Wall Intervention by NoMe Edonna

This week we were proud to announce our wall's latest intervention by San Francisco based artist NoMe Edonna. This was the second intervention on our office wall (the first one was performed by Mexican graffiti artist Pezo) and we were amazed by the results.

NoMe's style is truly one of a kind, blending the lines between a futuristic and traditional technique that was executed in a mere couple of hours. His emblematic characters have been part of his signature style since 1999 and the use of texture and depth add a truly mesmerizing characteristic to his work.

What amazed us the most is that his intervention wasn't completely covering up the first mural, instead it was blending in with it and making it speak through a new texture that was portrayed by an RGB color scheme. It seemed like the former piece evolved into a new proposal that added new layers of personality to our wall. We would like to thank NoMe and Arturo Mizrahi from Upper Playground for making this possible.

 

                             

5 Options To Replace Instagram

Here in Kinetik Lab we were amazed by the news that Instagram was being purchased by Facebook, there were a lot of mixed feeling regarding the transaction so we thought of 5 apps that could easily replace the fun of taking photos and sharing them with anyone. Here are our recommendations:

1. Loopcam: A great app that enables users to make a .gif on the go

2. 1-Bit Camera: A great app for going back to basics when it comes to photos

3. Path: A one-of-a-kind app that turns sharing photos into a personal experience
 

4. LEGO Photo: A fun app that turns your photos into LEGO pieces
 

5. Camera Fun Pro: A great app to transform your photos into amazing pieces of art
 

Top 5 Apps for Art

Nowadays you don't need pen or paper to express your creativity, innovative platforms such as the iPad allow us to fully express our emotions in the most versatile way. Several apps have been developed to set the standards for future artistic expression, here are our favorites:

1. Procreate: Excellent for layers and textures

2. Sketchbook Pro: Great user preferences and tools

3. ArtStudio: Amazing features and filters

4. Zen Brush: The closest thing to accurate Asian calligraphy

5. iDraw: Simply the best for illustration and simple drawings

Green Guerrilla Campaign

Here in Kinetik we are always thinking of new ways to promote social awareness through ingenious campaigns, using external elements as platforms for our ideas we came up with a "green guerrilla" project named Mente Ambiente.

The project focuses on creating social awareness through creative means that capture people's attention by being anything but ordinary. We believe that creativity is the key to persuade people to be more ecologically conscious and address key issues such as proper trash disposal.

We hope these images inspire people to make a change in their habits and make the world a cleaner place for inspiration!
