Shift Save Movement

in , , ,

How to make simple hedron sexy and appeal? Here is the answer from German students Hojin Kang and Fabian Mansmann. Their diploma project "Shift - Save Movement" is kind of reflection on a metaphoric triangle: Human Nature, the Creator and Technology. The installation shows the blend of Human and Technology and digitally explores the boundaries of this collision.

Kandinsky Type by Sinan Buyukbas

in , , ,

This is kind of a creep situation when less and less Russian designers calls to national history of art and design in their work (even most of them are fashion designers). The history that literally gave a birth to European and American schools of Design that is developing nowadays. Take a look at amazing research and development of Kandinsky's works that later became a typography study created by Sinan Buyukbas.

Sundays - A Film About Our Future by PostPanic

in , ,

"Sundays (working title) is a feature film idea created and written by Dutch commercials director Mischa Rozema. It is a project he has been living and sleeping with for the past years. It is the result of stories inhabiting his head, images that need to be visualised and the the desire to create a film completely different to anything we’ve seen before. The story is there, so is the research. What we are asking your help with is the opportunity to create a short film - the first step on the path to realising a feature film - using the skills and passion of Mischa and his team at PostPanic and Savage."

"We're raising money through Kickstarter to make this short film. We want to show what is visually possible when creative integrity is closely guarded from the beginning. We don’t want to risk diluting Mischa’s vision by 3rd parties forcing him to become more mainstream and commercial. We want to show what he is capable of as a storyteller when he has complete control over the direction."

LiquiData Multitouch

in , , ,

LiquiData is a multitouch application to explore your personal movement profile and to show other people engaging places by adding photos and comments with the help of your smartphone. It can be seen as a rating system that offers people the possibility to discover new spots in an unknown surrounding e.g. during a city-visit. Although a smartphone is not necessary to interact with the system, it offers you the possibility to give insights to your movements through the city and lets you compare your mental map with the reality. For instance, this system could give guests of a hotel (lobby) the option to share their walked trails and show other visitors their favorite coffee shops or parks.

Emergence by Susi Sie

in , , ,

Cologne based visual artist Susi Sie released her latest motion film "Emergence" and we had a chance to speak with her about it

DC: What is the main plot and idea of "Emergence"?

Susie: Primarily this film (like my other films "BLACK" and "FLOAT") started as an experiment with liquids. At the beginning I had totally no idea which images I would get and which story I wanted to tell, so everything developed time after time. I like the conclusion of less being more, so I´m always looking for a way to tell stories in an abstract way, giving the observer the opportunity to interpret my films in his own way.

DC: What was the hardest challenge in the project you get through?

Susie: I think the hardest challenge in this project was to keep my motivation on a high level, even after months of failing and testing and filming and editing everything again and again until I was satisfied with the final result. Sometimes I forget, that making art, which I regard as my passion, is attached with a lot of really, really hard work. Good work takes time to develop, and interestingly, the final result is always something which you couldn´t have imaged at the beginning.

DC: How long did it take you to complete the video?

It took me about 9 months to complete this film... In the first steps, I made a lot of experiments with the black fluid, mixed with water and soap and tested many lenses to find out the best way to film the fluid. It also took me a while to develop a story behind these images. I think it´s important not to totally focus on a certain idea, to give the project the opportunity to develop itself in unexpected directions.
