However, this partnership has also produced a collection of digital illustrations and animations which will be ed throughout the GE social network, kick starting further conversation about the machines that contribute to today’s society across industries from aviation to technology and healthcare.The images will be optimised using the GE network and the magazines will be available for international purchase at the Kult online store, Kult Galleryand various locations around Singapore.
