Hail to the Chief by Frank Synowicz

February 06, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Digital Art, Portfolios, USA, 2018

Frank Synowicz is a multidisciplinary new media/digital artist and designer working with Computer graphics, visual effects, video, virtual reality, and traditional painting and drawing. He presents the new art projects "Hail to the Chief" and "Composite of the Chiefs" where under anthropological decomposition he creates the demystification of the American idols

Currently on view at The Los Angeles Center for Digital Art LACDA

This portrait series reflects the fun house nature of the American political process. The circus-like spectacle distorts details of the individuals seeking the prime office. Our relation to them is mainly from the many facets of historical representation and media coverage. Their exalted placement conjures a synthetic character, which becomes warped as it is consumed by the world. This feeds the base of American mythology and the drive of current campaigns.

The fight for control plays out on the public stage, triggering a national identity crisis. Attacks and propaganda distort reality, twisting these most famous of faces. Strings pulled for posturing position, propping up the most promised person at the helm. A side step song and dance, juggling talking points and agenda. A pageant of manufactured personality. Placing in the public eye a poster picture of power and promise.

Saint City Over the Winter Skies

February 06, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Russia, Motioncollector, 2018

The best city in the world (by my version) can never bring you down even it was brought down on different occasions through the 20 century turmoil. Talented guys from Timelab Pro lead by Andrey Efimov amazed us again (and before). The feather blow of a snow from St Isaac cupola makes my heart go fast even I write this post from only 10 km to the south from the location. I can't imagine myself watching this masterpiece outside St Petersburg just because it can brake my heart apart.

Phygital Art of Ada Sokol

January 29, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Digital Art, France, Portfolios, 2018

"Ada Sokol sums up her work with two words: “innovation, sleekness”. A chance encounter with the Paris-based, Polish-born artist and 3D designer’s work quickly had us hooked and digging deep into her portfolio rich with commissioned and personal projects. With a flair for 3D rendering which is so photorealistic, it left us wondering where the constructed ended and the real began, Ada is a future talent destined for great things." from It's Nice That interview

Hyper Realism by Evgeny Lushpin

January 25, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Russia, Portfolios, 2018

Acclaimed "Master of Light" talented artist Evgeny Lushpin creates jaw-dropping realistic artworks with a drop of magic twist, in that way that you not allow you to mess it up with a photography.

Born outside Moscow in 1966, and then educated in Russia's finest schools, Lushpin crafts lush masterpieces that transport viewers to the time and place of his choosing. From golden, unforeseen moments along hidden canals, to the warmth of a stately centuries-old European mansion, to some of the world's most famous cities.

One can find his works too figurative but the truth is in the eyes of beholder and who said Art has no genres like Music. Evgeny plays a main violin in hyper realism orchestra. Art is not about what you see, it is about what you feel.

CarbonSpace

January 24, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in South Korea, Motioncollector, Art, Digital Art, Portfolios, 2018

CarbonScape is the latest kinetic data soundscape installation created by h0nh1m aka Chris Cheung It consists of 18 tracks of granular synthesized sound samples, collected from the sound sources where carbon footprints left; from the jet engine sound, steam noises of the factory to the horn of the ships etc…one minute long for each track, giving chances to stand in silent tribute to the mother earth. The finale is composed of all tracks blending into the soundscape.

The work is a visualisation of carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere according to the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) since 1958. In 2017, the concentration of CO2 soared to its highest of the past three million years, with industrialization and the use of fossil fuels being one of the major factors. The installation arranged in a bamboo forest like landscape, with the changing ambience drone noises, imitates chimneys frequently found in power plants and factories, with black spheres indicating CO2 levels around the globe. Immersing the viewer in an environment taken over with chimneys, CarbonScape thinks about what our position as humans can be, while the earth’s capacity for life reaches its limits.
