Scuptures Of Alessandro Boezio
On the 500th anniversary of Hieronymus Bosch’s death, Milan-based artist Alessandro Boezio pays homage to the Dutch master through a series of surreal sculptures
“Exploring the intriguing interplay between reality and illusion, Boezio refers to the motifs of Bosch’s paintings, in particular ‘Triptych of the Temptation of St. Anthony’. Inspired by characters who try to refuse – or not – physical temptations, Boezio created a series of provoking sculptures in various anatomical formations. With some of them referring to the position during the prayer, and the others suggesting alluding to sexual positions, Boezio’s works teeter between the themes of spirituality and temptation.”

Motion Capture Dance Performance for AICP Awards
“Method Design was tapped by production company RSA to concept and create this year’s sponsor reel for AICP at the MoMA The AICP awards celebrate global creativity within commercial production. Method Design wanted to create an entertaining piece of design that encapsulates the innovative and prolific nature of this industry. Our aim was to showcase the AICP sponsors as various dancing avatars which playfully reference the visual effects used throughout production. Motion capture, procedural animation and dynamic simulations combine to create a milieu of iconic pop dance moves that become an explosion of colorful fur, feathers, particles and more.”

Kiran Gandhi x Joshua Davis x OFFF 2016 Barcelona
I was lucky to dance through the greatest performance ever dropped by mighty digital artist Joshua Davis at OFFF Festival. Teamed up with M.I.A's drummer Kiran Gandhi, Joshua created a live visual madness.
“A six month secret project incubated inside the Sub Rosa lab performed live at the OFFF Festival in Barcelona Spain. This 40 min rendering is from 27 unique, real-time, audio reactive systems to drive algorithmic animations. Each of the 27 animation systems we’re cue’d at key points in a 40 min track, with some new original music by Madame Gandhi, pre-mixed by Kiran and Alexia Riner. On stage, Kiran live drummed on top of the mix in addition to using OSC (Open Sound Control) to have her percussive hits change variables in the animation system. I also had a base set of variables that I could trigger via OSC that further controlled different aspects of the animation overall.”

Kevin Peterson Art
“Hyperrealist painter Kevin Peterson paints fairytale-like interactions of children and wolves, birds, and bears in scenes much different than the pastoral worlds of storybooks. Instead Peterson places the unlikely packs in distressed cities filled with decaying buildings and urban detritus. Despite the worn surroundings, the young girls in the paintings maintain a sense of innocence while they bravely explore the streets with their powerful compatriots.”

Situated in a new residential area of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, this multi-storied family residence is a reinterpretation of the local architectural vernacular, both in terms of composition and use of materials. Designed by the studio of Japanese, Vietnam-based architect Shunri Nishizawa, Thong House has the form of a stack of cubes built around a main staircase, the latter acting as the building’s spine and running continuously from the ground level all the way up to the roof garden. Various areas have been laid out around this main axis that offer an alternative to the traditional Vietnamese family lifestyle which comes about mainly through the use of large open spaces without walls, allowing the family to interact and connect in many different ways.

The Digital Decade 2016: Winners and Artists
With a lot of efforts from the team of Digital Decade and the best artists ever we are getting close to our London's exhibition happening in July 4-6 at Underdog Gallery.
The Digital Decade is the annual art collaboration run by Designcollector and partners started at OFFF Festival in 2013. The collaboration has 2 Phases and a resulting event.
1st Phase - we invite 20+ curated artists to warm up the event and create their works.
2nd Phase - we invite everyone to take part in Open Contest and having a large jury board we select the best one and give the exposure and prizes.
This year we worked closely with 25 Artists for the 1st Phase and welcomed 100 Applicants on the 2nd Phase. The "Digital Decade 4" got more than 30 Artworks from Open Contest and judges selected 1 Winner and 1 Special Selection this time. With the great help of Depositphotos we secured the resulting event at London's Underdog Art Gallery and with the help of team behind YouthWorldWide we are going to heat up this place for 3 days in July.
For now we would like to thank everyone involved it to our cause and happy to announce the winners of the 4th Annual Digital Art Open Contest "There is no planet B". These 2 persons will join the group show of merely 30 selected artworks created by artists that took a great challenge to Imagine Our Own Planet without shit happening today.

Elizaveta Porodina
Talented photographer Elizaveta Porodina got new updated website full of fashion lookbooks and campaigns worth to review and admire just because her photography has a lot of references to fine art
“In her experimental fashion and fine art photography, Elizaveta Porodina travels through time and space, extracting the underlying emotions in her entrancing productions. The Moscow born studied clinical psychologist plays with melancholic symbolism, sets connotations, sometimes ambiguous, sometimes honest and obvious – her range widely varying between cinematic, fashion and almost documentary imagery. Whether in dramatic black and white or vividly colored artworks, the Munich based photographer is a master of dark romanticism.”

Today Clock
You might remember the rainbow Present Clock created by Scott Thrift few years ago. Nowadays he is repeating the success of faceless wall-mount clocks and dropped a new Kickstarter project for pre-ordering Today Clock.
The clear, intuitive design of Today takes the edge off of time. Using a 24-hour movement engineered and assembled in Germany, Today quietly moves at half the speed of a regular clock, making one full rotation every day.

NYC residents in Gail Albert Halaban photography
You might remember voyeuristic photography of Parisian citizens by Gail Albert Halaban we posted few years ago. Here is New York residents caught through his lens.
“The residents are collaborators and their apartments are lit specifically to make these pictures, which explore a defining urban experience: becoming secretly familiar with the neighbors’ most intimate moments.”
