Technogenica 2022 by Guiseppe Lo Schiavo

January 12, 2022 by Arseny Vesnin in 2022, Digital Art, Italy, Portfolios, NFT Art, Motioncollector

Technogenica 2022

Giuseppe Lo Schiavo

We evolve technology. Technology evolves us.
Technogenica is a short movie animation where humanoids, technology and uncontaminated nature collaborate in a performative and theatrical act.

View fullsize technogenica-6.jpeg
View fullsize technogenica-4.jpeg

Technology and digital media are becoming more and more woven into the fabric of everyday life and we are evolving alongside; and the process is mutualistic.

The title Technogenica comes from ‘Technogenesis’, a thesis by Bernard Stiegler and N. Katherine Hayles clinically defined as a process of “adaptation, the fit between organisms and their environments (humans and technologies) undergoing coordinated transformations.” 

View fullsize technogenica-3.jpeg
View fullsize technogenica-2.jpeg

Humans have always been interconnected with their environment and co-evolved with it. This process is common in nature, examples are coral and coral reefs, birds and bird’s nests, plants and oxygen. We’re part of nature, and so is everything we make and use. Likewise, technology is part of nature.

In the last 500 years, technology has always been an essential tool in connecting and shaping the future. To reinforce the dialogue between past and future, the artist has designed a hybrid scenography combining contemporary theatre elements and robotics with ancient ruins inspired by the Unesco site of Palmyra.
The artist created light and photography of the piece by studying the work of visionary painters from the past such as Vermeer, Jan van Eyck, Robert Campin and even Tiziano, Antonello da Messina. 

Lo Schiavo created the vocals of the song with a virtual female vocalist modelled on the voice of a real professional soprano singer. This is one of the first examples created with this technology and the computer-generated vocals reinforce the symbiotic human-technology relationship. 
For the last scene, the artist has acquired an Intracytoplasmic sperm injection video shot by a camera from a microscope lens (In Vitro Fertilization). IVF is the most effective form of assisted reproductive technology to date.

The original orchestral music was composed by Arnaud Hug, an international award-winning music composer that creates music for films, theatre shows and advertisements. He has worked for Netflix, Nike, Adidas, BMW and many more.

“The works of Demetz seem to be still frames of a serial, which needs to be discovered and of which the artist anticipates only some clues; not recognizable stories, but attitudes, something in a potential state, which attends to be resolved into a narrative.”

Surreal Infraland™ by Paolo Pettigiani

April 06, 2021 by Arseny Vesnin in 2021, Italy, Photography, Portfolios, NFT Art
@paolopettigiani

Photographer and art director Paolo Pettigiani combines graphic design and photography playing with colours, shapes and contrasts. 

Infraland™ is a graphic and visual exploration of nature that aims to highlight the beauty that surrounds us and that is too often forgotten. For this project I used digital Infrared photography. This technique enables the full sensitivity of the camera’s sensor, making it sensitive to UV, visible, and IR light.
Elements with chlorophyll, such as grass, leaves and trees, strongly reflect IR light on the invisible wavelength.

“In coherence with the same artistic theme that I have been developing, I wanted to show the contrast of aesthetic ideals, how the concept of beauty has changed and shaped society.
As always I enjoy playing the game representing the contrast between the classical ideals of beauty and the contemporary ‘anti-aesthetic’ of the world of urban hip-hop and graffiti culture.”

The space floats in a suspended time, inhabited by the sun's rays and the moving shadows that dominate the surrounding architectures. The audience crosses a timeless place, where time is different, where sunrise and sunset meet, the suns are multiple and the twilight drowns in a stroboscopic dawn. A 360 degree video-mapping that, thanks to the use of 49 video projectors, simulates the movement of the sun around and inside the hall of the Salone degli Incanti in Trieste.

RORSCHACH

September 16, 2020 by Arseny Vesnin in 2020, Digital Art, Motioncollector, Italy
“Fascinated by the shapes of the so-called RORSCHACH “inkblot” tests,
I felt the need to animate these symmetrical structures.
I wanted to bring them to life. And – most of all – into the three-dimensional space.”
— Remo Gambacciani

“Since the shapes are not perfectly symmetrical, I looked for a way to mirror my structures early on in the process and created the fine details on top.

I liked the play with the materiality. The inkblots in these tests have very soft and flowing shapes. Contrary to that, I wanted to design the surface materiality of my objects in a very hard and stony way. The movement of the object though should still be morphing and flowing.

A very nice aspect and a parallel to abstract art in general is the fact that everyone reads something different from these forms or focuses on a different detail.”

Inside Art by Notoo Studio

April 03, 2020 by Arseny Vesnin in 2020, Digital Art, Italy, Portfolios

Notoo Studio is an Italian creative laboratory specialized in the production of 3D and photographic images, installation and set design. Inside Art is a project that pays homage to art masters like Escher and De Chirico.

View fullsize notoo-inside-art.jpg
View fullsize notoo-inside-art1.jpg
“Inside Art is an artistic project that starts from the idea of recreating a purely two-dimensional world in 3D. The concept behind it is to bring back to life the style, shapes and colors that inspired the artist, thus creating a completely conceptual space where abstract work comes into contact with design and contemporary furnishings.

We wanted to give our interpretation of the paintings of artists such as Giorgio De Chirico, Mondrian, Magritte and Giorgio Morandi, bringing their style into the world of 3D, and creating dreamlike but at the same time contemporary environments that would allow a total immersion in the world of the painters”

Elisabetta Benassi (Rome, 1966) is an Italian artist. In her work she critically observes the cultural, political and artistic legacy of modernity, as well as broader, often controversial political and cultural themes of our time. Using diverse media – installation, photography, video – she thus emotionally engages and questions the viewer while tracing troubled and contested timelines. From the background of her pieces emerges a questioning of contemporary identity and of the conditions of the present. Her work has been shown at several venues worldwide, including the Venice Biennale.
