Captured @ Cannes

 

With Cannes Lions 2016 winding down for another year, we take a moment to look at what’s caught our eye and got the industry talking about over the last 24 hours in what will be our final day on La Croisette!

This Ice Exhibit has been turning heads this week. As part of a collaboration with Instagram and Facebook, the artist (left), known as ‘Hula’, has been working on an ice sculpture painting. Check out @the_hula to see more of his work!

The Next Rembrandt’ took the industry by a storm this week, picking up two Grand Prix awards, the Innovation Lion award and 15 Cannes Lions awards in total. The project was a collaborative effort between ING, J Walter Thompson and Microsoft, demonstrating the art of what’s possible when data and creativity come together. Check out more here
