We had a great visit the other week with some lovely people from Adobe who were looking for some design-house feedback for a future release of Creative Suite while they were in the Seattle area. We had a lot of fun and it was an honor being ask our opinion of what should be included in the next version of such a great and epic product. But we really enjoyed the compliment we were paid afterwards. They seemed really excited about how we embrace new technologies and express creativity, the collaborative way we do it and even said that we were in the “upper echelon”!

Sometimes it’s nice to have a reminder step back and admire our vision of working with great people to do great work.

Those Hiberts are busy!  Snaggs will be in a group show at Giant Robot New York with Le Merde and Scrappers from June 21 to July 16. 

Arbito has a print in the “Now Showing” Poster Show at Cosh in London.  The show runs through June 13th, 2008.

Kristi and Matt created the animation, designed and developed the original Photosynth site a few years ago (it’s morphed a little since then).  Photosynth was developed in conjunction with University of Washington and Microsoft researchers and Seadragon technology. 

Photosynth technology was used in the “CSI:NY” episode last night with just a small amount of Hollywood magic.  It’s a pretty crazy application so it might have seemed like a bunch of hocus pocus, but nope…  It is actually that cool.  You can even download a demo of the application and try it out yourself.

Martin Ontiveros will be showing at Schmancy Toys this Friday.  If you haven’t seen any of Martin’s work, you gotta come down a take a peek!  His paintings are totally amazing and he’s had a number of vinyl toys created based on his character designs like the super cool Ojo Rojo. 

Check out a bunch of his work and other artist’s Martin-inspired work featured at Portland’s very own Grass Hut.

See yas down there!

Plexipixel is represented at CES for the second year in a row (last year we did a video to announce Real’s partnership with Tivo).  This year, we created a video using Lenny Kravitz’ new single “Bring It On” to show off the new portable GoGear and Philips’ Streamium home products that are Real/MTV Rhapsody enabled.  The video was shown at the Philips press event on Saturday (1/6/2008).  It’ll also be shown at Real’s booth during the show.

Check out the press on Engadget on both the announcement and the video:

1:16PM PT - Andrea is now talking about the company’s partnership with Rhapsody, and online music sales. Matt Rowlen from Rhapsody has taken the stage now. He’s touting the company’s wide coverage. Now they’re rolling a clip made with Lenny Kravitz. It’s pretty funky, also, someone is playing the electric guitar.

1:19PM PT - Rhapsody is now (or will be soon) available for Philips devices. Mind blowing. Now Andrea is back on talking about lifestyle and design.
