MULTIMEDIA:ANDY LANKFORD PRESENTATION FOR GOOGLE

Andy Lankford was invited to speak at Google's Zeitgeist event last fall. The event, organized by Google, invited leaders of our time to discuss perspectives on global issues.

Andy asked our help to produce an innovative presentation. We decided to create 10 short video clips of 1 to 2 minutes each using photos and multimedia material available at atlas.ch.

The result is a visual presentation, with almost no text, about all the aspects of the ATLAS experiment.

The full presentation with voice over is available at:
