NWAADC to host Mike Slane - August 16th
NWAADC Captures Exopolis Motion Designer Mike Slane
THURSDAY August 16th, 2007 at the Dickson Street Theater
Doors open at 6:30 and event starts at 7:30.
When he was captured in 2006, by the team writing "Field Guide to Design Talent 2006" for Step Inside Design Magazine, then Motion Theory Senior Designer Mike Slane was fitted with a radio collar that enabled us to track his movements. Although we'd been following Mike for some time ? through his graduation from the California College of Arts and Crafts, and up to his involvement with Kozyndan in the 2004 Resfest, his capture and tagging by the Step Inside team, gave us a rare glimpse inside of the habits of this mysterious creature.
At Motion Theory, the former photographer and geographer was often spotted frequenting industry awards shows, where he picked up statues and shiny stuff to take back to his den. Nike spots for Wieden + Kennedy, the HP "Hands" campaign, and work for clients Emerald Nuts, Cadillac and Budwieser were all known to bring the beast out from his lair.
In 2007, after we had been tracking him for several months, Mike made a move to Exopolis - a creative studio combining the strategic and conceptual capabilities of a traditional marketing consultancy with the technical and design chops of a broadcast and interactive production company. (So says their website!) His first act upon arriving there was to pee around the perimeter to establish his territory clearly. But afterward he co-managed a creative team on projects for Delta Airlines.After a few well placed tranquilizer darts and some obsequious flattering, the NWAADC has finally tracked down Mike Slane, captured him, and is bringing him to Northwest Arkansas for a limited time exhibit. Come poke the captured creative, throw peanuts at him and witness the Associate Creative Director of Exopolis in a completely unnatural habitat.
Please avoid loud, startling noises, or smelling like beef-jerky.
On THURSDAY August 16th, the Northwest Arkansas Art Directors Club will host Mike Slane of Exopolis at the Dickson Street Theater. Doors open at 6:30 and event begins at 7:30. $5 for Members and Students. $15 for Non-Members. STUDENT MEMBERS GET IN FREE!
Come out to the Dickson Street Theater on August 16th!
