, they took time to thank our Facebook/Twitter followers for their own service commitments. We also had a visit from some Wounded Warriors, who played a game of hoops on the the South Lawn, teaming up with NBA players Greg Monroe and Jeff Green.

Transnational Crime: The Administration unveiled a comprehensive, cutting-edge strategy to Combat Transnational Organized Crime.  "This new strategy [will] allow us to integrate our work more effectively, and to leverage limited resources more efficiently, it also will ensure that our agencies – and our government and law enforcement partners – have the tools and authorities necessary to protect the American people from some of today’s most urgent, and complex, threats."

Seth's Blog : "It will be good exposure"

"It will be good exposure"

Well, it might be.

Now that everyone, every brand, every organization and just about every person is in a race to build trust or an online following or a reputation, the question of working for free in exchange for exposure confronts us all.

Should you art direct a new ad for the local zoo, merely to build your cred? Should you give that speech for free, because people who pay speakers will be in the audience? Should you contribute code to the new kernel because people will see what you've done? Appear on a talk show, do a signing, call in to a radio show?

Perhaps.

Unsatisfying, but true.

Exposure, the right kind of exposure, is good practice, an honest contribution and yes, a chance to build credibility. Make it a habit, though, and instead of exposure, you've set yourself up a new standard-- that you work for free.

Alas, one more decision you need to make.

Some designers (and authors) violently disagree with my case by case approach... they think the entire profession is cheapened by spec work and work for exposure--they argue that solidarity is the only response. I'll point out that these very designers belong to organizations that ask speakers to speak for free... for exposure.

If you're an unpublished author, you're certainly better off doing a lot of writing online (even entire novels given away) for free before you veer in the direction of doing it for a living. In fact, most people I know (in every field) don't do nearly enough work for free, they're not contributing enough to their community, not adding their expertise or their ideas to the conversation. As a result, they're either invisible or seen as not interested.

Punchline: just because it's free doesn't mean it's a good idea (or a bad one). It means you should think hard about how everyone benefits (including you). [PS a video from last year you might enjoy, complete with Y! tie.]
