Digital Classics by Paul Vera-Broadbent

It’s a mashup of classical artwork and the digital age in Paul Vera-Broadbent’s fascinating reworking of history. He’s taken the works of past masters and redone them as faceted modern day tributes that look like they could have popped out of a video game. It’s a fitting piece of work for the artist: Vera-Broadbent has worked at designing video games since age 17, now has 25 titles under his belt, and a number of BAFTA nominations. Surprisingly he uses only his iPad and the popular app Sketchbook Pro to create the images!

Strata #4 by Quayola

Strata #4 is a two channel video by the artist known simply as Quayola. For the video, Quayola used images of two grand altarpieces by Rubens and Van Dyck. He worked with an HDR photographer to obtain huge 20,000 by 20,000 pixel images of the work. Then using unbelievable computing power and algorithms Quayloa investigates each masterpiece’s underlying structure, composition, and color. Strata #4 at turn resembles 20th century abstract renditions of the baroque work. via

Cinemacity App

The idea to merge old cinema with real urban navigation is not new. Few years ago a Briton called it Augmented Reality Cinema but never completed it and today we found that French Art TV channel gone further with this idea and released CINEMACITY web and mobile application. Cinemacity geolocates film excerpts throughout Paris, exactly where they were shot. Different cinewalks are available to users, enabling them to discover the city through the lens of cinema. I am wondering when Foursquare will do something similar http://vimeo.com/66319660

Alexandra Pacula

Alexandra Pacula’s work may look like blurry photographs taken after a wild night out in the city but they are in fact hyperrealistic paintings.

Discussing her work she states:

“I recreate the feeling of dizziness and confusion by letting the paint blur and allowing shapes to dissolve. I suggest motion in order to slow down the scene and capture the fleeting moments, which tend to be forgotten. The sense of motion is intensified with the use of quick vigorous lines and sharp perspectives. By interpreting lights in graphic or painterly ways, I create a sense of space, alluding to a hallucinogenic experience. I want the viewer’s eye to travel within my composition and experience a familiar, exhilarating event of an actual nightly excursion.”

Manabu Ikeda

I am not sure your screen size can fit the monumental illustrations of Japanese artist Manabu Ikeda done by acrylic pencil on a human-sized canvases. Everything done by hands and pure creativity is a gem of our digital days. It took him almost a year to complete wall-sized artwork for each project

Cloud Ceiling at Progress Bar

This project definitely must fit our weekly Interior design sets.Calgary-based artists Caitlind r.c. Brown and Wayne Garrett (previously) swung by Chicago this month and installed this amazing interactive lighting solution called Cloud Ceiling at Progress Bar. Constructed from hand-bent steel, reflective mylar, electronics, motion sensors, LEDs, and 15,000 re-appropriated incandescent light bulbs, the cloud is now a permanent fixture in the bar. via
