ADOBE: RANDOM ACTS OF CREATIVITY

Martin Venezky

This massive installation debuted for the opening of Adobe System’s “Random Acts of Creativity” campaign at their San Jose, California, headquarters. With the help of 3000 newly-created photographs, I transformed a sea of grey monolithic columns into a kaleidoscope of color and form. The spectacle was only installed for a week, but it made a real impact which we captured with yet another set of photographs.
