giles appeared on a panel for the picture archive council of america on sunday. discussing what role technology is playing in new business opportunities, giles sat along-side represenatives from adobe and the national academy of recording arts and sciences (see also: the grammies). a full-breakdown of the proceedings is as follows:

This session brings together a range of panelists, some (relatively) new to the stock photography industry, others from creative industries outside our own; but all with a real interest in technology and how it is rapidly changing—and for some, has already changed—the landscape and business of monetizing digital assets in an online environment. Expect a lively discussion, revealing insights, and differing perspectives that reflect the diverse backgrounds of the panelists.

Panelists: Kevin Goldsmith (Adobe), John Griffin (CutCaster), Oleg Tscheltzoff (Fotolia), Ben London (National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences), Giles Copp (Version Industries)

Moderator: Jeff Burke, Former PACA President

Sponsored by Imprezzeo.

the protomen are about to release their first single from the eagerly awaited follow up to their debut, act 1. we are proud to be able to say that we worked in close collaboration with them to create the artwork for this release. it’s a vinyl-only release and you can see a sneak preview of the cover above. for more information check out the theory 8 records site through whom the record is being released. free copies of the record are being given away on november 8th at their release show in nashville, TN. be there.

in june we were invited to tour with 65 days of static for a few days whilst they supported the cure. in the photography section you can see a selection of the photographs we took as we shadowed their every move. stay tuned for more website and printwork from us very soon.

our new site for the new york-based PR firm, kaleidoscope consulting, has gone live. once again a new look & feel for us - we hope you dig it. oh & don’t forget to click the little eye.

today we unveiled our second music video for the protomen. this time around we filmed them, rather than animating them. all footage was taken from a recent show in brooklyn, new york and then smashed to pieces using computers afterwards. we hope you enjoy it:

iii: the will of one

check out our new website for the irish comedian, andrew maxwell. it’s a bit like sitting in a greasy spoon reading the paper. also, take a look at our first film poster for the documentary, swing state. in other news we have started work with nicole mackinly hahn on her reap what you sew project. we’ve made a holding page for her where you can find out more information about the project. last but not least, the children’s book on colour theory that we designed is now for sale in the tate modern.

check out the site we just made for long time collaborators asylum films. the music video they made for black ghosts is particularly worth watching. also, the site we did for tanit sakakini has apparently received some kudos over at spyline and straightline.

swing state has just made the cut over at the web design showcase irie. just in time for some nice weather too.

steaming back into the world of luxury brokers, our site for the tavivian group went live this weekend. we hope you enjoy it.

on top of that swing state has been receiving a fair amount of praise. it’s been considered a ’supercharged creative bookmark’ by the kind folk over at xhilarate. it’s also been posted over at picked by six.

two new sites from us. the first a mini-site to promote 65 days of static’s new dance parties EP. the second our first film site for the documentary, swing state.
