Mark Mulroney
Mark Mulroney uses collage, drawing, painting, sound, and sculpture to expose the viewer to a fascinating, interconnected universe of religious and scatological thought. In Follow the Nosebleeds, his soon to open new exhibition, Mulroney re-imagines Mixed Greens as a more intimate, studio-like space. He divides the gallery with constructions, furniture, and partitions all made of cardboard (loosely based on the haunted houses he built with his brothers as a child). In this setting, mixed media and diverse content inspire active participation [...]

With a total over 500 individual portraits, in 58 panoramic images, The Disciples, an original, sharp and highly entertaining take [...]

Israeli versus Palestinian Coffin Counter
Back in August 2006, infosthetics posted the Israeli versus Lebanese Coffin Counter project, which depicted the proportionality of casualties by nationality in the conflict between Israel and the Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. With the dramatic current events of the war against Hamas in Gaza, this project has just been renewed and updated [moiz.ca] with the latest (depressing) casualty figures. Each coffin icon represents a single person killed as reported by BBC News, sorted as either Israeli or Palestinian.

Track SEO rankings with Google Analytics Well, you can’t specifically track the exact position of the keyword that was clicked like you can do with AdWords. But it is possible to determine the page he was on. A ranking tool can tell you over and over again that a certain keyword is around position 15 in Google while Google Analytics claims he is on page 1 (position 1 to 10). This effect can come from ‘personalized search’ or ‘local results’ [...]

Candy-coated history
The other day I saw some unfamiliar M&Ms packaging in a local drugstore. The Retro Tube! I wondered whether this was truly a reissue of an old packaging style or just a marketing ploy—a “remember a time that never was” kind of thing—and I asked an older woman in front of me whether she remembered M&Ms ever having come in that kind of package in the past. She said no, she didn’t. But, some quick internet research reveals that, in fact, [...]

Geico's Kash rears his ugly head once again

Geico's much-maligned inanimate wad of bills, known as "Kash," returns in these two new spots by The Martin Agency. In the ad above, the banknotes briefly flutter in the breeze. That's pretty much the highlight of the action here. To his credit, though, the guy who plays the stereotype hick rancher really does seem inbred. The gecko is also back in some more palatable offerings. Maybe the lizard could eat or burn or tear "Kash" to shreds in a Japanese [...]

The essence of strategy for design
Our old colleague Dan Saffer asked a brief question to the IxDA mailing list, “What should interaction designers know about strategy?” It set off an excellent discussion. I responded in the thread, but I wanted to rephrase the post here for the AP Blog. For starters, there’s a tendency to equate “strategy” with “business”, and I think that can be harmful. There are many examples of design that aren’t suited to business, but none that aren’t suited to strategy. When I [...]
