Most Interesting Digital Experiences in 2016

December 29, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in 2016, TOP 2016

With no doubts "digital art" and everything around establishing a new era in our cultural history right here, right now. With our personal annual collaboration The Digital Decade we raise the bar for ourselves and artists involved, and next year we are going to hit the Digital Experience more than ever. Meanwhile we look at the magicians working in digital art industry, using spaces as canvases and light as a tool. Enjoy our selection of best installations went this year around the globe.


Immorphosis

 

Immorphosis - 360 ° projection space, created by french Collectif Scale for the club space of La Gaîté Lyrique museum in Paris. The viewer can immerse himself in one of the four video tracks, controlling them through the interface in the central part of the installation.


U-Machine - Genèse

 

A pole dancer appears to bend light in this mesmerizing projection mapped performance by U-Machine. 


Our Time by United Visual Artists

 

Our Time (2016) is the latest large-scale installation by United Visual Artists investigating our subjective experience of the passing of time. How long is a moment? At what rate does time actually pass? The work joins a series of kinetic sculptures that began with Momentum (2013); an installation designed as a 'spatial instrument' that was to reveal the relationship between expectation and perception when intersected with a physical space. Our Time defines a physical environment where pendulums swing at a pace apparently unhindered by the laws of nature and where no single time measurement applies. The installation combines movement, light and sound as a multi-sensory, multi-dimensional canvas the visitor can enter. Pendulums swing, each to their own rhythm, as time flows through the grid. With light tracing the path and sound its echo, the passing of time becomes almost palpable.


A World of Wonders

 

"When you stand among the handiwork of teamLab, a Japanese tech art studio, you’re seemingly transported to a sprawling foreign land that engulfs you in a vibrant, light-filled splendor. This immersive approach is now the focus of a massive exhibition that spans 3,000 square meters (over 32,000 square feet) and is called DMM.Planets Art by teamLab. It showcases a variety of the group’s digital work throughout the years, including new pieces just revealed to the public.


My Whale installation by TUNDRA

 

Reimagined and bigger scale version of interactive hexagonal installation “MyWhale” which was originally produced as a site-specific interactive installation by Tundra for “Brusov”, a renovated ship, laid up on Moscow river and turned into an art-cluster.
The inner revision of MyWhale was specially made for “9 Lights in 9 Rooms” exhibition at D MUSEUM (Seoul, Korea) and was visited by more than 200.000 visitors during the period of exhibition.


First VR Space Car Test-Drive by DEPARTÁMENT

 

 

Using dome-shaped futuristic construction shelling Audi A4 inside of #a4space VR Installation, Moscow-based event production team DEPARTÁMENT level up the virtual reality experience stepping outside simple frames of plastic glasses. The whole Audi A4 car become a sort of "oculus" on wheels delivering the physical imitation of zero-gravity forces and "driving" people into the new worlds projected and synchronised with the driver gestures. Total thing was programmed and designed by SILA SVETA.


Hakanaï projection mapping dance performance by Adrien M and Claire B

 

Hakanaï is a solo choreographic performance that unfolds through a series of images in motion. In Japanese Hakanaï denotes that which is temporary and fragile, evanescent and transient, and in this case something set between dreams and reality. This symbolic relationship is the foundation of the dance composition in which a dancer gives life to a space somewhere between the borders of imagination and reality, through her interactions with the images she encounters. 


Rio 2016 Beginning of Life projection mapping by Susi Sie

 

The 128 meter projection for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Rio 2016 Title: Beginning Of Life I Client: Olympic Games I Agency: Oito Zero Oito I Creative Director: Fabio Soares, Fernando Meirelles I Visual Artist: Susi Sie I Music and Sound Design: Antonio Pinto


Our Colour by Liz West

 

"Liz West creates a multi-coloured rainbow space for Bristol Biennial. Known for her vibrant light installations, the artist filled an empty office block with gel-filtered, fluorescent shades, from radiant red to nostalgic violet. West wanted to build a sensory experience that will put human perception in focus. ‘Our Colour’ site-specific project let her find that the eye travelling through an entire palette will most likely return to the colour it finds most comfortable and pause to enjoy it."


Nike Free Experience

Nike approached Amsterdam-based studio Random to create their new outdoor experience using cutting edge technologies


Art of Science by Sila Sveta

 

Sila Sveta produced one of the largest video projection made on the façade of the unique architectural landmark - the main tower of Moscow State University at the Vorobyovy Hills. The projected area covered over 50 000 square meters and was over 0.5 km long, 212 projectors were used for the show.

