This is America video, by Hiro Murai for Childish Gambino

Directed by Hiro Murai and produced by Doomsday.  With Ibra Ake and Fam Rothstein of the creative agency/Label Wolf + Rothstein, for multi-Grammy nominee Childish Gambino. I love the work of Hiro, “Do you” video for Spoon, or “Gold” for Chet Faker, he is a star.

This is the first result of partnering with RCA Records. Timely topic, action at different levels in the same frame, overlapping on purpose violence, popular dance moves and criticism. An amalgamation of different views of modern America. They deliver, in such a solid way one could not wait to see what comes next.

Muji Award 2018 04 edition

Muji Award 2018 gold prize winner: the Storage Book, created by Ip Chi Chuen (HONG KONG)

According to the designer, “Sorting things” is a part of our lives, but you may often have trouble finding a place to store things after sorting them. As a solution to this problem, I made a storage case shaped like a book to make it easier to decide where to place. This MUJI PP case is designed to have the same shape and size as a normal book and the spine on which an identification sticker can be attached. It is an idea where a book on a bookshelf has an ability to store things.”

I love it because I have been storing things in books since I was a kid. Although I find it more interesting the Door-in-Door project (Bronze award), from Chinese duo Lu Jiajheng & Cheng Yatin. But who am I to judge? 😉

Here you have the list of nominees and winners of Muji Awards 2018.

Make Mistakes

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.
Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re Doing Something.
So that’s my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody’s ever made before. Don’t freeze, don’t stop, don’t worry that it isn’t good enough, or it isn’t perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.
Whatever it is you’re scared of doing, Do it.
Make your mistakes, next year and forever.
Half a decade ago Neil Gaiman wrote this New Year’s wish. Still valid.
