Nike Gets Up To Speed

Aside from “Lindsay Lohan’s Fake Bra Sold on eBay,” the best thing last week on Gawker was an ad: a link to Art of Speed, a so-called “contract publishing blog” (a sort of online advertorial) that Gawker is developing with Nike.

Nike commissioned short films on the topic of speed from 15 up-and-coming filmmakers and artists. Most of the movies—which range from trippy to glorious—are up on the site now (the rest will be soon), and Remy Stern is taking a break from his own blog, NewYorkish, to do interviews and add other material about the filmmakers and their methods.
