Wieden + Kennedy launch new Nokia site

Wieden + Kennedy have just launched a website for Nokia with some collaborations with some great generative artists - marius watz, univeral everything, marcus wendt, MoreSoon and SHFT.

The chaps at WK kindly dropped us a line about it and told us, “We let those guys go pretty crazy visualising the beauty of communication (some datavis, other motion) and also on the site you can play with the site and use your webcam and mic to create generative art.” Check out some ace videos of the project and some awesome artwork in Marius Watz’s Flickr stream.
