Fake Brands by REILLY

April 20, 2017 by Arseny Vesnin in Advertising, Digital Art, Fashion, Graphic Design, Portfolios, United Kingdom, 2017

Working under REILLY name a London-based, Scottish-born graphic designer and art director who for several years now, has been toying cheerily with the logos which we see day in, day out – reworking them with fashion’s greatest mainstays. Given the current proliferation of fake news and high-low collaborations, Reilly saw the fascination with his playful subversion of fashion branding as an opportunity to take things even further, and continued sharing his tongue-in-cheek combinations with the world.

Cristina Burns

April 18, 2017 by Arseny Vesnin in Digital Art, Portfolios, Italy, 2017, Glitch

Cristina Burns is a photographer and a mixed media artist. Her work is characterised by juxtaposition, where opposing elements such as candies, toys, and flowers are fused to anatomical parts and insects, often blurring the extremely thin lines between fantasy and reality, purity and sin, life and death.

This multiplicity of elements are meticulously arranged to create her surrealistic compositions, then she photographs the assemblage, digitally enhance and prints in a limited number of copies, the resulting print is the only record of the artist's process.

April 17, 2017 by Arseny Vesnin in Digital Art, Portfolios, Photography, 2017

Human After All, a collaboration between artists Jan Kriwol and Markos R. Kay, juxtaposes CGI recreations of the human circulatory system with images of urban landscapes

For the series, Kriwol collaborated with London-based digital artist Markos Kay. “I described my vision to few CGI artists and all of them gave up,” he says. “When I described my idea to Markos he said ‘okay’ straight away. He then developed the technique for creating our guy and proposed his form and texture.”

INORI Prayer - Real-time Face Projection Mapping

April 03, 2017 by Arseny Vesnin in Digital Art, Japan, Portfolios, Motioncollector, 2017

Nobumichi Asai (previously) released a new experiences with real-time face projection mapping

INORI (prayer) Super High Speed Face Mapping (1000fps) Making https://vimeo.com/210565827 This project is achieved as collaborative work between AYABAMBI,TOKYO, Ishikawa Watanabe Lab, The University of Tokyo and WOW, responding the call for collaboration by Nobumichi Asai (WOW). Staff Nobumichi Asai [Creative Director | Technical Director - WOW] Shingo Abe [CG Director - WOW] Atsushi Yoshimura [Programmer - WOW] Ayaka Motoyoshi [Assistant Producer - WOW] Eiji Tanigawa [Director | Editor - TOKYO] Senzo Ueno [Director of Photography - TOKYO] Toshiyuki Takei / Shinya Masuda [Producer - TOKYO] Minami Chiwaki / Yuma Yoshimura / Kohei Takayama [Production Manager - TOKYO] Suzuko Ohgaki [Making Director - TOKYO] Aya Sato [Choreographer] AyaBambi [Cast] Oi-chan[Management] Shootings Tomorio Takahashi [Gaffer] Hisashi Morikawa / Mie Inaba / Akihiko Imai [Light Assistant] Takashi Ideguchi [Camera 1st Assistant] Shibuya Hiromi / Fujii Ryosuke [Camera 2nd Assistant] Setsu Fukushima / Ryosuke Taniguchi [Music - Ongakushitsu Inc.] Yosuke Nagao [Music Composer] Yasuo Fukuda [Colorist] Ryota Abe [Online Editor] Mizuki Kawano [Mixer - TAIYO KIKAKU co.,ltd] Special Thanks Yoshihiro Watanabe [Ishikawa Watanabe Laboratory,University of Tokyo] Masatoshi Ishikawa [Ishikawa Watanabe Laboratory,University of Tokyo] Tomoaki Teshima [Exvision] TOKYO ELECTRON DEVICE LIMITED Takeshi Yuasa / Kiwamu Sumino / Hiroshi Watase /Toru Yamashita Atsuko Kushima / Tomoaki Kiguchi www.nobumichiasai.com - - - - - - The director, Tanigawa (TOKYO) made a proposal for the theme of “Life.” First, the soundtrack was composed according along the theme. The creative director, WOW’s Technical Director, Asai and the CG Director, Abe was inspired by the music and then made face mapping work. Aya Sato designed choreography. The crew of TOKYO, which Tanigawa directs, completed the project by making the video work. The music brought Asai the image of “the radioactive.” The destructive force of the radioactive could cause “death,” “suffering,” and “sorrow.” And “prayers” could overcome them. These subjects infuse AYABAMBI’s powerful performance. Their performance crushes and conquer black tears, skulls and the Heart Sutra. We built up the concept during the production and Abe designed animation for face mapping. There was a big challenge in technical aspects. We realized the new mapping system that allows us to follow intense performances by using the latest 1,000 fps projector, DynaFlash(*1) and a super speed sensor. It is very new and it had not been done before. Projected images become part of their skin and they transform their faces. At the beginning of our development, there was an issue, AYABAMBI would loose freedom of performances if we accelerated the tracking speed. Asai, Yoshimura (WOW), Lecturer Watanabe and Teshima (EXVISION) explored how we could keep the tracking speed securing the freedom of performances, taking three months of trial and error to reduce a few milliseconds. And we finally developed this system(*2). AYABAMBI is a dance unit who is internationally acclaimed working with Madonna and high fashion brands. TOKYO is an international award winning video production and famous for videos and commercial films employing technologies. Ishikawa Watanabe Laboratory, the University of Tokyo focuses on the study of the innovative computer vision. This was an exciting opportunity that these talents met WOW, which has amazed the world with tech art like face mapping and VFX. *1 “DynaFlash” is developed jointly by Ishikawa Watanabe Laboratory, the University of Tokyo and is commercialized by Tokyo Electron Device Limited. *2 For tracking hands, we use the dynamic projection mapping technology developed by Ishikawa Watanabe Laboratory, the University of Tokyo. For tracking faces, we use the face mapping technology developed by the visual design studio, WOW inc.

