Quayola + Deskriptiv
"We helped artist Davide Quayola with his newest piece of the captives series. The sculpture was printed in one piece by voxeljet in Germany and is now exhibited at the ars electronica in Linz." says Christoph Bader from Deskriptiv
Captives is an ongoing series of digital and physical sculptures, a contemporary interpretation of Michelangelo’s unfinished series “Prigioni” (1513-1534) and his technique of “non-finito”.
The work explores the tension and equilibrium between form and matter, man-made objects of perfection and complex, chaotic forms of nature. Whilst referencing Renaissance sculptures, the focus of this series shifts from pure figurative representation to the articulation of matter itself. As in the original “Prigioni” the classic figures are left unfinished, documenting the very history of their creation and transformation.
Mathematical functions and processes describe computer-generated geological formations that evolve endlessly, morphing into classical figures. Industrial computer-controlled robots sculpt the resulting geometries into life-size “unfinished” sculptures.

Saint Petersburg City Logotypes
Who said it will be easy? To create logotype for the city like Saint Petersburg is like to direct a play of "Lady Macbeth" or "The Master and Margarita". Everybody knows it but nobody got close to it, dead or alive. The city identity requires a lot of everything: starting from a very complicated history ending with citizens that has a lot of doubts and bits about living here. To understand the city as someone said you must "drown" in it, or it will spit you outside or even leave you dying. Literally, Saint Petersburg has a lot of faces, and everyone who gets here see its own face. So let's check the three version of Saint Petersburg City Logotypes.
1. Unknown Pitch
The first one is said to be done by Moscovian (sic 1!) design studio "Art.Lebedev", but it is not approved. Please take this in consideration while studying the logo. First posted on German website (sic 2!), it spread across Russian web with a lot of doubts over iconography and some typography issues.
2. I Love SPB
Done by initiative group lead by Ruslan Chernobayev (St.Petersburg Design Week) and talented illustrator Alex Andreyev and supported by BCA Agency, ILOVESPB is a next pitch to have pros and contras. The logo has a personal website http://ilove.spb.ru/ and hope has a long journey to be real.
3. Yakushev Design Studio Pitch
The third pitch is again from Moscovian studio of Yakushev Branding has a good typography designed by Ivan Gladkikh and lemon-faced trend of "generic" logotype, that we'll leave on your consideration. Personally, this project is a good moodboard and research of possible graphic design trends, but hardly represents the Saint Petersburg City itself.
Meanwhile please enjoy the beauty of the city in different timelapse motions we collected all this time
