Using the same recipe as the wonderful spot for the London Olympics, W+K have created a new ad for the Sochi Olympics, and while it's nice, it doesn't have the same impact as before. Perhaps it's because we've seen it before, or perhaps because, for me, the whole event is overshadowed by Putin and the gay rights situation.
Mo Farah won the 5000m in Moscow yesterday and I couldn't help but have a bit of an reminisce to the Olympics last year. I love watching athletics, I find the determination and strength captivating. That's what appeals to me about this spot, which is really rather pointless in any other way. Just a bit of fun really, but the drive on Bryan Habana's face and the power behind him make it for me.
On another note, the A380 is also a stunning piece of machinery. Beautiful things, planes.
So today we went to Statens Museum for Kunst, or, The National Gallery of Denmark. They have some pretty cool stuff in there, as well as a lot of 'art' that really gets me going (and by going I mean ranting about what makes art - but that's another story for another time), and today I noticed this painting by Gunnar Aagaard Andersen.
I immediately thought of the London 2012 logo. Is it just me?
Not that it really matters. Everything's a remix and all that, it just struck me as interesting.
