TUNDRA x SILASVETA - EPICENTER

November 01, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Digital Art, Motioncollector, Portfolios, Russia, TOP 2015, 2015

One of the best electronic light and projection mapping studios in the world (yes, literally), Russians - TUNDRA and SilaSveta collaborated together to produce an EPICENTER immersive installation to celebrate 7th Anniversary of ARMA17 in Moscow

"Each group created an installation that places the viewer in the “epicenter of borderless creativity.” Tundra’s piece, Halo, creates eerie scenes such as a lightning storm and a fire, playing with space and criss-crossing beams of light. A figure weaves in and out of the beams, getting closer and closer but ultimately disappearing into the darkness. The soundtrack consists of choral music overlaid with what sounds like either rain or a scorching forest." says The Creators Project

Technical support: Robe Lighting, Light Logic Special thanks: Mix Pro, ARMA17 Team As well as: Dmitry Znamensky, Ildar Yakubov, Egor Kraft, Bulat Sharipov Filming and editing: Evgeniy Arkhipov vimeo.com/tunddra robe.cz lightlogic.ru fb.com/silasveta fb.com/dpulseband fb.com/monoleakagency

The Martian - UI Screen Graphics

October 15, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Agencies, Digital Art, Motioncollector, USA, 2015

I'm not a big fan of movies especially sci-fi but the work behind the scenes always fascinated me. Apart of the rumours that there is a crowdfunding campaign to return Matt Damon from Mars, the movie itself is captivating and first of all with its smart use of interface. After discovering GMUNK's work over "Tron" interfaces at OFFF festival few years ago, the way we see UI in movies raised the bar (sorry not to mention the Shell in Matrix).Here is the new, absolutely stunning and definitely painstaking work done by Territory Studio for "The Martian" movie. Working closely with NASA, Territory developed a series of deft and elegant concepts that combine factual integrity and filmic narrative, yet are forward looking and pushing NASA’s current UI conventions as much as possible.

In all Territory delivered around 400 screens for on-set playback, most of them featuring interactive elements. With 85 screens on the NASA Mission Control set alone, a number of which were 6mx18m wall screens, there are many moments in which the graphics become a dynamic bridge between Earth and Mars, narrative and action, audience and characters.

Steve McGhee

August 21, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Digital Art, Photography, Portfolios, USA, 2015

The guru of photography manipulations Steve McGhee. Let him say for himself: "My work reflects a personal interest in things human beings have little or no control over. We walk through life feeling like we’re indestructible, while in reality, we’re just the opposite. In the days and weeks following a major catastrophes,, people tend to reboot – we get shocked back into being human. That is to say, we react in an undeniably human way… whenever tragedy strikes in the world people come together to help those directly affected. It’s just too bad we have to be reminded that we’re human in such terrible ways."

Genesis by Panoply

August 12, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Digital Art, Motioncollector, Portfolios, United Kingdom, 2015

Check the new motion work directed by Panoply (run by Mark Lindner and Renaud Futterer). "Through a combination of powerful imagery and atmospheric pace Genesis dares us to fleetingly glimpse our own origins, our civilisation and the known universe. Drawing heavily on a visual currency distilled from the subconscious and the psychology of self, we are taken on a stark journey marrying rippling, organic forms with stern, unyielding geometry. Fragile human constructs such as truth, individuality and hope are both recognised and relinquished while dark, billowing fabric reminds us of the shrouded nature of existence."

Remake by Jeff Hamada

August 10, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Digital Art, 2015

"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."

We totally missed this work few years ago but it does not get dated through times. Check out "Oscillate" experimental video created by Daniel Sierra for his thesis in 2013

My goal with "Oscillate" was to visualize waveform patterns that evolve from the fundamental sine wave to more complex patterns, creating a mesmerizing audio-visual experience in which sight and sound work in unison to capture the viewer's attention.
