Corey Corcoran & I were invited to compete in the Boston #CreativeJam sponsored by Adobe:

“The Adobe Creative Cloud team will host the Creative Jam presentations. This one-hour design showcase highlights the work of local creative leaders: KIRK WALLACE, KEITH FRANKEL, DANA WOULFE, JOSH FALK and JESSICA MANIATIS.

 At the same time, in the next room, 10 design teams will be competing in the Creative Jam tournament, a 3-hour design charrette showdown.

 Once the Creative Jam presentations wrap, tournament participants will take the stage to share their creations with you. As part of the audience, you’ll judge each submission and select the Grand Prize winner.”

The theme of the evening, in which we had 2.5 hours to develop/execute an original design, was “Things are not always as they may seem.”
Here are some snapshots from the evening:

“BOSTON – The Mayor’s Office of New Urban Mechanics (MONUM) and Boston Art Commission are proud to announce the winners of “Fenway’s 30 Second Cinema,” a digital art competition which gives Boston-area artists the opportunity to display their work on a prominent digital sign next to Fenway Park.

MONUM and the Boston Art Commission asked artists to submit their digital art, such as motion graphics and short films, up to 30 seconds long. Representatives of MONUM and the Mayor’s Office of Arts + Culture judged the submissions

“Fenway’s 30 Second Cinema competition is a terrific opportunity for Boston-area digital artists to showcase their work to thousands of residents and visitors in a high-visibility public space,” said Mayor Martin J. Walsh. “The high quality of these submissions speaks to the overwhelming talent and creative vision in the City of Boston that will make one of Boston’s most beloved streets even more dynamic.”

Twelve winners were selected and will have their pieces displayed on the Orange Barrel Media digital sign at the intersection of Ipswich and Lansdowne Streets starting today. The winning submissions will be displayed every hour for 30 seconds between regular advertising programming on the digital sign (14 feet high by 48 feet wide). In addition, the City will award the winning artists $300.

“Fenway’s 30-Second Cinema” is part of a host of initiatives from the City of Boston to engage and highlight Boston’s creative community in public spaces. Recent activities include the Boston Art Commission’s Pop-Up! Dudley Connections (http://www.cityofboston.gov/news/Default.aspx?id=14764) a pop-up art series in Dudley Square, and the Public Space Invitational (http://www.cityofboston.gov/news/Default.aspx?id=10651), a civic design competition that invited artists, designers, and engineers to rethink Boston’s public spaces.
