Intangible Matter by Lucy Hardcastle
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."

Mayfair hotel Claridge's has unveiled its 2016 festive installation, this year designed by Sir Jony Ive and Marc Newson
The unveiling of the Claridge’s Christmas tree has traditionally heralded the start of London’s festive season, not least because of the illustrious roster of designers who have headlined the Mayfair hotel’s installations. For 2016, it is designers (and long-time friends of the hotel) Sir Jony Ive and Marc Newson who have taken up the challenge of reinterpreting the tree.

Martin Wittfooth
Martin Wittfooth was born in 1981 in Toronto, Canada. He spent his childhood in Finland, before moving back to Canada as a teenager. Through his paintings, Martin presents a world which is dystopian by its very definition. The Earth he depicts is void of human life, and filled with strong symbolic implications that the root cause is of our own making; pricipally our disconnection from, and disrespect for, the natural world.
Nike Free Experience
Nike approached Amsterdam-based studio Random to create their new outdoor experience using cutting edge technologies

We created a range of hands-on digital and physical tools to enable the Nike teams to interact in a tactile way with the technology.”

Residual
RESIDUAL - An art film directed by Marek Okon is about an artist struggling to realise her creative vision during an intense period of introspection, pain and beauty.
‘Residual’ conjures an intensely personal look at the inner struggle of a creative soul looking to externalise her inner voice into tangible artistic expression. As the struggle moves forward, the artist dives in and out of her thoughts—bobbing up and down on the powerful swells of possibility. Trying to forge progress before the weight of her imagination comes crashing down around her. Only time will tell if this artistic quest will result in breakthrough, insanity or something else all together...
The film showcases Syban Velardi-laufer, a London based performance artist and costume designer who at the time was working on her collection for her Masters in fashion from Bunka university in Tokyo.
