What started as an interactive art collective with Eun-Ha Paek and Kinya Hanada (Mumbleboy) turned into a busy boutique creative studio. We made award-winning digital work for Crispin Porter Bogusky, Wieden+Kennedy, BBDO, DDB, MTV, Nickelodeon and more. A few passion projects made it into the Guggenheim, YouTube Play Biennial, and Museum of Moving Image.

Burger King Chicken Fries Microsite
Meant to parody the DIY aesthetic and energy of some heavy metal bands, the website convincingly appropriated band website staples, offering photo galleries, videos, songs, ringtones for download, and band member profiles. In addition to badass animation and a killer CMS, we added some rockin details like animations that would dynamically react to the band’s music as it played.

Virgin Haircut Banner
Probably the very first upload-your-face banner ever. Working closely with Crispin Porter Bogusky, we refined a strong basic premise and packed it with slapstick interactivity. PLAY
