Our love for Google part 2

It's undisputed that the minds behind Google are truly brilliant and have interests and talents outside of the programming world. Ji Lee, New York-based designer and creative director of branding and marketing at Google, is working on a project he called "Parallel World" (http://pleaseenjoy.com/project.php?cat=4&subcat=&pid=75) "Parallel World" as featured on his personal site shows images of Lee's recreation of entire rooms in miniature form on cielings.

He explains saying:

“People fill the floor of their homes with furniture and walls with paintings and pictures. So why are the ceilings left empty? Decorating ceilings was a celebrated art form in the past centuries that somehow got lost through the reductionism of modernism. People don’t look at the ceiling anymore. It’s a dead space. So I wanted to bring a small wink to this space. I also liked the idea that somehow there’s a parallel world which coexists with ours.”http://flavorwire.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/01.rocker_final.jpg
