United Visual Artists – Creators Project
Intel and Vice are behind one of those projects that when first explained, it sounded like another of those webs that collates interesting assets together but, once you start exploring it, that idea is flushed down the toilet and the interest level skyrockets like when it was announced that Trent Reznor and David Fincher are working on The Social Network (the otherwise lame Facebook movie)
From the website:
The Creators Project is a new network dedicated to the celebration of creativity and culture across media, and around the world.
From movie directors to musicians, installation artists and designers, you can find all sorts of interesting people to be jealous about.
Pick one, I did.
United Visual Artists are living proof of how regardless of what you do, if you do it with passion, someone will pay for it.
Started by a group of freelancers doing similar things who decided they were better off joining forces to create something new, U.V.A. have manage to create a team of “architects and designers” who will end up working with Massive Attack, U2, the Chemical Brothers or transforming a landscape with projectors or LED lighting.
You know when you’re at work hating your life, feeling like your last chance to do something worth telling anyone is about to abandon you? And your friends are equally miserable but each one on a different job? And that all your promises and dreams of working together in perfect harmony doing something you would truly enjoy have been shattered due to the sheer lack of interest in anything past nine o’clock?
Well, read here how a group of people from different backgrounds had the balls to do what you and your friends aren’t willing to do.
Come on! read it and cry you waste of space, you lazy fuck, you king of procrastination-land.
Yes you, the one who types right now these very same words, who should be doing something productive on a Sunday instead of just typing words telling you off for not typing enough.
You disgust me.
