Turkish photographer Aydın Büyüktaş used a drone (and photoshop) to warp Istanbul’s cityscapes into Inception-style curves. He claims to have been influenced by 1884 satirical novella Flatland, not Inception, but yeeeaaahhh…

With ads creeping into more aspects of our lives, Dutch production company Studio Smack have imagined what branded dreams might look like. And it seems appropriate that the brand they chosen is branding behemoth Coke:

Gustav Klimt’s ‘The Kiss‘ is one of my wife’s favourite paintings, so this should be right up your street, love.
For the Style Bible (the brochure, I think) for the 2015 Life Ball (an annual AIDS charity event) in Vienna, the photographer Inge Prader recreated the paintings of the famous Vienna resident’s ‘Golden Phase’.
The set and costume design have beautifully captured Klimt’s richness, ornamentation and highly decorative aesthetic. This can’t have been cheap to put together, but they’ve got some gorgeous photos out of it:

Slim Jims are one of those American snacks that I have no idea even what part of the food pyramid it’s from (it looks like a pepperami, but it’s crunchy?). This ad in no way helped with that. It did make me laugh though:

This is cool. With the help from online fundraising and sponsorship from Red Bull, a group of skaters called the ‘Church Brigade’ have restored a 100 year-old, abandoned church in Austurias, Spain and converted it into a skate park dubbed the Kaos Temple.
As if having a skate park inside a beautiful abandoned church wasn’t enough, artist Okuda San Miguel was commissioned to cover the walls and vaulted ceilings with colourful geometric figures:

Pablo Carlos Budassi has decided that the universe being ‘infinite’ isn’t an incomprehensibly, mind-melting abstraction, it’s a challenge.
Using vast numbers of satellite images and photos snapped from NASA’s rovers, he painstakingly pieced together many of the prominent features of the universe as observed from our solar system in the form of a logarithmic map. Each consecutive ‘ring’ from the centre of the map represents several orders of magnitude further than the one before it.
Budassi was helped by similar (less beautiful) logarithmic maps produced by astronomers at Princeton back in 2005:

Like all agency self-promotion work, this recruitment ad for BBH does walk the line of coming off a bit smug, but the writing in it is very, very well done (and filming people at work and not making them look self-conscious is always impressive):
