Most Interesting Digital Experiences in 2016

December 29, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in 2016, TOP 2016

With no doubts "digital art" and everything around establishing a new era in our cultural history right here, right now. With our personal annual collaboration The Digital Decade we raise the bar for ourselves and artists involved, and next year we are going to hit the Digital Experience more than ever. Meanwhile we look at the magicians working in digital art industry, using spaces as canvases and light as a tool. Enjoy our selection of best installations went this year around the globe.


Immorphosis

 

Immorphosis - 360 ° projection space, created by french Collectif Scale for the club space of La Gaîté Lyrique museum in Paris. The viewer can immerse himself in one of the four video tracks, controlling them through the interface in the central part of the installation.


U-Machine - Genèse

 

A pole dancer appears to bend light in this mesmerizing projection mapped performance by U-Machine. 


Our Time by United Visual Artists

 

Our Time (2016) is the latest large-scale installation by United Visual Artists investigating our subjective experience of the passing of time. How long is a moment? At what rate does time actually pass? The work joins a series of kinetic sculptures that began with Momentum (2013); an installation designed as a 'spatial instrument' that was to reveal the relationship between expectation and perception when intersected with a physical space. Our Time defines a physical environment where pendulums swing at a pace apparently unhindered by the laws of nature and where no single time measurement applies. The installation combines movement, light and sound as a multi-sensory, multi-dimensional canvas the visitor can enter. Pendulums swing, each to their own rhythm, as time flows through the grid. With light tracing the path and sound its echo, the passing of time becomes almost palpable.


A World of Wonders

 

"When you stand among the handiwork of teamLab, a Japanese tech art studio, you’re seemingly transported to a sprawling foreign land that engulfs you in a vibrant, light-filled splendor. This immersive approach is now the focus of a massive exhibition that spans 3,000 square meters (over 32,000 square feet) and is called DMM.Planets Art by teamLab. It showcases a variety of the group’s digital work throughout the years, including new pieces just revealed to the public.


My Whale installation by TUNDRA

 

Reimagined and bigger scale version of interactive hexagonal installation “MyWhale” which was originally produced as a site-specific interactive installation by Tundra for “Brusov”, a renovated ship, laid up on Moscow river and turned into an art-cluster.
The inner revision of MyWhale was specially made for “9 Lights in 9 Rooms” exhibition at D MUSEUM (Seoul, Korea) and was visited by more than 200.000 visitors during the period of exhibition.


First VR Space Car Test-Drive by DEPARTÁMENT

 

 

Using dome-shaped futuristic construction shelling Audi A4 inside of #a4space VR Installation, Moscow-based event production team DEPARTÁMENT level up the virtual reality experience stepping outside simple frames of plastic glasses. The whole Audi A4 car become a sort of "oculus" on wheels delivering the physical imitation of zero-gravity forces and "driving" people into the new worlds projected and synchronised with the driver gestures. Total thing was programmed and designed by SILA SVETA.


Hakanaï projection mapping dance performance by Adrien M and Claire B

 

Hakanaï is a solo choreographic performance that unfolds through a series of images in motion. In Japanese Hakanaï denotes that which is temporary and fragile, evanescent and transient, and in this case something set between dreams and reality. This symbolic relationship is the foundation of the dance composition in which a dancer gives life to a space somewhere between the borders of imagination and reality, through her interactions with the images she encounters. 


Rio 2016 Beginning of Life projection mapping by Susi Sie

 

The 128 meter projection for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Rio 2016 Title: Beginning Of Life I Client: Olympic Games I Agency: Oito Zero Oito I Creative Director: Fabio Soares, Fernando Meirelles I Visual Artist: Susi Sie I Music and Sound Design: Antonio Pinto

"Liz West creates a multi-coloured rainbow space for Bristol Biennial. Known for her vibrant light installations, the artist filled an empty office block with gel-filtered, fluorescent shades, from radiant red to nostalgic violet. West wanted to build a sensory experience that will put human perception in focus. ‘Our Colour’ site-specific project let her find that the eye travelling through an entire palette will most likely return to the colour it finds most comfortable and pause to enjoy it."

ICARUS by Vadim Sherbakov

December 15, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Motioncollector, Russia, TOP 2016, 2016
““Icarus” is my non-narrative short drone film and really a homage to an awesome piece of technology, Phantom 3 Pro, that travels with me for the past 2 years to many many locations. From rocky cliffs of Isle of Skye to the mighty Dolomites in Italy. From unearthly Icelandic landscapes to lake belfry in Russia. Never in a million years have I though it would be possible to capture worlds beauty from this new and exiting prospects. New technology gives us this creative freedom and I am going to explore it furthermore.”

Intangible Matter by Lucy Hardcastle

December 12, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Digital Art, United Kingdom, TOP 2016, 2016

We deeply hope this is a last year to raise the humiliating question of women role in art.. in everything, especially when the audience is 60% of you - the best ever Earth can give. For DC it was essential from the start to praise female work and speak about projects like "The Fifth Sense" (even it's based on commercial platform) that are revealing female talents worldwide. The Fifth Sense is a new initiative run by i-D Magazine and Chanel. Below we share the epic project delivered by young British digital artist Lucy Hardcastle aimed to sense the beautiful scent via digital online installation..

Taking her brief from The Fifth Sense, she wanted to combine the idea of scent with the already existing sensory angle of her work and make something unique. The result is inspiring and impressive: a jewellery box of compartments and chambers to discover online – actual objects that you want to touch and lick that have the duality of being hyper-real but also action filled digital responses. “In terms of a website, it’s really something that hasn’t been done before – people haven't had the reason to make a site built with WebGL that's so visual. We wanted to make work that makes other people question how we did it.”

"Intangible Matter" is a digital journey to make the invisible, visible. Inspired by CHANEL Nº5 L’Eau. Explore the physical and virtual elements of scent by deconstructing its unseen elements, combining the scientific yet emotive components of fragrance in a digital space. Each individual journey is unique to the user through the interactions and tasks of each space, creating a visual and sonic world of discovery. 

At still only 24, Lucy Hardcastle is simultaneously studying her masters in Information Experience Design at the Royal College of Art. “Think of it as interactive design but grounded in data. I have a real gang of creatives,” she continues, “I just feel that as a young person, as long as you carve out a space for yourself and have a community, then you’ll be cool."

John Lewis Christmas Advert 2016

Who does not love traditions? Neither we are. Here is a new year-waited Christmas advert presented by UK retail store network John Lewis. But here is the funny fact - it was a false-start last week when someone spotted a student work dedicated to John Lewis Christmas topic and push it through social web and medias so it gained a million of views. But lets watch original one and compare it to previous ads from year 2015, 2014 and 2013
