With the help of local ambassadors, we're on the lookout for talent. Creative talent in all possible disciplines. They can register on the addictlab website and upload their work there. We'll be showing some of Joburg's talent on these pages. Addictlab has a number of research themes. We're looking for ideas, then publishing them in books, exhibiting, and creating a bridge towards the industry.
Local industry can contact us to tap into our lab. This way, local and not so local businesses can get inspiration and innovation.
We're working on high qualitative platforms. This website, is one of those (doing 1.000.000 hits/month) , exhibitions, and printed matter. (books & magazines. )We're looking for local partners to support us in that.

About the exhibition
 

“How to represent South African contemporary art in all its diversity?”, is a question that the Africa Centre, sought to answer in conceptualising and producing the inaugural Spier Contemporary exhibition.

No theme, no restrictions with regards to medium, size, weight and number of works were prescribed. Everything was entirely up to the artists.

The result, a breathtaking exhibition of contemporary South African sculpture, painting, photography, installation, video and performance art, that tells the fascinating story of who we are as a nation.

 
The exhibition will be running in Joburg untill this weekend so be sure to go check it out before it moves down to Durban if you haven't already. for more info please visit: http://www.spiercontemporary.co.za/
 

addictlab research: South Africa TM

about the project Let's look at South Africa as a brand. And more specific, some of its assets, like the creative scene present and their innovative ideas. Some of these concepts will be presented during a talk on branding by Jan Van Mol at the SanlamSAfashionweek, in August 2007.

a magazine about the life of south african trees
SA_2_REMARKABLE1

South African trees hold many secrets. Every secret holds a function in a delicate eco-system that keeps the world together. These are the amazing stories about a wide variety of indiginous & non-indiginous trees, which makes readers appreciate and excited about the environment they live in. So why not publish a bi-monthly quality magazine which reveals these secrets bit by bit? Large size glossy lumback. Well written and richly illustrated with top notch photography and graphics.

Tempest van Schaik   

Ellomennopee (pronounced LMNOP) is my general freelance creative label. I have a particular fondness for character design, which is evident in most of my work. The name Ellomennopee is an ode to the nostalgia of childhood’s alphabet song, when it is sung before the knowledge of an alphabet exists.

louism One evening as the twilight descended and swirled into the swamps, and our cameras came sweeping through the fields and the grass... we find ourselves near a certain hotel, the distinguished "La Macabre", where all was once well... the lonely figure of the bellboy Henri is the only apparent sign of life night after night, glued to the TV in the lobby, a slave to the figments of his own imaginings and fear, suspicions and whispers of the terror becoming real...  louisminnaaar-henri
Louis Minnaar's "Henri”, the four-minute production, recently shown at Addictlabs OpenLab 2.0 took the honours in the animation category at the MNet EDiT online awards ceremony on May 9.
