A great piece of work by Adam & Eve, an up and coming young communications agency. You can see more of their work here.

According to the NYT, Kameon—with help from her husband, the photographer Erik Otsea—created the T using 130 plants. “And in a postscript sure to warm the hearts of environmentalists, no flora were harmed in the making of this artwork. In fact, they’re all bound for a new demonstration garden in Kameon’s office and showroom.”

Every time the @uniformtweets account gets a new follower, a hacked cuckoo clock releases a gum ball onto a Heath Robinson-esque contraption, which weaves its way to the desk of a hungry employee.

The system – called Sweet Tweet – uses Arduino to monitor any new followers on Twitter. Up to 60 gumballs are stored within a shoot in the clock (one for each “minute” within the clock mechanism). As a new person follows the account, the mechanism is activated, releasing a gumball at the same time as a train whistle noise.

Each new follower then gets sent a link to the film that the agency made, explaining the project (above). The project was born out of the agency’s research platform ULAB.

Pete Thomas, Uniform’s Future Director, told Wired.co.uk: “Gumballs aren’t perfect. If we can get chocolate footballs to work, it would be more popular amongst staff… but they don’t work as well in the shoot.”

He added: “It could get pretty disruptive if we get a load of followers!”
Sweet Tweet is what Uniform describes as a “physical app” — objects that are connected to the internet to perform tasks that enable users to access information or services intuitively without using a standard interface like a mouse, keyboard or touchscreen.

“Sweet Tweet is very much a project for us and our twitter followers,” Thomas explains, “but we think that as mobile touchscreens become ubiquitous, we’re increasingly going to see brands rely on physical apps to create more engaging real-world internet enabled experiences.

“Smartphones are great, but using a touch screen is a fairly bland experience — why should I perceive getting a new follower, or a message from my kids, the same way as I would an email from the bank or a calendar alert? We’re excited by the opportunities that sit beyond the screen.”

The winners have just been announced and it is well worth having look at the great films.
