We designed a new publication with photographer @caitoppermann , published by ACTUAL SOURCE books (@actual_source ). It is available now. IBM Research features photographs taken by Cait at IBM Research facilities in Almaden (CA), Yorktown (NY), and Zurich (CH), between 2018 and 2024. This series of photographs is part of a rich legacy of artists making work for IBM, a company that has collaborated with many of the world’s foremost artists, designers, and thinkers like Paul Rand, Charles and Ray Eames, and Ansel Adams. These photographs represent years of collaboration between Oppermann and IBM, showing the people and projects that make IBM Research an incubator for innovation.

Design for @atmos Volume 11 MICRO/MACRO “Our universe is an endless series of worlds within worlds. From the molecular ones we carry to the vastness of the cosmos, everything comes down to scale. Atmos Volume 11: Micro/Macro will look at patterns, systems, and size—exploring the fragility and interconnectedness of life on our planet, from enchanting microcosms to towering biomes. Its stories will examine local and global theories of change, the scalability of solutions, invisible lifeforms and giant megafauna, and the role of micro actors in shaping macro systems: transforming ourselves to transform the world.” Please visit Atmos on Instagram for all the great photographer / writer credits from this issue Thank you @jakesarge and @willowonearth
