Frenchman Invader has been invading cities across the world with his perfect pixelated artwork for years now. He always completes his artwork behind a mask, so as to not give away his identity. This project, entitled 'Space Invaders', aims to invade cities all over the world with characters inspired by first-generation arcade games.
The characters are made out of tiles, which means Invader can cement them to walls (although some pieces continue to be stolen). He has even set up a scoring system for himself, with each character rating between 10 and 50, depending on its size.

In the past, Kelly Goeller was part of New York-based animation studio KNeeon, which produces original content for advertising, television, music videos and film. Pixel art has come a long way in the past few years and Kelly took this as her opportunity to create this awesome piece entitled 'Pixel Pour 2.0'.
The piece is located on Mercer Street in New York with many members of the public faced with the awesome piece of art work as they walk to work. Kelly's last 'pour' was seen in 2008 and can be seen on the Gothamist website.

Lanciato appena due mesi fa a Milano, car2go ha rivoluzionato il modo di noleggiare la macchina. Il meccanismo semplice: dopo liscrizione (gratuita per i primi mesi) basta scaricare lapp sullo smartphone o sul tablet e, alla prima occasione utile, sapremo esattamente dove trovare la nostra macchina.
Il mercato milanese non semplice da gestire, le parole chiave devono essere comodit e praticit. E car2go risponde ad entrambe le richieste. La macchina la trovi consultando comodamente il tuo smartphone, aprendo lapp e segnalando la tua posizione in quel momento. Una volta localizzata la macchina (le indicazioni danno anche le condizioni di pulizia esterne e interne della macchina e la quantit di benzina disponibile), la si pu prenotare gratuitamente per mezzora.
E poi c la questione della praticit, risolta in maniera ancora pi immediata. Non bisogna dannarsi lanima a cercare parcheggio, escluse le zone chiaramente in divieto di sosta (ma molto appetibili per il guidatore medio italiano), la nostra macchina a noleggio si pu lasciare dove si vuole.
Il marketing ha poi fatto il resto: qualche slogan accattivante e di moda e il gioco fatto.
Nessuno si stupisca se capitasse di incontrare una smart car2go con dentro una coppia intenta a scambiarsi effusioni, sempre alla modica cifra di 0,29 cent al minuto.
Sono i tempi che corrono, non resta che prenderne atto!
