3rd Wave of Inspiration
Since 2003
Discovering new artist is always a sport but doing it together with our new partners Creative Debuts makes it a pleasant competition. Here is Carl Beazley whose art struggles through "figurative", "surreal" labels one can attach to his personal experiments born in an attempt to find something completely original and unique.

“We don’t want our digital lives to fade away. If we want to preserve them, we need to make sure that the digital objects we create today can still be rendered far into the future”
Interactive installation for National Ethnographic Museum in Warsaw created by panGenerator as a part of TEEN AGE exhibition. Installation tuches on the themes of selfie-culture, and the fear of permanently losing the digital records of our lives due to technical failures, impermanence of data storage, or simply because of the obsolescence of the old digital file formats. Even with such compulsive overproduction of the images of ourselves we might end up with nothing but the blank memories of our past. Even the data on ourselves will eventually fade away…
The installation consist of the display that prompts you to take a selfie on your phone, which it renders in digital particles on its large 1x1 meter screen. Then a moment later, your face scatters and falls apart and the real black gravel starts to fall at the bottom of the screen in perfect synchrony with the digital simulation. Gradually a dark mound builds up at the foot of the construction
Talented artist we follow for ages Matt W. Moore shared his latest project done later last year at Art Basel Miami 2017. It is a 1st Chapter of a special collaboration with Remi Martin that lead to basketball court design during the art fair at 'The W' South Beach Miami.

John Adams
This portrait series reflects the fun house nature of the American political process. The circus-like spectacle distorts details of the individuals seeking the prime office. Our relation to them is mainly from the many facets of historical representation and media coverage. Their exalted placement conjures a synthetic character, which becomes warped as it is consumed by the world. This feeds the base of American mythology and the drive of current campaigns.
The fight for control plays out on the public stage, triggering a national identity crisis. Attacks and propaganda distort reality, twisting these most famous of faces. Strings pulled for posturing position, propping up the most promised person at the helm. A side step song and dance, juggling talking points and agenda. A pageant of manufactured personality. Placing in the public eye a poster picture of power and promise.
Edifice is an experimental short film inspired by personal beliefs of who we are, where we come from, and where we are heading; it’s a journey from stardust to singularity. This purely cinematic film is intended to stimulate your mind and senses, while provoking further thought about our passage and presence in this world. To optimize your experience of the film, Edifice is best viewed on a full screen, with no surrounding artificial light intrusion, and very ample sound.

Young British electronic artist Alice Conisbee already established her own style with the flashbacks to early-Anime graphics. Worth to mention Alice is a winner of Ello x Designcollector digital art competition and exhibited in London at our own Digital Decade 5: Cyberia last year
Multidisciplinary artist Filip Custic was commissioned by Camper to provide the visuals for their "Twins" (shoes model) 30th anniversary edit. By playing with concepts like gravity and space it showcased a series of surreal images that brilliantly capture the dreamlike mood behind their collection
FILIP CUSTIC is a Spanish-Croatian multidisciplinary artist who uses objects as his means of communication. He’s creating his own “vocabulary of objects” through a movement he is developing that he has decided to call “objetismo”. In order to express himself he uses a camera to take photos and videos, but he also plays around with audios. Filip creates installations with models, clothing and different kinds of objects that inspire him, using them as sculptures to communicate an idea, concept or message. He likes to play with concepts such as no-gravity, fragmentation, patafísica, balance optic effect and technic art.

Design studio now better known for their kinetic typography experiments recently did a motion identity for Nike Statement House in NYC
"Ada Sokol sums up her work with two words: “innovation, sleekness”. A chance encounter with the Paris-based, Polish-born artist and 3D designer’s work quickly had us hooked and digging deep into her portfolio rich with commissioned and personal projects. With a flair for 3D rendering which is so photorealistic, it left us wondering where the constructed ended and the real began, Ada is a future talent destined for great things." from It's Nice That interview

Prominent fashion photographer Elizaveta Porodina was commissioned by Numero magazine to shot the rising star of Kyiv electronic-pop music LUNA
"In her ongoing series titled Perspective, photographer Suzanne Saroff creates fractured and skewed images of common foods as seen through vessels filled with water and glass objects. The images play with concepts of light and shadow resulting in distorted still lifes that appear almost like digital glitches."
Acclaimed "Master of Light" talented artist Evgeny Lushpin creates jaw-dropping realistic artworks with a drop of magic twist, in that way that you not allow you to mess it up with a photography.
Born outside Moscow in 1966, and then educated in Russia's finest schools, Lushpin crafts lush masterpieces that transport viewers to the time and place of his choosing. From golden, unforeseen moments along hidden canals, to the warmth of a stately centuries-old European mansion, to some of the world's most famous cities.
One can find his works too figurative but the truth is in the eyes of beholder and who said Art has no genres like Music. Evgeny plays a main violin in hyper realism orchestra. Art is not about what you see, it is about what you feel.
CarbonScape is the latest kinetic data soundscape installation created by h0nh1m aka Chris Cheung It consists of 18 tracks of granular synthesized sound samples, collected from the sound sources where carbon footprints left; from the jet engine sound, steam noises of the factory to the horn of the ships etc…one minute long for each track, giving chances to stand in silent tribute to the mother earth. The finale is composed of all tracks blending into the soundscape.
The work is a visualisation of carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere according to the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) since 1958. In 2017, the concentration of CO2 soared to its highest of the past three million years, with industrialization and the use of fossil fuels being one of the major factors. The installation arranged in a bamboo forest like landscape, with the changing ambience drone noises, imitates chimneys frequently found in power plants and factories, with black spheres indicating CO2 levels around the globe. Immersing the viewer in an environment taken over with chimneys, CarbonScape thinks about what our position as humans can be, while the earth’s capacity for life reaches its limits.
Torino-based Studio Nucleo houses some of italy’s most prestigious artists, designers and architects. Their recent project "Law of Past Experience" curated by Atto Belloli Ardessi and Ginevra Bria, uses computer-aided boolean data to create the unique sculptures.
