Since seemingly abandoned the bottle silhouette ads, Absolut's work has become more and more incomprehensible (anyone else remember the much-too-heavily CG ads from about eight months ago?). Nifty piece of animation on the web site, but nifty simply for the sake of being nifty.

I beleave that the bottle silhouette ads were just de beginig of things like this. Good work guys!
The bottle ads are a long-standing, highly recognizable campaign that has nothing whatsoever to do with this. I gather this is like the thing on here a couple of weeks ago that had Stoli as a sponsor for a fashion/art exhibit. The end result of those materials, while nicely designed, werent connected at all to Stoli's current internationals. The same thing seems to apply here as well: sponsorship of an event.
But the flash animation is still just flash-for-flash-sake.

It's a website, not an ad. Click the link.

Anyone care to translate the descricptive text in the screen shot above?
From http://www.adverbox.com/absolut-barcelona/:
Absolut and Wysiwyg join their forces again to transfer the brand’s global concept into different local realities.
IN AN ABSOLUT WORLD everything would be perfect. Madrid would have a beach, Malvarrosa’s coastal line would be virgin and in Barcelona… you’d go by bike. Absolut and Wysiwyg join their forces again to transfer the brand’s global concept into different local realities. And this time the chosen city is Barcelona. A smokeless Barcelona, without traffic jams, where bike is the main means of transport.
On the webpage, Barcelona’s citizens can find out if they are ready for this city. Through an interactive game, visitors have to pass an original three-question exam with one single goal: to get their bike driving license, the logical substitute for todays, obsolete driving license.
Would you be able to recognise bike-designed traffic signs? Would your bike always be ready? And when talking about acrobatics on two wheels, would you be up to it? Maybe you think so, but it won’t be so easy. Even less if you consider that the examiner won’t be willing to giving the pass away…
The concept is implemented with a real event, the 1st Barcelona’s Bike Film Festival: a film festival you could only attend if you went by bike. Movies were shown related to the world of bikes, like E.T. or The Goonies. The website reinforced the advertising of the event on internet, and also collected the multimedia material for it.
So, you, uh, work for these guys, huh?
This reads like a press release.
