EYE PETROL, new digital mag and competition

Eye Petrol is a a brand new user generated digital magazine. In fact it is so new the first issue is not even out yet. From what I can gather:
·By user generated they mean that people send in their work and then the people who work at Eye Petrol or Creative Pool, which seem to be behind it, choose what to put in the magazine.
·By digital they mean that the magazine is only published as a downloadable PDF.

So even if most of the content is sent in by the public the magazine itself is not a user generated magazine. And I guess PDFs at least give you the option to have hyperlinks, but at the end of the day it is not the most digital of formats today (its from 1993!). Would it not be better if the magazine came as a little flash site, was posted on Flickr or here on WordPress?

How ever they are also having a logo competition which is quite interesting, although I think it is as much of a web page design competition as a logo competition. I have entered it 🙂

Radiohead, House of Cards

Earlier I wrote about Papervison and discussed real time rendered 3D within flash. We seemed to agree that most of it looked pretty Plastation2. And then Radiohead obviously read this and thought “lets do a off the wall, all digital, 3D from Geometric Informatics, 64-element, 360-degree LIDAR music video using 64 lasers rotating and shooting in a 360 degree radius 900 times per minute to capture the scenes. Then make it interactive as well. That will shut them up.” It did.
