Instagramer Menchee Creates Immersive Abstractions Out of Miami’s Architecture

Instagram user Michael Menchero, who goes by the tag Menchee, has shot many of Miami's best and lesser known works architecture to create incredibly immersive abstract stills and videos. Not always easily recognizable as buildings in Miami, or even buildings at all, trying to identify which condo tower, hotel, or office building each one is can be pretty entertaining. Menchero never identifies the structures, but he does at least say what city they're in (which is helpful because his work goes beyond Miami). And sometimes he throws a subtle little joke in, like making one particularly luxurious condo blast off into space. Below is a selection of really just a few of his best works, while many, many more are on Instagram.

Fake Educational Group Attempts to Scam Patrons of the Frost Museum of Science on the Eve of Its Opening

Support from the NEA made these exhibitions and projects possible, while furthering the museum’s ability to leverage other major grants and donations.
