10 Crazy Pop Up Books (almost)
I noticed the word ‘POP’ seems to be at the forefront of my lexicon when describing visual beauty and / or exciting stimuli. To help get me through my POP phase I compiled a video post of pop-up books, pop-up rooms, pop up theater even an electronic paper pop-up Venus Fly Trap that POP’s and bites back.
First off…

The Ice Book is the story of a princess who lures a boy into the forest in order to warm her heart of ice. The performance blends animation, puppetry, and film to bring a pop-up book vividly to life in front of the audience’s eyes. The Icebook is available for touring. For information on touring dates or bookings in 2011 check the website: theicebook.co

QR Codes because the Night Belongs to Lovers
With the help of a global smart phone contagion the QR code is becoming more common as its uses are experimented with and practicality and helpfulness tweaked. If it’s easy and makes your life better – why wouldn’t you use it?
QR Codes were created in Japan by Toyota in 1994. QR is the abbreviation for Quick Response, as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed. How it works – Scan the barcode with a device that has a QR code reader, then you are directed to either a url, text, phone # or SMS. Google: QR code generator to make a QR code. Post edit May 4 / 2011 – QR code Generator links added at the bottom of the post.
