βGavin Shapiroβs ultimate goal is to produce work that makes you smile, and these days he aims to do that by making vibrant, surrealist 3D animation that doesnβt take itself too seriously but still retains a high level of quality. He's lived and worked in New York, Osaka and Paris, working on a large variety of projects including tv shows, commercials, outdoor displays, large-format stage visuals, and animations for casino games.β
His personal work, released under the name βshapiro500β, has been used as visuals at music festivals and shows all over the world, and has been shown on digital billboards as part of art exhibitions in New York City and Tokyo. His animations have accumulated hundreds of millions of views across Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Giphy.

βThe worlds Alexey Shahov creates look like video games that are still in the process of being designed, as grey, uneven body parts with stickman-like features are partially covered by sprawling flashes of spray paint and pencil marks.β

"French Exit" is a CG Art installation made using dried grass and hung on the ceiling. Created by Tadao Cern as a practice in finding new visual code of a life meaning
βFrench exit is a term that describes the act of leaving a social gathering or bad date without saying goodbye.
ββIt is the same as ghosting, Irish goodbye, and Dutch leave.
The French exit is often performed by people who donβt want to take the time to say goodbye to others.β
Media.Works Studio led by Maxim Zhestkov share their view on Designing the Future by delivering 3 conceptual forecasts for the near future
βFor one of our weekly explorations, we divided in three teams that received the task to create a prototype of a physical object. It did not necessarily have to be in the realm of speculative design, yet some of the created items deal with experimental technologies, not seen in mass-produced products.β
βThe first object has the potential of being mass-produced β it is a lamp, in which light passes through layers of colorful materials that can be easily switched to anything else. This is an item which is supposed to be customized and which can change mood in the interior completely by simply changing the βlampshadeβ β it can create shaped shadows with texts or images and mix different textures, being a playground for its user.β
βThe second item that was born in our βlabβ is an air purifier and a flower pot at the same time. It creates perfect conditions for a plant that grows inside of it, in a glass shell, and uses this plant to clean the air.β
βOur third item is the most future-oriented. It is a visual experiment about shoe soles that grow to adjust their shape for human feet. We created a series of abstract forms, which are examples of how this custom sole can morph to better support a foot and redistribute the pressure.β
Another great example of how digital art can be applied to commercial industry is a video for Diamond Sneakers created by @Media.Work studio led by ultra-talented Maxim @Zhestkov
Even the work has been done in 2019 it is worth seeing and inspiring
Interactive installation SOLE produced by artistic duo Quite Ensemble (Fabio di Salvo and Bernardo Vercelli)
The space floats in a suspended time, inhabited by the sun's rays and the moving shadows that dominate the surrounding architectures. The audience crosses a timeless place, where time is different, where sunrise and sunset meet, the suns are multiple and the twilight drowns in a stroboscopic dawn. A 360 degree video-mapping that, thanks to the use of 49 video projectors, simulates the movement of the sun around and inside the hall of the Salone degli Incanti in Trieste.
Continuum Remix v.2 is the second in a series of works by Krista Kim in collaboration with Efren Mur (@efrenmur) and LigovskoΓ― (@ligvsk) to be released on Sedition Art platform.

βMeditation will save us from the machine; art will save us from ourselves. I believe in the healing and transformational power of visual art + sound + meditation on an individual and a social level.
Our future is unknown and unstable. There are difficult times ahead due to social and economic unrest due to pandemic risk, digital disruption, automation and climate change. Collective fear is undeniable, but we cannot allow ourselves to be dominated by fear β we must face the unknown with open hearts and mindfulness. In chaos, there is creative opportunity. We must create a better future with compassion and love.
My collaboration with Efren Mur (video artist) and LigovskoΓ― (electronic music band) was created during the COVID-19 crisis. Our purpose is to present a vision of meditativeness and digital beauty to collective consciousness. The world is forever changed, and we must adapt with mindfulness, self care and connection to creative energy that will help us navigate the unknown.β

Creative duo @vfxfreek and @l_peixl share their vision under AFTERFUTURE moniker by releasing visual CG concepts on a daily basis
Digital artist Anatolik Belikov believes that the key to understanding of our fractured and disturbing reality could be found in our vision and how things surrounding us look like. Before discovering CGI, Belikov studied chemistry, cycling through dozens of jobs before finding his passion for 3D storytelling. He has since worked for clients such as Adidas, Burberry, and Kenzo, although his personal work stands apart from his sleek commercial briefs.
βIn his own art, Belikov delves into flaws and imperfections, exploring objects which are mundane, dusty, or slightly damaged and working out how they could exist in the CGI universe. The darker underlying currents of our culture are also ruthlessly exposed. In the music video for Ukrainian artist Youra, Belikov created a suffocating burning response to the war in Ukraine and our general numbness to violence.β
