The 50 Digital Artists we curated offline in 2017

December 27, 2017 by Arseny Vesnin in Digital Decade, Digital Art, Events, United Kingdom, Art, 2017

Instead of doing our classic Cream of the Top we decided to look back and underline the best thing we did this year. Definitely it was the 5th instalment of Digital Decade collaboration with 50 artists (let's say top artists of 2017 by our version) that ended in August as a group show of Phygital Art in London. And it wouldn't happen without a great support of the partners listed below:

Curated by Arseny Vesnin

The concept of Digital Decade5: Cyberia was “the Unknown Territories Shaped by the Digital Ethnos”. This, “Ethnos” refers to the generation of digital people that are changing our world, and continuing to influence our culture. As our world becomes increasingly digital, it ultimately transforms to become a ‘Cyberia’.

Identity of Cyberia

The whole identity of Digital Decade 5 was created by famous artist Ruslan Khasanov who has recently won ADC Young Gun 15 Award and Behance selected him to decorate their own Behance Decade :)

First us then Apple

The curator of Digital Decade and Designcollector founder Arseny Vesnin was happy enough to cross path with leading artist Shane Griffin whose works you can see on iPhone X and 8 now. But long before this, he created a special artwork for Cyberia collaboration

The idea to get on board one of the pioneer of digital art - Aristarkh Chernyshev came to me after I revisited "Electronic Superhighway" exhibition in Whitechapel in 2016. That's how we got his famous electric marquee artwork to the walls of Cyberia exhibition

Our friend and resident of Digital Decade Antwerp-based artist Louise Mertens released large-scaled print series titled AKANE

“A new series I’ve been working on during the past few months. Inspired by time, colors, shapes, textures and many impressions I’ve saved during the process of creating. Akane means ‘Deep Red’, the subtle yet strongest color used in the series. All visuals are directed and developed from beginning till end by me and my amazing team. It’s the first time I’ve been working on such large scale”

The Digital Decade IV London: How it was

July 26, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Digital Decade, 2016

We are happy to share official photographs from the event hosted by Designcollector and Youth Worldwide in London this July. As you may remember the topic of our annual digital art collaboration was "There is No Planet B" where curated and open contest artists faced the challenge to "Imagine there is no.." war or aggression, gender or racial issues, pollution or climate change. Nearly 30 artists were exhibited at Underdog Art Gallery in South London.

This could not happen without our main partner - Depositphotos and guys at Curioos behind awesome aluminium prints and their delivery.

Louise Mertens

Our friend and frequent collaboration artist Louise Mertens rolled up a lot of updates on her personal website. Being a model and an artist on one hand is a double-win, on another is a massive responsibilities for personal challenges. Louise achieves them with a speed of a pain that she splatters across handmade photography collages. After dry up she complete the artwork digitally and send it over fashion editorial or personal exhibition, signed and stamped. Classy works of Belgium design scene.
