Diesel UK are the first brand to have an official radio station. Broadcasting for the coming month, on 87.7 FM in the London area the station has some amazing DJ’s and artist lined up, as well as featuring music from the unsigned Diesel:U:Music community.
Tune in live online at Diesel:U:Music.
There is a live video stream (streaming above!) on Yahoo live, where you can see the studio and participate in the programming, and chat with DJ’s and guests.
Passers by can see their images ripple out infront of them across the two large screens that fill the window. The screens show the past second or so of time as series of frames captured by a hidden camera. The result is hypnotic. By approaching the camera and moving about in front of it you can create wonderful rippling patterns that oscolate down the screen. The window echoes the life of the facing square as it is affected by the herding tourists and locals. We will be updating the installation with new interactive experiences over the coming month. Check out the video below.
NEW YORK, NY, July 27, 2007 - Tomorrow Unlimited announced today the successful launch of the Creators Series, made possible by the extensive support of Diesel. The Italian apparel brand was the partner sponsor of the bicoastal multidisciplinary weekend arts conference which debuted in June in New York and Los Angeles. Diesel’s partnership provided an interactive space for innovative, international talents in art, fashion, design, film, and technology to converge for an unprecedented curatorial event designed to inspire dialogue and advance the future of global creative culture. The inaugural events featured 15 creatives, including Graffiti Research Lab, Nieto, Matt Hanson, Jonathan Harris, Gareth Pugh, and Jennifer Leonard. The bicoastal event received additional support from AKA, Apple, Canon, Carbon Planet, Dewar’s White Label, Flying Dog Brewery, Getty Images, Imeem, LA Weekly, SmartWater, The Village Voice, Time Out New York, and Zipcar.
"We are grateful to Diesel for their support of The Creators Series. Their involvement is testament to Diesel’s commitment to creativity and multidisciplinary artists, changing the way we are inspired and entertained," said Khris Kline, Director of Business Development for Tomorrow Unlimited. A spokesperson from Diesel’s Milan headquarters expressed that, "We support The Creators Series because we support people who challenge conventional thinking. These are the people and these are the ideas that will change our future."
Tomorrow Unlimited originally approached Diesel because of its high regard for the clothing company’s like-minded mission — Diesel seeks to challenge, innovate, and stimulate debate in every sphere of creativity (and the world at large). Diesel has supported emerging talent through projects such as Diesel:U:Music, Diesel Wall, and the Diesel Cult, an online community formed to bring disparate creative individuals and groups together in an effort to stimulate debate and the cross-pollination of ideas. Additional information about these programs is available at http://www.diesel.com.
Highlights of the inaugural Creators Series included Sneak Previews at Apple Store Soho in New York and Third Street Promenade in Los Angeles, opening night receptions at The Altman Building and Rec Center Studio which drew more than 1100 guests, special demonstrations of interactive musical instrument ReacTable, a U.S. premiere fashion presentation by British designer Gareth Pugh, and an outdoor demonstration of street art collective Graffiti Research Lab’s L.A.S.E.R. Tag in Tribeca. Individual seminar favorites included a live performance and video screening by French-Columbian artist Nieto, and The New Urban Interventionists, moderated by Marc Schiller, editor of street art blog Wooster Collective. "If New York’s debut for The Creator Series is a taste of things to come, then Tomorrow Unlimited will soon be one of the premier culture event producers on the scene," commented Schiller. "The energy in the room was amazing."
The Creators Series received press coverage from national and international print, TV, radio, and online outlets. The New York conference was covered extensively by NHK Enterprises America for a program that will be aired on Saturday, July 21 in Japan. Time Out New York named The Creators Series as the editor’s pick for the "If you do only 1 thing…" feature on page two of the June 7-13 issue. Metro New York highlighted the Creators Series in the June 8-10 weekend edition as a featured event. The Los Angeles Times said the Creators Series’ interactive multimedia exhibit presented "the future of entertainment." The New York Sun highlighted Diesel’s partnership with Tomorrow Unlimited in the article "Art (and Marketing) in the Age of YouTube," on June 13, 2007. The second annual Creators Series event is scheduled for Spring, 2008.
