The future is Movie OS
Still from the film xXx from Mark Coleran’s portfolio. The idea that Apple is grasping at real-life objects because they support effective visual storytelling is very interesting: In Movie OS, visual storytelling is used to make the system’s important, critical reaction to a user’s action abundantly clear. In Movie OS, you know if you’re logging into [...]

Ubiquitous computing and the politics of anticipation” a PhD by Sam Kinsley. via Anne
The Films of Charles & Ray Eames
“While Charles & Ray were frequently contracted by corporations like Polaroid, Westinghouse, and IBM, they never made films on demand. Nearly all their films represent a symbiotic relationship between the artist and the client, and they only made films when there was genuine interest.
