3rd Wave of Inspiration
Since 2003
The largest creative festival in Europe - OFFF Barcelona 2018 just started today and already shared booming news! Welcome "The Artists’ Room" by Mathery
Inspired by the four letters that makes the OFFF festival's name, “The Artists’ Room” tells the story of Oliver, Frida, Federica and Fiona who as they talk, never pronounce their initials.
Young Australian artist Olympia Antoniadis welcomes to her inner world. Voyeuristic and playful, Antoniadis allures the viewer into quiet spaces exploring the domestic territories of others. Her work is commonly based in the bedroom where one finds them self in a familiar space, intimate and calm expressing the most benign potential of human life.
Antoniadis' fixation with fabric lends itself to the moulding and fleshlike nature that envelops her subjects, softly building forms and provoking a playground of possibilities. Her paintings are often focused on the mundane where common occurrences are shifted and provoked by the figures that emerge.

He is a creature of SUPERFICTION Studio based in Seoul, that focuses on 'fiction' in the word 'Science Fiction'.

AWWWWARDS asked Madrid-based TAVO studio to come up with the visuals for festival video openers
“The friends of AWWWARDS called us again, this time it was for the complete creation of the image & identity of the event, both for the web, by the hand of the ADORATORIO STUDIO guys, and for the offline image of the event, print and editorial. The concept of these two conferences, Berlin and San Francisco, was DIGITAL THINKERS. We took care of materializing that concept with an explosion of colors and geometric shapes, making a wink to the banding effect that we have suffered so much digital designers with gradients”

Time to revisit portfolio of Spanish self taught artist Alexander Grahovsky now showcasing his best works with Creative Debuts in London. His bubble gum paintings are rad, he offers them as prints as well, and his outlook is all about balance.
Hattie Stewart is an Artist and Illustrator based in London, UK. Although she is best known for 'doodlebombing' over influential Magazines, her tongue-in-cheek artwork moves fluidly between many creative fields including Fashion, Music and Contemporary Art.
She is about to open an exhibition of new immersive works for NOW Gallery in London’s Greenwich Peninsula this month.
Hattie’s I Don’t Have Time For This exhibition is the gallery’s first collaboration with a young artist as part of its new programme, which aims to work with rising artists “who have an unusual approach and standout visual aesthetic”.
Commissioned by the gallery’s cultural curator Kaia Charles, the free exhibition from May 16 to June 25 will feature large scale floor-based artwork that invites participation with Hattie’s legendary doodle bomb illustrations, references to psychedelic art from the 60s and post-modern classics like Who Framed Roger Rabbit, offering the viewer a clean break from reality.
Commissioned for the National Gallery of Victoria’s inaugural Triennal, ‘Flower Obsession’ is an immersive installation that invites guests to “obliterate” a room with flower stickers — and in doing so, to enact Kusama’s childhood memory.
For those of you living in the space, a good half of designers have been busy participating in 36 Days of Type recently run world-wide from Barcelona. We focus on Marv Castillo as he comes up with and idea to focus on "movies" and soft physical Play-Doh when a majority of participants stick to 3D renders.
Iconic Mexican architect Luis Barragan’s Casa Gilardi — an iconic modernist house in Mexico City — hosts a body-bending dance troupe who twist and move through the geometric building’s colorful spaces and rooms. Director Andres Arochi explains his interest in experimenting with the physicality of Barragan’s architecture: “I wanted to play around with and explore the architect’s design. He knew exactly when and where people stand, and how the combination of light and space makes them feel.” Continuing, he notes that: “When we began shooting, magic started to happen. Light burst in through the window, and the dancer’s bodies started to flow in a way I had not anticipated.”
Boston based artist creates muted and blinded by silk portraits of unknown fears
"Inspired by El Lissitzky, a key figure of the Russian avant-gardemovement in the early 20th century, ELIT PROUN BAR is the result of a creative collaboration between London-based architectural practice Carmody Groarke and Wallpaper* Handmade. Part art, part architecture, it was developed under the auspices of elit® Vodka, a platinum, award-winning premium vodka, and unveiled at Wallpaper* Handmade’s “Wellness & Wonder” exhibition during Milan Design Week 2018, taking centre stage in the Mediateca Santa Teresa, an 18th century baroque church turned into digital library."
Kim Høltermand is a freelance architectural and landscape photographer from Denmark, recently dropped a series of hypnotising urban photography made in the fog after rain
"Our current society has evolved into an increasingly interconnected world through the 8.4 billion networked devices (as of 2017) that have become tools of survival in our modern lives. Personal data is constantly uploaded to these networks and a real-time stream of information and images that narrate our identities is available. The algorithms of these networks become filters for these narratives. altering the perception of our identities. The feedback, authentication, and traits of our identities within these digital networks have a very real influence on the psychological interpretation of ourselves. This alteration of our identities through networks is largely invisible, yet it creates very real barriers and conceptual walls, which we have to navigate in order to access. "
"By allowing viewers to see their own images which are uploaded to a transparent light panel through the internet, the algorithms and code contained in this work allows viewers to interact with algorithms in a transparent and visible way that is more akin the reality of the ways in which algorithms reorder and classify our identities without our knowledge. "
Hype Cycle is a series of futurist films exploring human-machine collaboration through performance and emerging technologies.
Machine Learning is the second set of films in the Hype Cycle series. It builds on the studio’s past experiments with motion studies, and asks: when will machines achieve human agility?
Set in a spacious, well-worn dance studio, a dancer teaches a series of robots how to move. As the robots’ abilities develop from shaky mimicry to composed mastery, a physical dialogue emerges between man and machine – mimicking, balancing, challenging, competing, outmanoeuvring.
Can the robot keep up with the dancer? At what point does the robot outperform the dancer? Would a robot ever perform just for pleasure? Does giving a machine a name give it a soul?
These human-machine interactions from Universal Everything are inspired by the Hype Cycle trend graphs produced by Gartner Research, a valiant attempt to predict future expectations and disillusionments as new technologies come to market.
