Words Can Be Weapons

October 26, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Advertising, Agencies, China, Motioncollector, 2015

Russian proverb says "Word is not a sparrow. Once it flies out, you can't catch it", it can hit, can humiliate and even kill. Shockingly tragic acts of youth violence are on the rise in our neighbouring China. An even lesser known finding is that in China, childhood verbal abuse has a strong link to adolescent delinquency (personally it happens everywhere in the world).

The Center for Psychological Research, Shenyang and Ogilvy & Mather, Beijing have joined hands to launch a creative campaign "Words Can Be Weapons" that raises Chinese public awareness of the serious and detrimental effects of verbal abuse.

Histibe - FOT3D

October 22, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Motioncollector, Netherlands, Portfolios, Ukraine, 2015

Contemporary electronic music producer Histibe is celebrating 2 years since release of his album "Take the Form (Rare Edition)" premiering new music video for track "FOT3D" that includes animation by experimental Dutch visual artist Siegfried Bekkers and logo design by respectable American graphic designer Joe Perez.

Forms Of The 3rd Dimension (stylized as "FOT3D") is a 3D animation video with "stream of consciousness" ideas, which takes a part of your mind into another dimension. The raw greenish style of textures fits perfectly to the "stream of consciousness” concept of the video. It’s not a real world. It’s a deep inner-world that reflects and generates images of the "other side” with various associations, experience and ideas that are incomplete and in the process of its creation. Its greenish color reflects the world of plants. Ideas are like plants: once an idea germinates in your mind, you can’t stop it. It has a will of its own. An idea only needs you to come to life, and once it has been born, it grows with its own logic. It doesn’t need you to exist anymore. You can’t stop ideas. Like music, ideas are free spirits, floating freely around us.

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.

Epic Roof Calligraphy made by Pokras Lampas

September 26, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Motioncollector, Portfolios, Russia, Street Art, TOP 2015, Typography, 2015

I just presented the best Russian talents on Argentinian festival Trimarchi today. The last project I talked about was the biggest calligraphy work we've ever seen made by Russian talent Pokras Lampas: Calligroof

The artist and his team spent nearly a ton of paint to create this work, its height equals to twenty-two storey building. Work's text dedicated to the moments of inspiration and creativity

"This project breaks records on the complexity and scale in Russia. It was a real challenge for me and my team. We designed a brush with an ink surface of 1 meter using four big brooms specifically for this event. We could fail this project many times due to the rains and problems with the delivery of hundreds of liters of paint from another city." says Pokras

"Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang, known for his use of gun powder to create art, recently used a whole lot of it pay tribute to his grandmother’s 100th birthday with a stunning art piece, “Sky Ladder”. The pyrotechnic art piece lit up the sky above Quanzhou, south-eastern China on Monday, utilizing fireworks and a giant balloon to create the effect of a fiery ladder building itself 1,650 ft up into the sky." via Booooooom
