Music for Freedom
Art sometimes performs a function bigger than its definition. Art of all types, shapes and media has been used to make a statement, to make pressure, to support revolutions.
The “Music for Freedom” project is about that and about using the power of social media to make a difference.

New Musical Ways
The music industry is going into a quiet revolution. More and more artists around the world are trying new ways to reach their audience in a direct way, getting first hand feedback from their fans, sharing their music whenever they see fit and how they see fit, cutting the umbilical chord from the major labels.
Grassy Knoll is one of those artists. With a magnificent user interface, attention to the details and a ease to use, Grassy Knoll just released his own application on iTunes that you can install for free on your iPhone/iPOD touch.
Oh! And the music is great as well!

Want to stand out? Go to YouTube
American advertising agency BooneOakley wanted to stand out from the fierce competition that is the advertising world.
Their solution? Instead of yet-another-web-2.0-site they jumped into YouTube.

Graffiti Time Bomb
TimeBomb is the brainchild of digital artist Lukasz Karluk (Holler) and Sydney sculptor/painter KissKiss (Stupidkrap.com).
The final installation will “appear as two giant graffiti walls suspended in the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney. One painted wall will be real, the other a projected double, interacting with the viewers movements to reveal the layers of graffiti swirling backwards in time.”
