Mineral by Davy Evans
“Mineral” is a new photographic exploration of environmental issues, researched by digital artist Davy Evans. Plastic pollution is a huge threat the climate, and finds its way into every corner of our environment. The iridescent colour pallet has been created in-camera to represent the high oil content used in today's plastic production, which in turn drives the demand for oil.
Thomas Vanz for Max Cooper: Let There Be
Motion artist Thomas Vanz just release his latest collaboration with Max Cooper for his new track “Let There Be”
““For “Let there Be”, Max asked me to think about the two key words “infinite” and “birth of humanity”. Everything came naturally to this process I was working on, involving two types of liquids blending in forever, progressively. I choose to represent the light of Kabbalah that Max once told me about, blending a very luminous and pearly white with a very dark black. Once I had a satisfying shot, I added with Max a variety of neolithic paintings and illustrations spreading out from the center where the lights were coming from.”
“I wanted to start the project with the earliest visual example of the infinite I could find reference to - the bright white light of Kabbalah. The magician of liquid systems, Thomas Vanz told me he had a new secret recipe which could deliver what I needed, so I set about scoring to this idea based around what I know of Thomas’ work. The whole project functioned in this way, starting with my written descriptions of each chapter, then finding a visual artist to carry out that side of things, while in parallel I scored the music to the imagined final result. At some point down the line the first visual and musical sketches arrived and things could be refined at each end to marry the music and visual together seamlessly.
The music for this chapter needed something with a feeling of grandeur and space, mysteriousness and mysticism. It all came down to some really sparse drawn out chords and plenty of different layers of saturation with pedals (plenty of Metasonix F1, Moogerfooger overdrive, Industrialelctric RM1N, Fairfield Circuitry Meet Maude, WMD Geiger Counter), with smatterings of more distorted hits running through a heavy (Big Sky) plate reverb to punctuate the scale even more.
Visually, we complemented Thomas’ growing light animation with ancient cave painting imagery in order to tie the visual abstraction to the human story, and the birth of our yearning for the infinite.
For the live show I use two layers of screens to first show the structure hovering in front of stage, then to slowly reveal the rear backlit screen and my position between them, as a means of slowly adding a 3-dimensional depth effect as the music and visual peaks.”

Digital Antique by Kontorn Boonyanate
Once we call a “Digital Art”, an art itself, it automatically drops “time” as a measure of its actual value. After it is created and approved by art mediums, it gains appreciation and reactivates the new meanings during the life. Here is 5 years old project from Bangkok, Thailand, CG artist Kontorn Boonyanate that reflects on antique beauty canons using modern digital interpretations.

Marmalade Type by Ruslan Khasanov
“This is a bright and colourful typography captured with camera. These images are looks like computer graphics, some kind of experiment with gradients. But the whole point is that this is a photo, there is not a drop of any paint here only the phenomenon of interference. I formed letters with gel on the surface of the CD and illuminated it with a lamp.”
Hidden
Hidden is a triptych video installation created by DBLG that merges the world of fashion, music and visual art. Inspired by the debut couture collection of fashion designer Vincent Lapp, who won Nick Knight’s SHOWStudio Fashion Film Award, explores the connection between form and elemental forces, taking the viewer on an arresting visual journey.
To mark the start of London Fashion week 2019 the film has been designed to be shown simultaneously across three huge portrait screens immersing the audience in coloured light and surround sound.
Music for the film is composed by experimental choral trio Blood Moon Project. Approaching the film in chapters they interpreted each of the garments graphic language as instrumentation blending synths, salvaged church organs and percussion.

Disctortion by Ruslan Khassanov
“I was inspired to create this project by an old, scratched CD with 90s music, which just lay on the street and shimmered with all the colors of the rainbow under the sun. On a deformed surface, textures formed that bizarrely changed colors.
“For this project I took various types of CD and DVD disks and destroyed them: I burned disks, froze, tore up, dipped into various chemicals, bent them. It was amazing to see how all disks react differently to the same actions and form different textures.“

Dreamlands by Yomagick
Barcelona-based digital artist Maciek Martyniuk’s (aka Yomagick) ‘Dreamlands‘ series came from his latest trip to Japan where he discovered the Itsukushima Shrine. His first project entirely made in 3D without any post-production
Wave Atlas by Marpi
Talented interactive artist MARPI (that worked with us on @Digital.Decade installation) shares his latest collaborative installation Wave Atlas.
Wave Atlas is a water world teeming with artificial digital life, which users simultaneously create and discover. The more users who interact, the richer and more complex this ecology grows.
Using pinch-and-drag hand gestures tracked via Leap Motion sensors or triggers via an HTC Vive controller, users create segmented swimmers that they can set free in a virtual ocean expanse. Once released, the creatures play, evolve, and interact, glittering sculptures in a digital current.
The creatures of Wave Atlas are inspired by nudibranchs and leafy seadragons, marine animals with arresting color patterns and an astonishing array of forms.
Wave Atlas is on exhibit at The Tech Interactive’s Reboot Reality experience lab in San Jose, California, presented with support from the Knight Foundation.
Digital Cubism by NastPlas
“MANIÈRE is the latest project by NastPlas – a Madrid-based creative duo working with digital art & illustration. With these series, they were inspired by cubism. The aesthetic was translated into the series of geometric 3D sculptures featuring abstract shapes and bright colours. Within each artwork, the viewer can discern human portraits or profiles – an element of realism set against the whimsical background of figurative sculptures.” via @trendland
Patterns and Structures by Nicolas Berger
The creative process of Nicolas mainly focus on the patterns and structures found in nature, observing and synthetizing their behavior, adapting their complex set of rules into a digital process, working with the idea of being only half controlling the shapes that he's generating and making abstract mathematical concepts taking shape, substance, and becoming new life forms.
Digital Spaces by Carlos Neda
“Carlos Neda is a digital artist based in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. His CGI pink-tinted, surreal visualizations of imaginary spaces combine the retro charm of plush carpets and modernist rounded shapes with contemporary influences.
Solitary yet utopian – these dreamy landscapes focus on the ambience. The soft light, set design, the combination of colors. Neda creates abstract, far-off realities filtrated through the perspective of modern design.” via @trendland
OLIGARCHS
“A fever dream of sweat, gold and Synthwave music.
Oligarchs is a retro-futuristic emotive concept based on photogrammetry and 3D kitbashing.
A love letter to the bulky low-tech aesthetics of the 80s.
A synergy of naked bodies wrapped in beautiful metals.
When fashion film meets Cyberpunk meets modern art.
The year 1988, Neo Berlin Art Precinct.
An aged mobster is cheated by his trophy wife.
A government executive vanishes.
A secret has been stolen.
A girl is on the run.
A data bird holds a valuable recording.
A self proclaimed prophet’s plan unfolds.
But on this day, the whole system is turned upside down as the powers shift.”
