SCRIPTURA VITAE by Aerosyn-Lex Mestrovic

in , , ,

If you bought our latest DCMAG magazine you might recognise the maestro of black typography and graphic force London-based and Argentina-rased Aerosyn-Lex Mestrovic. We also featured his latest motion video "SCRIPTURA VITAE" on our interactive magazine pages.

"Mestrovic's latest venture is an ambitious three-part journey into the unknown that showcases Lex's haunting ritualistic calligraphy, alongside stunningly choreographed Japanese Butoh performances set to a score which features original music by the Grammy Nominated DIPLO. The film stars famed Japanese actress Miho Nikaido, best known for her role in the cult-classic and previously banned film Tokyo Decadence which was written and directed by lauded novelist Ryu Murakami. The effects in the film are visually striking, combining modern compositing with in-camera painting to devise something wholly unique." says Souris

Calligraphy by Evgeny Tkhorzhevsky

in , , ,

While watching Evgeny's latest calligraphy video my brain was pulsating with "It is impossible" warning messages. Lettering is still the most impressive handcrafted state of art we are able to enjoy in 21 century. Ink pens and precious hand's movements will leave your mouth agape till the last dot in Evgeny Tkhorzhevsky portfolio.

Experimental Art of Chad Wys

in , , ,

”My artwork is also, at its core, an experimentation in composition, color, and form,” says Wys. “Through a variety of mixed media I have chosen as my inspiration a color palette that is at times complimentary and at other times purposfully contradictory, or seemingly destructive. The literal destruction of an object is secondary, in my mind, to the overall effect created by color (dis)harmony and the overall aesthetic-emotional experience of the reclaimed and reinvented object. I openly play with the allure of foreign and aggressive new colors and forms, inviting them into otherwise familiar and traditional settings. Barriers and obstacles are thereby erected between the viewer and the object through which one must negotiate an understanding of what is both present and hidden. What does the creation of new meaning tell us about old meanings, or meaning in general?” http://www.chadwys.com/

Vinyl Skulls by Ted Riederer

in , , ,

An avid lover of music and art, Ted Riederer created these skull forms by placing vinyl records atop a plaster skull mold and melting them down. The record label molds perfectly around the curvature of the frontal bone giving each skull a unique identity. The series, titled Primal Sound, "…aims to explore the symbols of music, and music communities, for their redemptive power. When I was 16, my life fell apart, I joined a band and was saved. The vinyl skulls are based on a nonfiction essay by the German poet Rainer Maria Rilke entitled ‘Primal Sound.’ In this essay he ponders what sound the coronal suture would make as it closely resembles a sound wave. He proposes that this process of combining what seems like disparate elements initially to create something that the world has never heard, is a model for making good art." –Ted Riederer

Phonebloks

in , ,

A phone only lasts a couple of years before it breaks or becomes obsolete. Although it's often just one part which killed it we throw everything away since it's almost impossible to repair or upgrade. But Dutch designer Dave Hakkens has another view on this problem. He just rethinks the way a phone may be constructed taking in account bricks based system Phonebloks. With functional modules you can construct a phone that can fit your needs of the moment, or the needs of particular audience or whatever you want.
