Cologne-based visual artist Dmitry Zakharov released a pretty awesome animation "Inside Me".
"This project is based on a 3D-scan technique, which allows me to reproduce an image of my own body as a 3D object in a software. It is possible to view this object not just from outside, but also from the inside as a negative as well, which creates abstract shapes.
The coloration was generated with the help of colour data I took from a real picture. The film reflects the invisible inner world of an individual, which owns a small universe in itself, created by experiences and feelings - as well in the digital world as in real life. We try to express ourselves and approach our world another being, but still, nobody can see in our souls entirely.
For me, the process of scanning is a very important part of this work itself. The idea of digitising a body and hence the creation and deformation of its computer generated self, reflects the digital world we live in today. We create an alternative world, in which everybody can be what they want to be. In some way, it resembles to an act of creation. We never stop building more worlds for ourselves, even though there are already various ones encircling us, that we don't even understand yet.
Each universe encloses another, which creates a new one, and the world next to us still seems far away. And so we look into infinity again, which inevitably surrounds us."

Unsuspecting trekkers in the Hollywood Hills encounter a huge, three dimensional letter ‘H’ along their path. A few steps later, they discover a viewfinder striped like a rockslide warning sign, through its lens it appears the 'H' is missing from the Hollywood sign. Continuing up the trail, more missing letters and viewfinders are discovered until finally there is nothing left of the sign at all…The project "Falling Icons" has been done by Ordinary Architecture

This stunning old blacksmith's warehouse has been converted with lots of light wood, bright white walls and concrete floor. It's the second home of Dorte Mandrup-Poulsen and two other Danish architects (Louis Becker and Jens Thomas Arnfred). “It’s important when you convert an old building to be careful not to remove the soul of what was there. If everything is renewed, it becomes too perfect,” Dorte says. Therefore they preserved the blacksmith equipment, like the traditional iron stove, old metal tables and the original iron windows, which are among her favorite features because they frame the seaside views throughout the home. Imperfections tell the history of this home.

Bilingual Identity for a new international British Council exhibition Dressing the Screen: The Rise of Fashion Film. The work has been created by a Moscow-based trio of young designers Roma Lazarev, Kir Khachaturov and Vladislav Poliakov and recently won the Yellow Pencil at D&AD 2014 New Blood The basis of our concept is a well-known optical effect animating static images discovered in the early XIX century by a prominent English scientist Peter Mark Roger. Today it is mostly known as “motograph” or “scanimation”. This breakthrough played a significant role in the history of filmmaking. Inspired by the “motograph” effect and experimental photoworks by a great fashion photographer Erwin Blumenfeld, we created a special font and developed a system reflecting the high-fashion and moving image nature of the exhibition and reminding of the pioneering role that Great Britain played in the development of fashion film.

Our friend and multi talented artist Sougwen Chung released all information about her latest installation "Ecdysis" ECDYSIS is an immersive audio-visual installation depicting biological and architectural adaptation. In Ecdysis, kinetic light, scored by ambient sound, is cast on 36 interwoven planes, suspended in space by their tensional integrity.
Ecdysis is a culmination of contrasts, tracing across gradients of the geometric and organic, the digital and the physical, the melodic and the dissonant. Viewers of the piece are invited to walk within the installation to experience the piece from multiple perspectives, rejecting the notion of audience as passive spectator as they themselves become enveloped forms within the world of Ecdysis.
