"Felipe Pantone’s work is at the cutting edge of street art. Straddling conventional graffiti, typography and abstraction, his work fuses bold elements of graphic design with highly evolved geometric shapes to create an ultra-modern aesthetic which complements and reacts with the stark modernity of our cityscapes.Drawing on our concerns of the digital age and the speed at which technology is developing, Pantone’s art is like looking several light years ahead into the future and discovering a new language in which to communicate."

Zouassi is another gem in our personal selection of Glitch artist we'd like to meet at The Digital Decade this year. His digital art is a balance between form morphing and pixel drifting creates an hyper speed colourful atmosphere. If you like his art you might also like his video homage made for Animal Collective below
As we are planning to run our 4th Glitch Digital Art collaboration The Digital Decade 2016 very soon, we are all four into new names on pop art scene. Here is our new finding - Liron Ashkenazi, she is a multidisciplinary visual designer who thrives to create bold, complex and conceptually driven imagery using 3D illustration, animation, photography, experimental typography and colour. She spends most of her free time exploring new ways to develop her work & loves a good challenge.
"This week, the self-described, Japan-based “nature/tech cult,” Aujik, released the latest episode of their ongoing Polygon Graffiti project, a body of work-slash-virtual experience that operates through a form of augmented reality, allowing artists to insert digitally constructed sculptures into real-world spaces."

Young digital artist David Apollo Marinos (Instagram) has been creating artworks since childhood to get his energy and dynamic thoughts out into this vibrant void. He is a founder of Lucent Kids collective of contemporary digital artists, all that we like
"Every day we are surrounded by data generated by our presence in environments saturated with digital technologies and touch screens. Glitch Textiles, a textile design label originated by Brooklyn-based graphic artist Phillip David Stearns, showcases a stunning set of functional, colourful artworks that bridge the gap between woven textiles and digital art, all designed and inspired by algorithms.
The project explores the histories of woven image making and modern digital technologies, transcoding the computer glitches into stunning garments and functional fabrics. Phillip, whose significant projects include a series of experiments on imaging making and the digital realms, tries to create a dialogue about the influence of digital technologies/material and how they will affect how we live our lives in the future."

"Toronto-based artist Brian Donnelly uses turpentine and hand sanitizer to melt the faces of his portraits into rainbow rivers. Inspired by an interest in human identity and vulnerability, Donnelly paints from real life, portraying features of his subjects with realistic precision. He then allows the artworks’ colors to run, distorting the portraits’ faces."via
"For the series ‘Distortions‘, photographer Stephen Ocampo Villegas – also known as Steoville – creates bizarre self-portraits through photo manipulation."
After reading an awesome study on digital art done by Charmaine Li for iGNANT we revisited some artist mentioned in the article. Here is Andreas Nicolas Fischer, we mentioned few years ago. A Berlin-based artist working with generative systems, physical representations of data as well as visualizations of digital processes. Apart his famous "Schwarm I" generative art complex from 2012, he was in to a lot of new digital experiments exhibited worldwide recently that are worth to explore on his personal website now

"Faig Ahmed distorts the patterns of traditional Azerbaijani rugs, dimantling their structure in order to build compositions that trick the eye by appearing to melt off the wall. By rearticulating the original design, he creates contemporary sculptural forms that look like digital glitches, patterns flatlining halfway through a tapestry or gradually morphing into a digital mosaic." via Colossal
Ahmed lives and works in Baku, Azerbaijan and graduated from the sculpture department of Azerbaijan State Academy of Fine Art in 2004. The artist previously focused on painting, video, and installation, but now currently focuses on textile and sculpture. Ahmed recently had a solo exhibition with Italian gallery Montoro12 titled “Omnia Mutantur, Nihil Interit,” and is currently in the group exhibition “Crafted: Objects in Flux” at The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston until January 10, 2016

Last month, Google revealed that it uses its own artificial intelligence program, known as Artificial Neural Networks, to classify and sort its images.
The technology basically works by spotting patterns in pictures in order to identify them - and it's already being used in Google's new photos app to recognise faces and animals. You can follow #deepdream for more weirdness
