Visual paradoxes, perfect symmetry, and optical illusion play an important role for the photo artist. Davoli says, "My inspiration comes from a combination of the supernatural images from the Italian artist De Chirico, my love for geometry of Bauhaus, and the pop culture of Warhol and Lichtenstein...

Digitizes Fabrics GEIST.XYZ by Zeitguised

January 10, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Digital Art, Fashion, Germany, Motioncollector, Portfolios, TOP 2016, 2016

Citing The Creators Project: Created by design and animation studio Zeitguised, it features algorithmic design in the style of fashion textiles. "We have a background in sculpture and fashion design, and wanted to make this design project for years. We felt that algorithmic design is underrepresented in fashion still, due to approaches that are either too nerdy or executions that don't work,” says Henrik Mauler of Zeitguised. "We wanted to change that, and bring more design thinking to making patterns with algorithms.” In combining digital art with fashion and textiles, geist.xyz exists in the realm of the hyperrealistic-unreal, and imagines a future in which the very clothes on our backs could be a digital canvas. "We also want to see these patterns being worn, and wear them ourselves—even if self-transforming textiles don't exist yet to the extent that we show,” says Mauler. "We just simply didn't want to wait for it."

"According to Mathew, the process is fairly straightforward. After she finds an object she wants to match, she goes through her Pantone chips book (an indispensable tool for graphic designers and color enthusiasts) to find the right swatch. Using natural daylight, she places the object on top of the swatch to make sure the hues match, and then snaps a photo with her phone. She finds matches 95 percent of the time, making for a total of about 145 vibrant compositions since she started the project over a year ago." via
