World Expo in Shanghai 2010

Lars Silberbauer — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 09:16:21 +0000

I went to Shanghai to the World Expo to give a speach on how we’re developing visualizations to the facade at the DR Concerthouse and to visit the Danish Pavillion made by BIG, Martin Professional and CAVI.
Great conference and an amazing world expo.

Just a couple of images from Shanghai, The Danish Pavillion and my talk at the conference.

Concerthouse All Pink

Lars Silberbauer — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 13:04:01 +0000

Just a couple of images of the Concerthouse illumination from last night. We’re changing the illumination everytime a major event is taking place in the Concerthouse and this time it is the Outgames’ Conference about human rights for gays and other minorities. The illumination will be on until wednesday from around 22:30 until 06:00.

Note to self:

Note to self: Don’t go down this road… use overlays and popups with extreme caution.

Er Adblocker-blok en farbar vej?

Klaus Silberbauer — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 17:32:37 +0000

BT og Berlingske har puttet et lille script på deres side, der kan se, om du anvender Adblocker til at fjerne bannerreklamer. Hvis du gør, så må du ikke bruge bt.dk eller berlingske.dk, næh nej.

Umiddelbart er det jo en forståelig reaktion fra et annoncedrevet, og absolut hårdt presset, mediehus. Og det er ganske i Berlingskes ret at håndhæve visse vilkår for brug af deres nyhedsservice.

Men er det smart? Jeg tror det ikke. Det er vel nemmere, at vælge berlingske.dk og bt.dk fra, end at leve med spam-agtige bannere på andre sites. Desuden kan blokeringen nemt omgås med Yesscript, hvor man blokere for BT’s blok af blokkeren. Og sådan kan våbenkapløbet optrappes. Det eneste Berlingske opnår, er et fald i trafik til skade for annoncepriserne.

Jeg tror det er en stakket frist for medier, der med en anklagende pegefinger skal gøre opmærksom på, at reklamerne skam er der for min egen skyld. De kan jo alligevel ikke tvinge mig til at klikke på dem.

Til gengæld lykkes det til fulde for Berlingske at reklamere for produktet Adblocker Plus, som nu ganske givet bliver installeret på adskillelige browsere landet over, efter at Markedsføring bragte historien om adblocker-blokaden på bt.dk og berlingske.dk.

Jeg holdt for nylig et foredrag, hvor jeg spåede bannerreklamens snarlige død. Jeg tror, vi er taget et skridt nærmere. Nye forretningsmodeller skal til. Jeg kan ikke give opskriften, men det er helt tydeligt, at god gammeldaws display-reklame har det meget, meget hårdt på nettet, simpelthen fordi de meget nemt kan vælges fra.

Kunde&Co(py)

Exhibit 1: Kunde&Co‘s campaign for the referendum on changing the Danish constitution. Paid for by the Danish government an thus pure royalistic propaganda. And a ripoff at the same time. This is wrong on so many levels:

Baekdal is absolutely right. Audi fucked up: Why only publish their (probably pretty costly) documentary on Les Mans 24 on iTunes only, and thus only in the US? A European brand makes a movie about a European event, and then only makes it available to recession-struck Americans. Dummkopfen.

The movie is paid for – why not just push it on Youtube and every other available channel? Get it out there!

Here’s the trailer, but you can’t see the real thing, unless you’re American. For some reason, Audi doesn’t want you to.

New York Times on Copenhagen Concerthouse

Lars Silberbauer — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 12:50:10 +0000

New York Times delivered a very good review of the Copenhagen Concerthouse. I’ve been creative project manager of the Blue Screen Video installation that is covering the whole building. So it’s really nice to see that the building has been noticed.

TodaysArt08 in Hague – video and images

Lars Silberbauer — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 20:11:57 +0000

A short report from ‘TodaysArt08” in Hague in Holland.

What is TodaysArt?
TodaysArt is a two-day festival with electronic music, video installations, art and dance. It draws mostly a local crowd from Holland and hasn’t got the same international atmosphere as fx Sonar in Barcelona.

Was it any good?
No!
Even though we experienced a couple of highlights, it wasn’t worth the money. The basic impression of the festival is that the event has been putting too much effort in promotion instead of creating great content. And that will not bring me back to Hague next year.
A couple of things were great but the rest will quickly be forgotten and I recommend saving the money and going to Sonar in Barcelona instead.

The good stuff:
Augmented Spaces by Pablo Valbuena
The best thing were definitely the video installation ‘Augmented Spaces’ by Pablo Valbuena. It was a really impressive installation that made a great use of the extremely white Richard Myers building. Great use of the technique and the two projectors placed on the corner of the big white building.
The only problem was that the installation ran for two nights and that was way too much. Even though it was impressive, it quickly became a bit boring and it was weird that they didn’t bring more content to the festival.

Aerial Dance:
Another great event was the aerial dance by the Spanish aerial dance team ‘Brenda Angiel’. I took a couple of pictures during their training in the afternoon and some video at their performance later the same night.

And finally, the strangest instrument ever. The lightning scratching device. Fun, but once you’ve seen it – you’ve seen it.
