Alex Chinneck: Take my lightning but don’t steal my thunder
Master of illusions Alex Chinneck’s latest mind-boggling public art installation is on show in what must surely be the spiritual home of his craft; one of the busiest piazzas in London and its theatrical hub. His floating building follows on from a sliding house, upside down house and many other puzzling optical illusions. Called Take my lightning but don’t steal my thunder, Alex says: “The titles are born from a kind of daydreaming. Everything we do now is extremely planned and co-ordinated. And I don’t feel like an artist anymore. A title is a rare opportunity to do something which feels slightly bohemian!”
As for the thinking behind Take my lightning but don’t steal my thunder, Alex muses that “there are things which always come together but are always slightly apart.” In terms of the building itself, “the shape of the crack was reminiscent of the lightning bolt. It’s a very cataclysmic scene.”

Glitched Dioramas by Mathieu Schmitt
“Glitched” is a series of 3D printed dioramas in smoked glass cubes by artist Mathieu Schmitt. The artist allows for the 3D model data to become corrupt in such a way that objects are printed slightly deformed. The late-night settings and the misshapen objects create quite an eerie atmosphere.

Miniatures by Satoshi Araki
Satoshi Araki's obsessive attention to detail makes his work simply stunning. If it wasn't for the reference of the finger that appears in some of the pictures, it would be very hard to distinguish these miniature dioramas from real pictures of garbage dumps, bombed cities, or abandoned neighbourhoods.

Inside Me by Dmitry Zakharov
Cologne-based visual artist Dmitry Zakharov released a pretty awesome animation "Inside Me".
"This project is based on a 3D-scan technique, which allows me to reproduce an image of my own body as a 3D object in a software. It is possible to view this object not just from outside, but also from the inside as a negative as well, which creates abstract shapes.
The coloration was generated with the help of colour data I took from a real picture. The film reflects the invisible inner world of an individual, which owns a small universe in itself, created by experiences and feelings - as well in the digital world as in real life. We try to express ourselves and approach our world another being, but still, nobody can see in our souls entirely.
For me, the process of scanning is a very important part of this work itself. The idea of digitising a body and hence the creation and deformation of its computer generated self, reflects the digital world we live in today. We create an alternative world, in which everybody can be what they want to be. In some way, it resembles to an act of creation. We never stop building more worlds for ourselves, even though there are already various ones encircling us, that we don't even understand yet.
Each universe encloses another, which creates a new one, and the world next to us still seems far away. And so we look into infinity again, which inevitably surrounds us."

Dressing The Screen identity
Bilingual Identity for a new international British Council exhibition Dressing the Screen: The Rise of Fashion Film. The work has been created by a Moscow-based trio of young designers Roma Lazarev, Kir Khachaturov and Vladislav Poliakov and recently won the Yellow Pencil at D&AD 2014 New Blood The basis of our concept is a well-known optical effect animating static images discovered in the early XIX century by a prominent English scientist Peter Mark Roger. Today it is mostly known as “motograph” or “scanimation”. This breakthrough played a significant role in the history of filmmaking. Inspired by the “motograph” effect and experimental photoworks by a great fashion photographer Erwin Blumenfeld, we created a special font and developed a system reflecting the high-fashion and moving image nature of the exhibition and reminding of the pioneering role that Great Britain played in the development of fashion film.
