There must be something in the water in Kansas City, because Propaganda3 just launched one of the most insane (and insanely good) sites I’ve seen in quite some time.

Alcohol Under a Microscope

Ever look at alcohol under a microscope magnified 1000x? Me neither. But Bevshots and some chemistry folks at Florida State University did, the the visuals are pretty rad.

(That’s vodka pictured above)

More amazing work born from Buck, in collaboration with Cypheraudio and Saiman Chow, all for this Nike 30 sec TV spot and a plethora of other animated goodness that coated multiple screens in Times Square for the World Basketball Festival in NYC.

Goodby Silverstein & Partners: Adobe Virtual Museum

Goodby Silverstein & Partners collaborated with Adobe in creating the Adobe Virtual Museum which launched this month after being unveiled at the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival last June.

Unlike any space created before it, the AVM is entirely digital. The virtual building was designed by Italian architect Filippo Innocenti. Traverse the virtual building and discover showcases in photography, product development and broadcast communications. “our mission is to showcase and preserve groundbreaking digital work and expert commentary to illustrate how digital media shapes and impacts today’s society. Here, artists and innovators have the unique freedom to create work that wouldn’t be possible in a traditional museum.”

“… In the coming months, exhibits will feature video artist Tony Oursler, RISD President John Maeda and Japanese artist Mariko Mori.”


I normally do not post photography portfolios, but Sean Getti’s site is the exception. Toronto based photographer has been doing his thing in the scene for quite some time now. Respect!
