HOOKS UP WITH T.A.G.> Hip hop mega-producer Pharrell Williams has turned to San Francisco-based agency T.A.G. to create an integrated campaign hyping his band N.E.R.D.'s new single, "Everyone Nose". Williams initially approached HSI Productions with the idea of doing a "branding experience" rather than a traditional music video. The company suggested working with the creatives at T.A.G., who in turn dreamt up an integrated-campaign based on an interactive music video. The result is everyonenose.com, a site inspired by night life photographer Bronques' raunchy photo blog . Viewers can activate individual clips from the video of hipsters and celebs partying at a N.E.R.D. show, which eventually vanish, replaced by the words "removed by request". The site also links to band merch and iTunes, where fans can purchase the single. A traditional video directed by HSI Productions' Diane Martel and featuring cameos by celeb scenesters Kanye West and Lindsay Lohan is now playing in the screening room. •PARISIAN PHOTOGRAPHER PLASTERS PARTIZAN> French
"photographic graffiti" artist JR has turned London into one big solo
show after the Tate Modern refused to paste a giant blow-up of one of
his photos on its façade. The first building to be decorated is none
other than Partizan London's Soho office, which JR has adorned with one
of his early portraits. JR has worked with director Al Siddons on a
forthcoming breakdance documentary, and through director LO-DEF, who
documented the 25-year-old photographer's "Women Are Heroes" project for Médecins Sans Frontiéres. |
