Faces and Phases
Oops! There goes the title of another album I have, consigned to the scrapheap of thoughts on this blog.
The BBC has received complaints about their new promotional campaign for their digital-only TV channels. Faces is a series of innovative advertisements made up of lots of disembodied heads which sweep around and merge into larger heads and other things. One person says it ‘made my skin crawl’.
I think they are really great. I particularly like watching just one of the little heads and finding out where it goes. So each time you watch the promo there’s a new experience to be had. But the complaints also indicate strikingly what some people find offensive and others acceptable.
