Behold the world's first crowdsourced movie-poster campaign created through Instagram! It's the pinnacle of creative achievement! Sigh … humankind's obsession with the ubiquitous photo app continues, this time in Canada, where ad agency Taxi teamed with the Instagramers Montreal collective to create 87 posters promoting the new film J'Espère Que Tu Vas Bien, which roughly translates to Instagram Isn't So Great. Actually, it means I Hope You're Well, and the number of posters corresponds to the 87-minute running time of the movie, an experimental piece-entirely improvised, with no script written beforehand-that follows two friends as they saunter around Montreal. The Instagramers walked for 87 minutes, visiting locations used in the film, and submitted more than 600 shots all told.

African Angel created an outdoor print poster that allows people to see immediate effects of what a donation to their organization will do. By scratching off one piece of the poster at a time, the image is transformed into the change donations make.

Social Swipe is an interactive poster with a slit down the middle where people can swipe their credits cards to make a donation. Swiping triggers an animation sequence to show what their donation could do. The poster displays an image of a child with bound hands and as the person swipes through, the card cuts through the bonds and sets the child free.

Posterous trying to be like Beluga, GroupMe, etc. I wonder if Tumblr will revamp its app. Simpler curation/community pages?

This will probably make Twitter more FB/G+-like eventually

"Domino's and Blippar have created a mobile ordering app in Britain for hungry (and desperate) people with smartphones. The app interacts with billboards advertising the pizza chain's 555 deal. You point your phone at outdoor posters and billboards, and the app creates an augmented reality experience, allowing you to order a pizza, visit the Facebook page, and more."

Comptoir des Cotonniers opened 10,000 virtual stores overnight to get 'Fast Shopping' going. Customers need only download the PowaTag app, which works with iPhone and Android devices, before they can start scanning special tags on items like clothes, bags, posters, and even ads on bus shelters. After scanning, a purchase can be made in as little as 20 seconds, with the item you buy being shipped to your home within 48 hours. The system works similarly to QR codes, but instead of scanning an item for more information you scan it to purchase it.

augmented reality done right

One of these "look to the past to see the future" kind of things.

INSIDE OUT is a large-scale participatory art project that transforms messages of personal identity into pieces of artistic work. Everyone is challenged to use black and white photographic portraits to discover, reveal and share the untold stories and images of people around the world. These digitally uploaded images will be made into posters and sent back to the project's co-creators for them to exhibit in their own communities. People can participate as an individual or in a group; posters can be placed anywhere, from a solitary image in an office window to a wall of portraits on an abandoned building or a full stadium. These exhibitions will be documented, archived and viewable virtually.

Private sharing gaining in importance
