Media.Work for SPACE10
Media Work studio run by Maxim Zhestkov has been commissioned by SPACE10 Lab to develop a set of scenes about the global climate stressors that captured the essence of each phenomena.
SPACE10 is a research and design lab, on a mission to create a better everyday life for people and the planet.
Exploring societal, technological, and environmental shifts likely to influence people’s lives in the coming years, they wanted to visualize the different ways that climate crisis is manifesting itself, through climate stressors.
“To support their different projects and articles relating to the crisis, these visuals will then be used to highlight in a beautiful way, nature we all love and remember.
Our task was to create visualizations of three phenomena: wildfires, floods, and droughts. The focus was on how these processes unfold over time and, eventually, become massive forces that alter entire ecosystems.” - says Media Work
“Visually, we looked for the balance between aesthetically pleasing and alarming — we had to show the phenomena as something important that is happening here and now, although, not to create frightening catastrophic images that would leave the viewer hopeless.” - continues Media Work

Heterochromia iridum by Rus Khasanov
An entrancing short film by designer and artist Rus Khasanov (previously) fuses multiple optical tricks into a single work.
“The hypnotic footage utilizes pareidolia—the inclination to see an object where it physically doesn’t exist—while referencing heterochromia iridum, a fairly common condition in which a person’s irises are multi-colored, sometimes in the forms of spikes radiating around the pupil or swirls that split the tissue with different hues. Khasanov’s rendition mimics that phenomenon through saturated droplets and innumerable veins that plume outward.” via Colossal

MCR_XPRMNT+SND by Azamat Akhmadbaev
Digital Decade resident, artist Azamat Akhmadbaev dropped a personal release on Sedition Art Platform, London.
MCR_XPRMNT+SND
This series of video artworks is a metaphysical trip to another reality between our vision and perception. In accordance with the postulates of postmodernism and legacy of Derrida, the artist plays with the language of color, providing the opportunity to rethink our links with the current world through kitsch and low fidelity. Macro video recording and experimental sounds in videos are 'entry points' to the new stage of postmodernism where a viewer can melt a metaphysical body and disappear to leave marks in the internal world.
The collection name is derived from the words "macro", "experiment" and "sound".
WARNING: These videos have been identified to potentially trigger seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy. Viewer discretion is advised.

Darya Shnykina illustrations
Darya Shnykina is an illustrator from Moscow blurring a thin line between contemporary figurative painting and illustration. "With restrained and soothed color palette she’s capturing calm, introspective moments in her artwork. Using a sketchy, wavering line, she’s able to humanize and personify emotions. Although created using digital techniques, Darya’s artwork retains the charm of traditional material and textures."
Designing the Future by Media.Work
Media.Works Studio led by Maxim Zhestkov share their view on Designing the Future by delivering 3 conceptual forecasts for the near future
“For one of our weekly explorations, we divided in three teams that received the task to create a prototype of a physical object. It did not necessarily have to be in the realm of speculative design, yet some of the created items deal with experimental technologies, not seen in mass-produced products.”
“The first object has the potential of being mass-produced — it is a lamp, in which light passes through layers of colorful materials that can be easily switched to anything else. This is an item which is supposed to be customized and which can change mood in the interior completely by simply changing the ‘lampshade’ — it can create shaped shadows with texts or images and mix different textures, being a playground for its user.”
“The second item that was born in our ‘lab’ is an air purifier and a flower pot at the same time. It creates perfect conditions for a plant that grows inside of it, in a glass shell, and uses this plant to clean the air.”
“Our third item is the most future-oriented. It is a visual experiment about shoe soles that grow to adjust their shape for human feet. We created a series of abstract forms, which are examples of how this custom sole can morph to better support a foot and redistribute the pressure.”

Masks by Anastasia Pilepchuk
Moscow-based artist and fashion designer Anastasia Pilepchuk recently got an invite from Instagram for Business to create a series of masks inspired by the topic of “harmony breaks silence”. In collaboration with another artist Moritz Simon Geist they created an interactive versions of them
“In my work I am interested in the notions of sublime and elusion, entering into a meditative process akin to a dream-like state. The real and the fantasy weave together, hiding behind the masks, threads and layers. Expression is channeled through those shapes, finding its intention and force both in the normality and in the surreal.
The method I use in my work is based on constructing an image or an object starting from the small building blocks, which, when gradually put together, let the pattern of the whole emerge. I like to reconsider materials and shapes, finding new ways to inscribe them into the real through the imagination and moments of improvisation that occur in repetitive work.”
