Cue the Final Countdown – On May 1st the CNNCTD+ teams’ past 8 months of work culminates at the New Museum, aligning 100 musicians, artists, chefs, writers, & designers who have an impact on New York Culture.

Each participant in CNNCTD+100 is using a Playbutton — a wearable pin that doubles as an MP3 player — as the canvas for their audio and visual designs. Participants include world-renowned artists such as Cindy Sherman, fashion designers like Narciso Rodriguez, and musicians such as Pharrell Williams, Santigold & Yoko Ono. Also included are iconic NYC personalities and companies such as Katz’s Deli, the Meatball Shop, and Ricky Powell. In creating the project, CNNCTD+ enlisted the help of top creative and cultural engineers: from HBO’s Broke Mogul, to Half Gallery’s Bill Powers, to advertising guru George Lois. The complete list of participants won’t be revealed until the night of the event but includes dozens of big names and surprises.

Our latest graphic with long time collaborator Lee Trice on ‘The Proud Tee’ is a collage of clippings,
photos, & movie characters. There is a lot to digest so we thought why not break down a piece of the
puzzle. One of the images is from the 1988 Sci-Fi film ‘They Live’ – A movie where the main character
discovers a special pair of sunglasses which allows him to see the world as it really is. He’s able to see
the ruling alien population and the real messages behind their massive campaign to keep humans subdued.

Lee incorporated parts of the movie including the ruling aliens. Check the graphic and short video
clips of ‘They Live’ below & see if you can’t find where another current brand was inspired from
the film as well.

Karmaloop TV has been shadowing Jason for a couple months to highlight the mindset behind
the madness and captures the transformation of an old loft in the process.

Jason Woodside // Giving People Color & The Creative Mind Of An Artist

“In light of the city’s gloomy colors and winter vibes, this New York based artist brightens up an
ancient loft in SoHo with crazy colors and murals. This same building is being turned into a bed
and breakfast, which will carry the art on the walls forever.”
