Metropole Tweetphony // An original tweet-powered activation…
by The Metropole Orchestra in Amsterdam & Havas Worldwide Amsterdam!
“In an 8 hour long, crowd composed concert, we asked people to let the orchestra play via Twitter. Literally. Tweetphony was a symphony of music compositions created entirely of tweets based on the letters associated with notes. By accessing a special campaign site, which makes use of a digital piano interface, participants could compose music and listen to other musical tweets. The entire concert was streamed live and a video of each Tweetphony was immediately sent back to its composer.”

A new email service for kids
In a world where children are born with tablets in their hands (for games, children’s books, drawing, etc.) we are witnessing the creation of the new services that are created specially for them.
Here is Maily, an email service re-invented for kids: Kids can now create emails using five tools adapted to their needs: pencils, brushes, photos, backgrounds, stamps and their own words.
Parents do not have to worry: Maily accounts are created and supervised by the parents. Only they decide who their children can communicate with.

Panel Discussion: Open Brands
Building brands digitally is a given now. It’s a critical part of any brand manager’s role. The winning brand experiences are those that now tap consumers to co-create their future. OPENESS needs new talent, new thinking, new models, new risks, new interpretations of ROI. Interaction Designers have always focused and cared only about delivering compelling memorable experiences, that ensure the consumer is at the center of the experience. How does/is the “social-web empowered consumer” drive brands and designers of brand experiences to think differently about their brand message & identity? What are the characteristics of a truly Open Brand? Many traditional brand managers think about Open Brand as a multi-channel strategy, yet poorly execute on delivering a consistent experience across those channels, leaving users with very fragmented experiences. This panel brings three senior experience design leaders to discuss the important role interaction designers have in driving Open Brand development in today’s hyper-digital marketplace. The discussion will focus on laying a definition to what Open Brands characteristics are and how companies can move towards delivering Open Brand experience to their customers via each touchpoint they design for in their brand strategy.

Panel Discussion: Design Led Startups
There is an exciting and increasingly popular trend where the field of Design is increasingly popping up in various areas of the startup and entrepreneurship worlds. The reputable Silicon Valley venture capital firm, Kleiner Perkins, launched a Design Fellows program, in the fall of 2012, to attract talented designers to work for KP and match them with portfolio companies they have investments in. IDEO started their own “Startup In Residence” program in the Fall of 2012, an incubator like program where IDEO can help startups at their “earliest stages of evolution” by infusing them with their Human-Centered Design framework. Before both of these efforts, designers themselves embraced entrepreneurship as evidenced by the Designer Fund, an angel fund of designers who invest in designer founders through mentorship, funding and access to large professional networks to support these budding young designer led businesses . On the talent side, designers are increasingly looking for ways to work on real problems and create solutions users find so valuable that they will use it even if it isn’t well-designed or well-engineered. They look outside of their mundane corporate and agency jobs, for more meaningful problems and opportunities to expand their design craft and mind, enhancing the end value of the end experiences. Often designers feel they have many great ideas from their practice of the design process of discovering problems rooted in understand the problems people have. This panel brings together a group of designers and entrepreneurs to discuss the real value of design in the startup world, how designers can think about entering the entrepreneurship world and what it takes to “jump ship” and start your own company. This panel is not to be missed if you have the itch to start your own company!
With Raphael Grignani, Todd Silverstein, Josh Seiden & Suzanne El-Moursi
Panel Discussion: Data Depth & Ingenuity
Big Data…so what? Have you heard it isn’t the size of the data, but what you do with it that matters? Cutting across industry and domain, we’ve invited some of the top creative minds to discuss and debate the value of information, in an information age. What to look for, how to determine what is important in the loads of data captured, and why making meaning out these mountains of digits can be so valuable.
With Andrew Crow, Jer Thorp, Todd Silverstein and Ben Fullerton.

Tweetflight – A real-time Twitter powered music video
I love when technology inspires artists to create new languages and redefines the format of their work.

Here’s how it all came:
“I’m Charlie, one-third of Melbourne-based band Brightly. Basically we couldn’t afford to pay a big production company to do a film clip, so I thought it’d be wild to try and do something using web technologies – specifically, HTML5 and the Twitter API.
The result is the first interactive real-time Twitter powered music video for our single, Preflight Nerves, that we’ve affectionately nicknamed Tweetflight.”
