Google Weblab is nominated for a Webby Award

A post on the Science Museum blog today announced our project at the Science Museum for Google, Chrome Weblab, has been nominated three awards at this year’s Webby Awards, including one for the Best Visual Design – Aesthetic category. Normally these awards go to ‘virtual’ designs, so for a physical project to be nominated is pretty unusual – and highly prestigious. We’d be highly delighted if you were to follow the link to the awards & vote for the Weblab in the best visual design category! At last count, the project was in the lead with 52% of the vote, so the project has a very good chance of being honoured.

Google’s Weblab at the Science Museum

Designed by Google to showcase their groundbreaking Chrome Experiments, this year-long exhibition is now live in London, and on the internet.  Designed as a physical and virtual exhibition, visitors can physically interact with exhibits by visiting the museum, or access them online, twenty-four hours per day.  The lighting gives a ‘clean room’ style to the basement area of the Science Museum, whilst pools of warmth draw the visitor to the five distinct exhibit areas.
