<p>Whenever I need some visual or artistic inspiration, I check in on <a href="http://www.uppercasegallery.ca/" target="_blank">UPPERCASE</a> in Canada.</p>
<p>They do a fantastic job of keeping up with visual arts and came across this highly-watched, stop-motion video by Bang-Yao Liu.</p>
<p>Liu, a student at the <a href="http://www.scad.edu/" target="_blank">Savannah College of Art and Design</a>, created a really fun, bright piece of work, as you see. Liu also has a YouTube <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/bunliu" target="_blank">channel</a>, which features another video about making the work above.</p>
<p>The video you see above took three months of planning, four days of shooting and more than 6,000 Post-it Notes.</p>
<p>Those colorful, sticky notes have captured the imagination of generations.</p>
<p><span id="more-2739"></span>There&#8217;s much <a href="http://www.3m.com/us/office/postit/pastpresent/history.html" target="_blank">history</a> to the product invented by Spencer Silver and Art Fry and made by <a href="http://www.3m.com/us/office/postit/products/prod_notes.html?gnID=0" target="_blank">3M</a>.</p>
<p>I use the word engagement after watching a <a href="http://www.risd.edu/president/" target="_blank">video</a> featuring <a href="http://tofuwatch.com/2009/07/serious-risd-president-john-maeda-grew-up-where-in-a-tofu-factory-in-seattle-go-soy/" target="_blank">John Maeda</a>, the RISD president. In it, he talks about how design objects, and certainly art, engage people.</p>
<p>As a former journalist, I&#8217;ve always thought friendly, intellectual engagement was crucial. It&#8217;s why you ask strangers questions, interview professors and others and travel to new places.</p>
<p>In the end, you&#8217;re always going to learn something about someone, a place or an item. That always helps in the short and long term.</p>
<p>There have been other Post-it Note videos and art, including this one below. It&#8217;s featured on the <a href="http://blog.shoplet.com/office-supplies/post-it-notes-art/" target="_blank">Office Supplies Blog</a>.</p>
<p>But Liu&#8217;s work is a nice, bright addition to the Post-it Note scene.</p>
