Lars Fisk
Since 1995, Lars-Erik Fisk has reimagined familiar and common-place objects into spheres, which he considers a "basic form… that we can all understand, but is at the same time the least likely form for these subjects to assume.”
Transforming objects in this way engenders a fascination with the mundane and elevates otherwise unnoticed details of one’s everyday surroundings to works of art that demand attention.
Made primarily by hand in the artist’s Brooklyn studio, each circle is designed to engage ordinary elements from parking lots, subway tiles, car parts and pencil stubs. The eclectic material palette uses the components of these architectural and urban facets – namely steel, glass and asphalt – and turn them into perfect spheres; transforming the simple theory into a potent array of sculptures.

The Petersburger by Katie Gorbacheva
Being Petersburgers ourselves Katie’s illustration project “The Petersburger” made us jump in the air from excitement. Hope these covers (perfectly matching with a context) will find a real publisher to deliver a magazine for the “cultural capital” that constantly missing its cultural media.
Wooden Distortion by Paul Kaptein
Working predominantly in sculpture and drawing, Paul Kaptein’s practice is informed by notions of Pneuma and Sunyata in exploring the fluid space between form and emptiness. Motivated by the energies that exist beneath the surface of things, his work is activated through glitches, warps, spaces, gaps, holes and fissures.
Exploring the body as the interface between quantum, relative, technological, spiritual, material, psychic and conscious states, my work collapses distinctions of internal and external binaries and linear temporalities to explore notions of identity and boundaries of self.
Metamorphosis by Cityabyss
Graphic designer from Poland, Beata Szczecinska aka Cityabyss (you may know from our @Digital.Decade platform) releasing her ongoing project Metamorphosis
“Perception of the metamorphosis process of two systems, where one of them is dispersed in the other. Permeation, degrees of dispersion, fragmentation, liquidity - constansy, foginess and boundaries.”
“Metamorphosis of the system culture vs. nature is a phenomenon that has no permanent shape, evolving, with no expressive outlines, connected with changing roles, dominating one over the other, also the influence of foreign factors. The assumption that the transition must be organic is perceived as erroneous in the congitive functioning of the brain.”

The Standard London Hotel
The Standard's first UK hotel opens this summer inside a brutalist building, featuring colourful interiors designed by Shawn Hausman to contrast "the greyness of London".
Occupying the former Camden Town Hall Annexe in King's Cross, The Standard is designed by Shawn Hausman Design with brightly-hued guest rooms and communal spaces that have an "element of lightheartedness".
The studio worked alongside London-based Archer Humphryes Architects, who carried out internal structural changes as part of architecture practice Orms' wider refurbishment of the building.
Opening its doors to the public this July, the hotel will have 266 rooms, a bar, recording studio, and three restaurants – one of which is on the building's roof and overlooks the surrounding cityscape.

Stefania Tejada
Stefania Tejada explores and studies the female spirit, an immersion within the concept of identity and her personal evolution as a human. She is in constant search of capturing her subjects when they feel most vulnerable and most powerful.
“n my work I explore the relationship between woman, photography and self-expression. I find the connection between the camera and the eyes of a woman a magical moment, a truthful moment. The way a woman can connect and express so much with just being, with simple movement, through eye-contact, with just being herself in a natural environment and through fashion. The way she owns her identity and her cultural background.”
Apparatuses for (Extra)Ordinary Acts
Apparatuses for (Extra)Ordinary Acts (artist Charitini Gkritzali) is a sequence of depictions of the complex relationship between humans, objects and surrounding spaces. They attempt to illustrate this relationship’s present form, designate the way it is currently experienced, analyse it, and reflect over it in a descriptive or connotative manner. In this context, several factors and concepts deeply familiar to humans appear anaemic, unsound or expired: time, senses, individuality, conscience. The succession of apparatuses is cyclic. It exceeds progression and graduality, evoking doubt over its representational robustness. Ultimately, Apparatuses for (Extra)Ordinary Acts lead to the reformulation not only of human’s relationship with objects and surroundings, but with the very notion of realness and representation’s utopic nature.

Wave Atlas by Marpi
Talented interactive artist MARPI (that worked with us on @Digital.Decade installation) shares his latest collaborative installation Wave Atlas.
Wave Atlas is a water world teeming with artificial digital life, which users simultaneously create and discover. The more users who interact, the richer and more complex this ecology grows.
Using pinch-and-drag hand gestures tracked via Leap Motion sensors or triggers via an HTC Vive controller, users create segmented swimmers that they can set free in a virtual ocean expanse. Once released, the creatures play, evolve, and interact, glittering sculptures in a digital current.
The creatures of Wave Atlas are inspired by nudibranchs and leafy seadragons, marine animals with arresting color patterns and an astonishing array of forms.
Wave Atlas is on exhibit at The Tech Interactive’s Reboot Reality experience lab in San Jose, California, presented with support from the Knight Foundation.
Illustrative Art of Samuel Rodriguez
The San Jose based artist Samuel Rodriguez benefits from the mix of street art background and classic art education and has done some amazing illustrative art so far. He is mostly focusing in two types of portraiture which he refers to as, ‘Topographical Portraiture’ and ‘Type Faces’. The Topographical Portraits Rodriguez creates, are made by stylizing a portrait with topographical lines and shapes, in a similar manner to those found through images on geographic maps.
Digital Cubism by NastPlas
“MANIÈRE is the latest project by NastPlas – a Madrid-based creative duo working with digital art & illustration. With these series, they were inspired by cubism. The aesthetic was translated into the series of geometric 3D sculptures featuring abstract shapes and bright colours. Within each artwork, the viewer can discern human portraits or profiles – an element of realism set against the whimsical background of figurative sculptures.” via @trendland
The Immigrant by Michael Murphy
The Immigrant - is a 3D halftone sculpture by Brooklyn-based artist Michael Murphy. When you view the 2,300 wood balls from forty feet away you see an image of Murphy’s partner Natasha Vladimirova. The work calls attention to the positive contributions immigrants make to our communities. Natasha is an immigrant and it is with her help that this piece was made possible. This tribute is intended to introduce positivity to a negative and overly politicized conversation.
