BIG DATA
“Directed by John Carlucci and Brandon LaGanke (GHOST + COW), BIG DATA “L1ZY” follows a regular, suburban American family who purchase an Alexa-style smart home device to make their lives easier and more efficient. When the A.I. Assistent, capable of learning and improving as it goes, starts to increasingly interfere with its owners schedules, needs and (very personal) desires, things soon take a sinister turn. The nine-minute horror comedy is a laugh-out-loud interpretation of our increasing dependence on technology. “We are very scared of A.I. and this is the main inspiration for the piece. It is a very real threat; hence why we classify (BIG DATA – “L1ZY”) as a horror short film” the directors confess. Using the film as a music video, with the track cleverly interspersed throughout was a brilliant PR decision, but the fact that the film works as a standalone comedy as well, is a real stroke of genius from the GHOST + COW duo.” - Juansky.net

KOPPS are Brainwashing Dance Demons in Video for 'Hott'
“ Self-described "electronic-rock-whateverists" band, KOPPS, is just as fed up with the summer heat as you are. The Rochester, New York-based band is best known for their sleekly crafted indie pop as much as they are for their off-kilter sense of humor.
The video for their new summer single "Hott," featuring buttoned-up indie rockers Joywave, is innocuous enough at first glance. Bickering directors and stiff choreography with artificial slapped-on smiles makes for a winking parody of music videos from Devo or St. Vincent. The twist, because of course there is a twist, comes at the chorus with screaming guitars, flashing lights, and a S&M clad KOPPS hypnotize the entire crew with a noodle-armed cult dance.
The dance, later referred to in the fiction of the video as the "Hott Trott," becomes a viral sensation spreading around the world like a dead-eyed "Harlem Shake" or "In My Feelings." The video is incredibly charming in its sinister absurdity, past the campy glowing red eyes and floppy dancing lies a thirst for global domination even if they don't take themselves too seriously.” -Paper Magazine

“It's Christie's vs. Kristie's -- A famous Play-Doh sculpture at a big fancy auction house vs. a 7-year-old's Play-Doh sculpture she made in her playroom that she's auctioning on eBay.
Having seen the awe-inspiring sculpture on the news and in person, Kristie decided she could make one “just as amazing” and is auctioning it off on eBay to help raise money for children in need.
Christie’s Auction House recently sold the famous “Play-Doh” sculpture for $22,812,500. Kristie would like hers to go for a "bajillion dollars" and the current bid for her Play-Doh sculpture is $1,040!
Profits from Kristie’s sculpture will go towards the non-profit organization ‘Give Kids The World’.
Hasbro, the company behind the famous Play-Doh product, supported Kristie’s endeavor by donating the Play-Doh she used for her creation. Additionally, the company is promoting Kristie’s auction on Play-Doh’s Facebook and Instagram.
Uproar! was the agency that created the videos and all the digital and social content for Kristie’s Super Awesome Auction, and DDB New York served as a creative consultant.
The conversation around Kristie’s sculpture and initiative will fuel the long-held debate around modern art, which questions whether children could have “produced something just like it.” It’s also sure to spark interest in childhood creativity and show how far a child’s imagination can take them.” - Adforum.com
