100 Frames is a brand new collaboration between Animator and Director - Fraser Davidson, Actor and Writer - Dan Jones and Producer - Matthew Harvey. The idea is simple - to create 4 second animation (exactly 100 frames) for each alphabet letter representing something very London-ish and special.

Gifted Russian illustrator Anton Marrast recently finished few new artworks that illustrate Gabriel Garcia Marquez stories. What I prefer in Anton's works is a perfect sense of surreal art mixed with deep thoughts of a subject and polished with awesome skills in digital techniques. We follow Anton's works since old times and were really happy to collaborate with him for our iPad Mag Zero last year. We also featured Anton works at OFFF 2011 (pity we will miss OFFF 2012 that happens in next two weeks).
Original Prints, T-shirts and other goodies are available for purchase on Anton's online store http://society6.com/Marrast
On my opinion, "Tomorrowland" photography project by Ben Sandler is an attempt to imagine our reality without digital innovation and still analogue. It is a kind of the future I would like to make a stop in.

Literally I was mesmerized till the end of this video presenting controllable mapping inside lomouc Baroque Chapel, Czech. Prague based media studio The Macula uses mapping projection to turn the cathedral interior to the large music installation with interactive elements activated by laser points. I think this case has a huge potentials in educational entertainments for kids and grown-ups.
Magnus Gjoen's prints examines how to change peoples relationship and preconceived notions of objects. Something which is potentially extremely destructive can be made into beautiful yet fragile objects of art. Taking inspiration from street and pop art and juxtapositioning it with fine art, he creates new and modern takes on old masterpieces or manipulates something powerful and strong into something fragile but beautiful. Magnus Gjoen was born in London to Norwegian parents and studied design in London and Milan and works as a designer/graphic designer for Vivienne Westwood.
You might remember PostPanic from last OFFF festival releasing shock motion titles for it (featuring Designcollector in one inappropriate scene). Okay that was awesome artistic work and now take a look at commercial outdoors projection PostPanic did for Experis.

"There's something incredibly liberating and majestic about this short animation from Brooklyn-based 3D artist and programmer Paris Mavroidis. Created while Mavroidis was pursuing his MFA in Digital Arts at Pratt Institute, "Divers" was inspired by the elaborate dance pieces of Busby Berkeley, mass gymnastics, and experimental cinema from the 20's and 30's." via Juxtapoz
