Raphaël Pluvinage and Marianne Cauvard's Noisy Jelly project is a game that allows each player to create their own musical instrument out of jelly. The video for the project uses absolutely no sound editing, and needs to be seen and heard to be believed...

The Naked is an initiative by five artist/curators connected to five independent art spaces based in The Hague, the Netherlands. The goal of The Naked is to set up a unique large scale international exhibition based on the existence of artist run spaces and mentalities; a celebration to alternative practices and other independent organisations dealing with the presentation of art.

The Naked Blog identifies the status of contemporary art as seen from a local point of view. Based on the feedback of many curators and artists around the world we hope to gather a larger overview of the current trends and values that matter within the arts on a global scale.

Turns out that brainstorming--that go-to approach to generating new ideas since the 1940s--isn’t the golden ticket to innovation after all.

The Brooklyn Superhero Supply store in Park Slope, Brooklyn is a place where you can buy all sorts of superhero supplies. Tools of the trade like grappling hooks, bottles of chaos and gravity, capes, invisibility paint, jars of anti-matter, secret identity kits, deflector bracelets and so much more.

The staff treats the products as real superhero supplies and the customers as real superheros. They even try to get you to quote a superhero oath at checkout.

Like all good comic book heroes, this store has a dual identity. It’s a front for the non-profit creative writing and tutoring centre, 826NYC.

To enter 826NYC, you must go through a swinging bookcase in the BBS store. Proceeds from the BBS store fund 826NYC directly to help young people with their creative writing skills.

Based in Washington, D.C., the Air Transport Association was the first and remains the only trade organization of the principal U.S. airlines.

With the arrival of a dynamic new CEO, Nicholas Calio, the organization was determined to respond to the global issues that the aviation industry faces in the 21st century. Pentagram’s Michael Bierut and Michael Gericke were retained to assess the organization’s name and tagline, assist in the crafting of a new mission statement and create a new visual identity.

The new name, Airlines for America, makes crystal clear the organization’s fundamental purpose: to foster a business environment that advances the nation’s economy and global competitiveness. The global arena in which that competition takes place is reflected by the new tagline, “We Connect the World.”

The new symbol, five planes coming together to form a star, serves as a visual metaphor for a group of airlines working in concert in service of their country.

We throw the word “porn” around a lot when it’s not a sexual thing.

A recent article in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology makes the claim that creativity walks hand-in-hand with loose ethics. Francesca Gino of Harvard University and Dan Ariely of Duke University conducted a series of experiments in which they asked subjects to complete various ethically ambiguous tasks.

The result: Not only do naturally creative people cheat more than uncreative people, subjects cajoled into thinking outside of the box become cheaters, too.

Many international DMOs (Destination Marketing Organizations) have recently started to use Pinterest as another platform to promote their destinations.

Since my list (Anne Hornyak) was created in mid-February, there has been a significant increase — from 3 to 26 international DMOs on Pinterest, as of March 10.

Last week D&AD held a President's Lecture in London that brought together three greats of the creative industries: Bob Gill, Sir Alan Parker and Lord David Puttnam, to talk about their early careers in advertising and the founding of D&AD (which is 50 years old this year).

While much of the evening was spent reminiscing on the trio's time in advertising in London in the 1960s and 70s, Gill also offered up a piece of pithy advice for those working in the industry today, on how to get a great idea. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it involves creatives turning their backs on the persuasive influence of sites such as YouTube and getting out into the world.

Water calligraphy is a poetic activity that you can observe in many Chinese parks: Artists use a large brush to write Chinese characters using ink instead of water. Minutes after the characters are written, they disappear.
