Who in the blazes?
Killerpoke is the independent blog of Nick Craske, creative director, living and working in London. Killerpoke is a method of inducing irreversible hardware damage on a machine. As a little-scamp the most rewarding play was always disassembling objects, turning them upside down, inside out and making something more useful, unexpected or playful - and sometimes just to enjoy pulling them apart. I'm even more curious now, and increasingly fascinated with technology and narrative to communicate and entertain in the digital world. Work is play.

Intel’s latest campaign celebrates Geek’dom and Tech’head culture. This appeals to me – I take pride in being a geek – and although the wider audience may not immediately recognise the achievements of the ‘rock star’ engineers – and OK, the ‘rock star’ comparison is tired, and actually, are ‘rock stars’ cool anymore? – the overall treatment focuses on the Intel folks’ talent; their pride and their immersion in what they do - this is communicated to everyone. |
Elegant motion detection from the Natal development team. This is clearly a controlled – or pre-rolling – promotional piece, but judging by the responses from E3 crowds – as crowds watch live demonstrations of the basic motion capture function – this project is moving closer to a full implementation. I’m really not evangalising about the big-evil-Microsoft, contrary to the recent amount of related posts…
