Other people’s Q&As

Murketing has lagged in the Q&A department recently, but if you’re in the mood for one here’s … well, two.

* First, at the Anti-Advertising Agency site, Anne Elizabeth Moore interviews Vincent W.J. van Gerven Oei and Jonas Staal about their Barack Obama Project:

The Barack Obama Project / A More Perfect Union is presented in three stages, entitled Study, Intervention, and Installation. Their components comprise a video with one thousand continuously merging skin fragments taken from photographs of Obama, accompanied by the soundtrack of Obama’s “A More Perfect Union” speech, a lightbox with a The Barack Obama Project logo and buttons showing the Obama campaign logo placed on 250 skin fragment buttons—meant for distribution among Obama supporters on the night of April 22, during the PA primaries at the volunteer headquarters in Chicago.

Q&A is here.

Second, a while back, Design*Sponge published a Q&A with the folks who run Yee-Haw Industries, the letterpress studio. It’s pretty straightforward stuff, but an interesting peek at their studio. And anyway their work is pretty amazing, so check it out.

Further diversion may be found at MKTG Tumblr, and the Consumed Facebook page.
