quibibi - DAYDREAM
quibibi - TORIKAGO


quibibi, based in Japan, has created some really beautiful interactive artwork. The website is difficult to navigate because it is not in English - but it really is worth the time to click on the imagery and launch some of the pieces.

DAYDREAM, a campaign for Japanese hat designers and manufacturers Weave Toshi, is an abstract narrative that is time-sensitive to your cursor's movement. The interactive minisite showcases Weave Toshi's designer hat collection in a way that seems more like net art or indie film and far from a season catalog. DAYDREAM has won a few awards since it launched: One Show Interactive 2007 -Gold, D&AD Global Awards 2007 :Websites -Yellow, Cannes Lions 2007 :Cyber Lions -Silver.

TORIKAGO mixes narrative and interactive in a subtle, beautiful way - the user can interact with the film but not control it. quibibi's work makes me really wonder about the possibilities of crossing film, photo, and programming.

"A never ending web page felt like a good, simple idea. The kind of thing that the world would like to see. So we made it." -POKE London

The promotional site Goodthingsshouldneverend.co.uk is web design at its best. Fun, creative, and nicely illustrated. The site produced by POKE London for ORANGE Unlimited really keeps going and going. Seriously, try to reach the bottom of the scrollbar! Impossible! Goodthingsshouldneverend.co.uk has been talked a lot about online and has won two awards so far: IAB Creative Showcase Winner, December 2007, and FWA site of the month for November 2007. It's even up for FWA Website of the Year 2007.
