Remake by Jeff Hamada

in , ,

"Four years ago, Booooooom creator Jeff Hamada asked the internet to join in on an art challenge to recreate their favourite old master paintings as contemporary photographs. The Remake Project sparked many professional and amateur artists to create elaborate sets, paint their bodies, paint their friends’ bodies, and take their own shot at works by artists from Dali to Magritte. This collection of original paintings and their contemporary counterparts has now taken the form of a book released through Chronicle Books titled Remake: Master Works of Art Reimagined."

FIELD x @Monotype - TYPE REINVENTED

in , , ,

In three unique digital art installations, FIELD and Monotype explore the future of typography. The digital triptych consists of "Glyph.Index", "Sensual Power" and "Responsive Energy"

field-monotype1

Glyph.Index An elegant and energetic experience revealing the sophisticated craftsmanship of our industry’s most treasured typefaces, paired with dynamic, motion-controlled visuals and sound. Software Development by David Li, Patrick Fürst, Tak Fung, Marco Weber Documentary by Santiago Arbelaez - La Familia

field-monotype2

Sensual Power Glyph.Index is an infinite interactive journey through the vast spectrum of Unicode glyphs in Noto Sans and its 96 font variations – the only typeface designed to represent every symbol in every language. Shown at Resonate Festival in Belgrade, Glyph.Index celebrates the global community and its cultural diversity in playful, rhythmical, ever-changing patterns. Art Direction + Design by Hudson-Powell Software Development by David Li, Patrick Fürst Sound Design by Box of Toys Audio Filming by Colin Solal Cardo Edit by Aurelien Boisson Grade by Josh Warren at Okay Studio

field-monotype3

Responsive Energy Responsive Energy, the third installation artwork in the series, explores typefaces in context with space, material and light. In a percussive sequence, bold letter shapes define spatial compositions, melt into tactile surfaces, and form out of dynamic generative processes.

Abstract Digital Art by Sam Chirnside

in , , , ,

"Sam Chirnside (previously) is an Australian born graphic artist, working between New York City and Melbourne.Informed by the notion of altered states of consciousness, Sam’s work is an exercise in contradictions of order and incomprehension. Collage elements, oil-like pastel distortions optical illusions and esoteric iconography contrast with a balanced composition. In combination with an evident interest in ancient civilizations and sacred geometry (a discipline that popularises proof of cosmic significance, divine design intervention and above all, order) the resultant body of work is as close to a disorientation of the senses as design can achieve – and that is just how he likes it."

Google's "Deep Dream" Artificial Visual Machine

in , ,

Last month, Google revealed that it uses its own artificial intelligence program, known as Artificial Neural Networks, to classify and sort its images.

The technology basically works by spotting patterns in pictures in order to identify them - and it's already being used in Google's new photos app to recognise faces and animals. You can follow #deepdream for more weirdness

Watch Classical Sculptures Spring To Life Through The Magic Of Projection Mapping

in , , , , ,

Walk through any good art classical museum, and the statues can seem so real, it's almost as if they'll come to life if turn your back on them. At France's Lyon Museum of Fine Arts, for at least one night, that's exactly what happened.

golem-mba-lyon1

The museum asked artist Arnaud Pottier to bring sculptures, including Laurent Honore Marqueste's Perseus Slaying Medusa, James Pradier's Odalisque, and Barrias' Les Premières Funérailles, to life. His method was pretty simple: He used projection mapping, which can turn anything—including statues—into a display.
