Rodrigo Chapa
Rodrigo Chapa is a Mexican artist who has been working with photography for the past decade. “In his series “Ausentes” (Absents), he makes reference to abstract expressionism by composing images with color field backgrounds and a dancer as the subject. He captures the movement and improvisation of the dancers, in which the record of the physical manifestation of the subject becomes the work of art.” via @trendland
Disctortion by Ruslan Khassanov
“I was inspired to create this project by an old, scratched CD with 90s music, which just lay on the street and shimmered with all the colors of the rainbow under the sun. On a deformed surface, textures formed that bizarrely changed colors.
“For this project I took various types of CD and DVD disks and destroyed them: I burned disks, froze, tore up, dipped into various chemicals, bent them. It was amazing to see how all disks react differently to the same actions and form different textures.“

David Umemoto
Canadian artist David Umemoto creates Escher-esque concrete miniature pieces that evoke temporary buildings or monuments standing on far-away lands.
“The images conveyed in the mind by these works are numerous. They refer to the archaic and the ephemeral, despite the solidity and the modernity of the medium. Appearing before our eyes are pre-Columbian rock dwellings, god statues from the Andes or Easter Island, steles deteriorated by rain, remnants of modern cities having survived a cataclysm, fragments of Babylonian cities, colonial settlements brought down to their foundations, cenotaphs abandoned in the jungle…”

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.
