Everything is OK

Chris Simmons alerted us to Everything is OK, a project which began in a design studio. Directly off the site is this explanation of the project, “Faced with the mounting inequities in our world and culture, we set out to assemble a list of resources that would point people toward positive action. We launched a simple website (everythingisok.com) as a means of sharing these links. To promote the site, we created barricade tape with the incongruous message “everything is ok.”

“Today, Everything is OK exists as a kind of social design experiment in subversive positivism. It explores the relationship between medium and message, challenges accepted modes of communication, and provides everyday citizens with tools for social commentary.”

Odbo Relaunches

Julien at Odbo left a comment on a previous post of his that he’s relaunched his site. It’s full of good work and is worthy of a fresh post.

Becks Canvas Update

James from Becks Canvas got in touch with us to give us an update of some new stuff that’s come out from the winners. I’ve seen some of the bottles out in the bars and they’re looking pretty good. James says, “Videos for Becks Canvas have been released and uploaded to YouTube. They are pretty cool as they interview each of the finalists and gives there interpretation of how they see the art, what there vision was and what they were trying to achieve.”
