Amon Tobin Gets Squared in LA

Amon Tobin is an amazing Brazilian musician, composer and producer of electronic music. A true contemporary artist, Tobin has released seven major studio albums since 1996 under the London-based Ninja Tune record label, but also scored movies and video-games. For his latest tour, he has teamed up with Blasthaus, LA-based visual arts shop V Squared Labs, Vita Motus Design, Leviathan and others to create something really unique: A 3D Audion/Visual experience that is so much more than a DJ-set. Check out the video below to see what I'm talking about!

Lexus L Studio - Mixes Contemporary Art and Autos

In this excellent piece of branded entertainment, Artists deconstruct a Lexus, then use the parts to build their own amazing works of art. BMW has used online video featuring artists and cars for a long time, but Lexus has found an own story to tell and the website for the campaign L Studio is very scaled back and classy, which is the way to market an exclusive automobile. Well worth checking out. BTW, my company Viking's work with IKEA on Easy To Assemble was named as one of five best branded entertainment deals of the year for 2009 in Ad Age. Very happy about that. And last, but not least, Happy New Year!
