A SuperUber foi convidada para desenvolver uma experiência impactante no lançamento da marca dos Jogos Olímpicos Rio 2016, e criou a primeira “performance” da marca dos Jogos Olímpicos Rio 2016: um mapeamento de projeção sobre a escultura (de 2 m de largura) da marca, apresentada pelo Comitê Rio 2016 em evento no dia 31 de dezembro no Copacabana Palace, no Rio de Janeiro, e projetado no telão para o público que lotou a praia de Copacabana na festa de Réveillon. O conteúdo são animações criadas especialmente para a volumetria. A instalação preencheu a escultura com luz e movimento, criando uma experiência alinhada com os conceitos da marca, criada pela Tátil Design: movimento, tri-dimensionalidade.

The content are animations created specially for the volume.

Big Guy Zee here to report the news that the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro succesfully won the bid to host the 2016 Olympic games after beating Madrid in the final round. For Rio it was celebrations all round, whilst the people of Madrid were not so pleased. Your opinions on this story are most welcome, so feel free to subscribe, rate and comment! Much Love!

This is a theme that I compose to be used (if somebody wants to use) at the Braziliam Olympic games in 2016 (if the world doesn’t end in 2012…). To early? Well, I like to think that I’m ahead of my time, hehehe!!

This is the victorious and historical Lula’s speech by Rio de Janeiro’s candidature (in Brazilian Portuguese) and the bid video for Olympic Games in 2016 (in English), beating Madrid, Tokyo and Chicago. Copenhagen, Denmark, 10/2/2009

Following Rio’s selection to host the 2016 Olympics, decades of housing rights were immediately at stake for Rio’s favela communities. More than ever, squatter communities in Rio de Janeiro are threatened with eviction by the authorities for the development of infrastructure for the Olympic Games of 2016, or for reinstatement of land ownership, boosted by the increasing value of Rio de Janeiro’s real estate, or because the government claims the areas are a risk for landslides. This is an introduction to two of Rio’s communities whose residents face the prospect of their eviction in relation to the 2016 Olympic Games. They are Vila Autódromo and Asa Branca, two small and neighboring communities in the West Zone of the city.

I endorse Rio de Janeiro for the Host of the 2016 Summer Games. I think it’s not fair that the entire continent of South America has gone on so long without a chance to host the Summer Olympics.