Watch more of his recent works below

About the Work This work was made as a side project to ‘kagami / real-time face generator.’ It can also be seen as a continuation of the real-time face tracking/ projection mapping project ‘Connected Colors,’ which used the colors of the natural world as its theme. As with ‘kagami’, the theme for this work is the beauty of nature. The Japanese word ‘kachofugetsu’ is a compound derived from flower (ka), bird (cho), wind (fu), and moon (getsu), and is intended to evoke the beauty, diversity and harmony of Japan’s natural treasures. Humans once lived as a part of nature, leading spiritual lives in the midst of its bracing aesthetic. Through the medium of electric make-up art, this work encapsulates the idea that this natural beauty contains a set of aesthetic values and a sense of identity of which Japan ought to be proud. In addition to existing technologies, this work introduces a newly designed 4K/240P projector in order to further improve the delicate feel of the skin and make-up and the sense of dynamic motion. Nobumichi Asai (WOW) acted as creative and technical director for ‘kagami’ and ‘Kacho Fugetsu,’ overseeing the planning and development of the project. Noboru Tomizawa, who also collaborated on ‘Connected Colors’, oversaw the makeup art. Beautiful makeup art provides a base over which WOW’s CG animation is projected to evoke the vivacity and motion of nature. Music was provided by hatis noit, using a tonal palette exclusively composed of sounds from nature. Using sounds from her native Hokkaido, the sound of the wind over the plains, running water, bird song etc., hatis noit creates a sound-scape drawn from her own memories. 作品について本作は、「kagami / Real-Time Face Generator」のスピンオフ作品として制作。自然界の色をテーマにしたリアルタイムフェイストラッキングのプロジェクションマッピング「Connected Colors」の続編作品にあたる。「kagami」同様、「花鳥風月」をテーマとした本作。花、鳥、風、月を表す「花鳥風月」は、日本の自然の美しさを象徴する言葉であり、同時に自然の有する多様性や調和を示唆している。かつて人々はその一員として、凛とした美しさ、霊的な生命の流れの中に身を置き、寄り添うように生きてきた。そこに日本が誇るべき美しい価値観、アイデンティティーが存在すると考え、そのあり方をエレクトリック・メイクアップアート作品として表現した。今回、これまでのテクノロジーに加え、新たに再新鋭の4K/240Pプロジェクターを使用することにより、繊細な肌やメイクアップの質感、躍動感をどこまで表現できるかに挑戰した。「kagami」「花鳥風月」の2作品は、浅井宣通（WOW）がクリエイティブ＆テクニカル・ディレクターを務め、企画・開発・ディレクションを担当。メイクアップ・アートは、Connected Colorsでもコラボレーションした冨沢ノボル氏。美しいメイクアップ・アートをベースに、自然の生命感、躍動感をWOWがCGアニメーションで表現した。また、音楽は自然界のノイズだけで音を表現するハチスノイト（Hatis-noit）が担当。草原の風の音、水の音、鳥のさえずり等、ハチスノイトの生まれ故郷である北海道の大自然のノイズを、自らの記憶の中から紡ぎ出した。 Staff 【Project Member】 Media Artist : Nobumichi Asai [WOW] CG Artist : Shingo Abe [WOW] Make-Up Artist : Noboru Tomizawa [CUBE Management Office] - - - - - Creative Director : Nobumichi Asai [WOW] Producer : Shinichi Saeki [WOW] Project Manager : Ayaka Motoyoshi [WOW] Director : Shingo Abe [WOW] CG Designer : Tsutomu Miyajima [WOW], Ryo Kitabatake [WOW] Technical Director : Nobumichi Asai [WOW] , Atsushi Yoshimura [WOW] Director of Photography, Colorist : Takatoshi Suzuki Gaffer：Seiichi Iwamaru Movie Retoucher : Masanori Obe [foton inc.] Projector Engineer : Tetsuya Fujii [Cinefocus], Masaki Morita [Cinefocus], Masaya Kamino [Cinefocus] Stylist : DAN Music & Vocalist : hatis noit Model : Nanami [FLOS inc.] 【Special Thanks】 PLEATS PLEASE ISSEY MIYAKE foton inc.

Digital Art of Petra Cortright

March 14, 2017 by Arseny Vesnin in Digital Art, Art, Portfolios, 2017, USA

Already named as the Monet of XXI Century by Artsy's Charlotte Jansen "beyond botanicals, her current practice is increasingly aligned with Impressionist ideas, but for the 21st-century set" digital art of Petra Cortright is something to focus on now.

"Her most recent works, now on view in concurrent exhibitions at San Francisco’s Ever Gold [Projects] and Berlin’s Société, are evidence of this: digital paintings filled with flowers and water lilies that are instinctively reminiscent of Monet. Both shows illuminate Cortright’s multi-pronged process. She begins by sourcing imagery online, employing a sort of digital impasto technique to make what she calls “a mother file,” which she then manipulates and prints onto various substrates—such as aluminium panels, sheets of linen, rag paper—which are layered to create the final painting, varying in opacity and translucency." says Artsy