"PULSAR lamp is a project by SAVE art & science laboratory. The project’s idea is to create a design object which would allow observing a chemical process in real time. Substance sublimation and crystallization processes can be observed inside the PULSAR lamp. We have created a series of such lamps using different chemical processes. Alchemy means transformation, which takes place not only in chemistry but also in the human consciousness. We are interested in investigating mental transformation processes inside a human being."

Art of Andrew Hem

December 19, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Portfolios, USA, 2016

 “Unknown Terrain”  is a culmination of Andrew Hem's imaginative view of the world.  In his show statement, Hem shares his personal goal of painting the Seven Wonders of the World by the time he is thirty years old. Here, he portrays sites like the Grand Canyon and Mount Everest, recreating the experience of seeing them as an emotional one, rather than capturing their physical reality. Although these are famous places, many of them are out of reach or facing the threats of industry, becoming “unknown” to future generations.

Art of Nicomi Nix Turner

December 19, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Illustration, USA, Portfolios, 2016

Graphite art of Nicomi Nix Turner is filled up with occult symbols. Creating detailed illustrations that invoke a surreal understanding of the perfection in nature, her works delve into the occult and the connections between alchemy, mythology, decay and birth. Her hyper-detailed illustrations capture the coexistence of life and decay in a bouquet of fungi, personified insects, bones, flesh and fauna.

“It’s about everyone’s individual perception of reality, their life background, circumstances, and social status, all this stuff creates fictional boundaries that aren’t there actually; laser beams create a grid that is visible, but you can cross it if you want.”

AKQA – The Snow Fox

December 16, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Agencies, United Kingdom, Mobile Applications, 2016

Just in time for this holiday season, AKQA launched The Snow Fox – a children’s story that comes to life by voice.

The Snow Fox is a wintry tale of a young child who adventures through the forest with a newfound furry friend in search of his/her mother. But this is no ordinary story. The Snow Fox is powered by words. As the child reads, the story animates. When a sentence is finished, the story automatically transitions to the next scene. Word by word the story comes to life, bringing an element of magic to special bedtime story bonding moments between parent and child.

Download app

Using the latest SiriKit to turn voice into a reading gesture—a mobile first—The Snow Fox gives new life to the oldest form of story while transforming how we incentivize our children to learn. At the end of The Snow Fox, children can create a short memento of their narration to share with family and friends, highlighting their voice.

Art of Panos Tsagaris

December 16, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Greece, Portfolios, 2016

New York based, Greek artist Panos Tsagaris burst onto the art scene in 2005 with his first solo exhibition "Theanthropic" and has since embarked, both artistically and personally—as these are undeniably intertwined, at least in Tsagaris’ case—on a journey of continual transformation towards a higher state, a “state of Catharsis” in the artist’s own words.

Drawing on the fields of spiritualism, esotericism and the Occult among others, his artistic process can be compared to that of an alchemist, as curator at large at MADRE Museum Eugenio Violahas poignantly observed, combining disparate elements, from contemporary life to quantum physics to mystical traditions, in order to achieve a masterfully calibrated equilibrium. This artistic-cum-alchemist transformational process aims at “capturing and expressing the restlessness and magic that exists in the soul of all of us” as the artist explains, in order to “elevate our ‘impure’ self to the level where it can reunite with our ‘Divine’ essence”.

December 15, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Advertising, Graphic Design, USA, Portfolios, 2016

Elena Miska is a New York based art director who’s just hit refresh on her website to include new works

“I’m a graphic designer and art director living in Brooklyn, but am originally from the Bay Area in California. My whole life revolved around art and dance, and I actually went to school for a year at SUNY Purchase here in NY, but had to move back to California after a dance-related injury. (It was actually a blessing in disguise – I will always love dance, but ended up finding my calling in design.) I got my degree in Graphic Design from Academy of Art University, and worked for a few years in San Francisco doing design and art direction before moving back to New York a year and a half ago with my husband, Tom. We’re both in the same profession, and agreed that NY was the place to be (we were right!).”

““Icarus” is my non-narrative short drone film and really a homage to an awesome piece of technology, Phantom 3 Pro, that travels with me for the past 2 years to many many locations. From rocky cliffs of Isle of Skye to the mighty Dolomites in Italy. From unearthly Icelandic landscapes to lake belfry in Russia. Never in a million years have I though it would be possible to capture worlds beauty from this new and exiting prospects. New technology gives us this creative freedom and I am going to explore it furthermore.”
