Bright Falls: The Prequel to Alan Wake
Niekname
A promotional live-action short movie entitled Bright Falls was officially released on 27 April 2010 and serves as a prequel to the game Alan Wake. It is divided into six episodes and can be watched online at brightfalls.com.
I really like the idea to begin a game with several short movies to promotional use or just to start with the immersion, before you can actually play the game.
Transmedia Rules!

Artist with Nude Art-Displaying iPad Necklace
Niekname
A man walking around at night with an iPad lanyard around his neck, displaying semi-nude artwork, could be seen as a meandering perv. Or, as was the case in Bogota, the man is Claudio Arango, and he’s an artist.
Office dwellers, before pushing play please note that there are grainy, painted/pixelated boobs in this video:
The artwork is certainly interesting, although I’m going to dock points for not taking advantage of the pinch and zoom features that are native to any Apple touchscreen device these days. Update: Sorry, but points back on the board. As sturm notes below, there is certainly some pinching going on in there.
More seriously, it really is amazing how a feature that’s as simple and ubiquitous as touchscreen swiping can still fascinate people. Or maybe it was just the boobs. Either way, that’s some simple, yet powerful stuff right there.

Exit Through The Gift Shop - A Banksy Film

The rumors are indeed true. Banksy’s first film will premier to the public for the first time at the Sundance Film Festival. We’ve seen it and, yes, it’s absolutely brilliant.
