Post for 355

While reading about showmanship in our book it made me think about The Disney On ice Show we saw live at the Toyota Center a few weeks ago. The collaborative ice performance by Disney. One thing that stood out was how the figure skaters use props to enhance the storyline and draw in the audience as well as music and bright lights to create emotions.

Instillation art is becoming very popular amongst Americans.

This is one of my favorites, maybe because I have a great dane and can relate!

Every time I saw them I asked the redundent question to go Ronald's house to eat some fries. Now that I am an adult and have my own child I continue to hear these words from my child and I know this is a globalized branding that will continue to be around. 

People living a virtual life, has in a way become reality. The advances in technology has opened online communities such as world of warcraft or WOW as million of gamers call it. More and more people live in a fictitious world where they can become anything their imagination can handle.

356-Design of Renzo Prano and Richard Rogers

Design of Renzo Prano and Richard Rogers in Paris where they put all the normally hidden functions of a building viewable places on the exterior. By color coding air ducts, air conditioning, plumbing and elevators gives it a unique and original design but what has it done to the efficiency of some of these systems?
