A personal mission statement, in sound and image…

mundoresink — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 13:15:37 +0000

Back in 2008 I made this mission statement to help me in my search for the perfect workplace.

It brought me to one, and started me on a journey of personal growth I never asked for, but one I’m very happy to be on!

The last mile opportunity

really faking real fake authenticity

mundoresink — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 08:14:04 +0000

How do you sell authenticity when there’s no such thing? In Joseph Pine’s ‘experience economy,’ business is no longer about controlling costs or improving quality of services; it’s about rendering authenticity – i.e., about creating the perception of authenticity.

Have a look at this 15-minute talk to see how you can be (un)true to yourself and (not) say what you are. Or, how you can produce fake fake, real real, real fake, or fake real.

Interesting, especially for those working on sustainable entrepreneurship, because Pine’s two-by-two can help you re-evaluate who you are and what you’re trying to accomplish (a process The Necessary Revolution also talks about).

And for us Dutch, he’s as entertaining as he is painful. If we think we’re authentic in comparison to ‘you Americans’, have a look in the mirrow: every square meter of The Netherlands is manufactured – most of it made look as if it had always been like that.

To summarize, for successful entrepreneurship in the experience economy, you have to stick to 3 simple rules:
- Don’t say you’re authentic unless you really are;
- It’s easier to be authentic if you don’t say you are;
- And if you do say you’re authentic, you better walk the walk.

youtube according to an anthropologist

mundoresink — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 16:37:30 +0000

For anyone who still thinks Youtube is bollocks, have a look at Michael Wesch’s anthropological introduction to phenomenon, practice and subcultures.

Witty and often hilarious – and obviously with plenty of examples, this is surely on of the best and most entertaining seminars ever dished out to the Library of Congress.

Having watched this, I strongly believe that if Google ever tries to shut the platform down (it still struggles to make money from Youtube), there’ll be murder and mayhem everywhere.

Click play below to watch (it lasts almost an hour, but worth every minute).

back-track to 1984’s mac

mundoresink — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 07:44:49 +0000

It’s been 25 years to the day since Apple aired its revered Macintosh commercial. Now hailed as the best Super Bowl ad ever, without it – if we’re to believe Macintosh’ then-marketing manager Mike Murray, we may not have been soaking in Apple delight today.

Alluding to George Orwell’s 1984, it proved a masterly teaser to Jobs’ (also masterly) personal introduction of the Macintosh two days later. For one, the ad became a free publicity stunt when it was shown in full on several of the major news networks. But, according to Murray, its real success was striking a specific chord with the audience. Have a look at both ad and presentation, and a short explanation of how and why.

In this CNBC interview, Murray explains how the board deemed the commercial too radical and initially didn’t want to air it. But with the Super Bowl slot already paid for, and no suitable replacement commercial, they reluctantly agreed to have it shown.

Why it struck such a chord? Murray: ‘What that commercial did was it picked up on a particular vibe of a large segment of American society. Young people, innovators, creative people, people who don’t want to feel like they’re just stuck in the masses. And we felt that way, but I think we also perhaps underestimated what a strong vibe that is.’

And now for Jobs on stage, introducing the world’s first graphical user interface, mouse operated personal computer:

audiovisual art emotion – co-created

mundoresink — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 19:20:20 +0000

For his August 2008 exhibition ‘Moving’, Lukas van de Vrande asked visitors to draw their associations with the theme of the show. Using the results, he skilfully produced a 3-minute short, underlining it with a powerful piece of classical music.

When I saw this I’d already made the step from writing a résumé to making an online slideshow portfolio. But ‘Moving’’s imagery and soundtrack convinced me of the power of film (or better yet, re-awoke me to the idea – I did study the subject).

So here’s a tribute and a thank you to Lukas, who helped turn me into a self-proclaimed film making genius. Click play below to watch ‘Moving’; see my own concoctions by clicking here.

Lukas van de Vrande is an Amsterdam-based artist. He not only puts his work up for sale, but also rents it out. So if you like his work but can’t afford to buy something now, build up a credit by renting so you can buy one of his pieces later – a bit like Dutch Art Loan.

Check out his website (in Dutch) by clicking here.

Thanks to Wouter for enlightening me.
