FLYING OBJECT

Where tech meets arts and culture.

Uncover the hidden layer of arts and culture in every day life.

I was invited to direct a variety of short promotional videos for Google Arts and Culture, showcasing surprising combinations and use cases of their breakthrough new features such as Colour Picker, Art Projector and most famously the Art Selfie.

I worked closely with the GAC and Flying Object to create an energetic visual tone and treatment under the theme ‘Where tech meets arts and culture’.

The videos premiered at the Google I/O conference and was broadcast online reaching a viewing audience of 2.8 million.
