Two years after we reworked Top Gear, Poke are proud to launch the much awaited Cool Wall. We particularly like the way you can save and share multiple walls and compare your opinions to everyone else’s.
Some audio and other updates coming over the next couple of weeks.
Last August I posted this stupid little jibe against the ipodelisation of all computer electronics. In the post I joked about a fictitious Nano-Dock Washing Machine (featured image).
Well those clever folk at LG are patenting it. Should I sue?
I Just received an email from myself to remind me how good futureme was when i found it a while ago.
We just launched SpotTheBull for our long standing client Orange. It’s pretty simple. There’s a bull in a secretly located field with a GPS device strapped to it (with no discomfort or danger to the animal). If you can guess exactly where Derek (the Bull) will be in his field at 3pm you win some [...]
Bart kindly sent a set of inspirations kinetic projects on an email list this morning to kick the week off. The one in the image above is a kinetic piece installed on the ceiling of a dentists, presumably so patients have got something to look at whilst they’re getting their root canals plucked out.
Is it [...]
Quinn the architects who designed Poke’s new offices just got themselves a new website as part payment.
Been digging through what’s left of my antirom archive. Pulled this desert atmosphere I mixed for a performances piece called LynchMod (the image is a still from it). Get it on the headphones. The wind sounds makes the hairs at the back of your neck stand up but somehow the chirping cicadas warm it all [...]
Very interesting to see what comes of Google starting to translate searches so we can start to see what’s really out there on the internet (not just the little English bit). Now we can find out what they’re really saying about us (read in slightly shaky paranoid fashion).
I’m guessing Ma Fleur, the new Cinematic Orchestra album is getting the Ninja people excited. So much so they’ve put it on the internet so we can listen to it.
Looks like they’ve got a new member too.
IS NICE >IS HERE<

Occasionally something roles into my inbox that reminds me that ideas are bigger than budgets. This cheap ‘n’ charming book promotion site works a lot better than most mega-budget sites I’ve judged over the years.
I love this piece pinched from Asi’s blog. Take a hackneyed issue (”SAVE THE WHALE” - yawn) and bring it to life in a really simple compelling, noisy, beautiful way.
This is the kind of work I aspire to create. Something that makes you sit up and think, that brings you closer to the subject [...]
Caught this Heat Map on Régine’s site. Set up to embarrass residents and businesses into sorting out their insulation the test borough Harningey happened to feature my gaff as seen above which seems to be somewhere in the middle between good and bad. So i feel a little bit embarrassed, but also kind of alright.
Asi sent over this site that compares scrawling world metro maps at scale. Interesting to see the different scales and formations. The Paris metro is tiny, it looks like it’s been spun by a money spider.
