LA Philharmonic's Anniversary projection by Refik Anadol
From September 28 through October 6 vibrant three-dimensional projections on the facade of Walt Disney Concert Hall are launched by artist Refik Anadol and his team (baked by Google Arts&Culture) to celebrate the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s 100th anniversary.
This public art installation projects transformed archival materials onto the exterior of Walt Disney Concert Hall in animated, data-driven patterns, seeming to give consciousness to the architectural landmark. The result is a radical visualization of the organization’s first century. The images are abstract representations of more than 45 terabytes of information from the L.A. Phil’s archives, including photos, videos, audio recordings, posters, and more.
The files were parsed into millions of data points that were then categorized by hundreds of attributes, by deep neural networks with the capacity to both remember the totality of the LA Phil’s “memories” and create new connections between them. The show is accompanied by the soundtrack that was created from the LA Phil’s archival recordings. Sound designers augmented these selections by using machine-learning algorithms to find similar performances recorded throughout the LA Phil’s history.

Maxim Zhestkov - Optics
Talented Russian media artist Maxim Zhestkov released his long-waited film "Optics". It's an experimental art film exploring the behavior of artificial light and color in digital environments. Blending architectural gallery space with computer-generated digital glass sculptures, we encounter animated refractions, chromatic aberrations, colourful reflection and other conditions which are impossible in reality. A series of tests and explorations guides us through different optical conditions of the bright and colorful digital universe.
The film was initiated as an experimental series of tests in Zhestkov.Studio. After some research, the studio realized that the beauty and visual power of these explorations could be transformed into an art film rather than remain a series of tests. For a couple of months, programmers and artists at Zhestkov.Studio developed different approaches and played with the infinite visual possibilities opened up by refractions and reflections with sound design by Marcelo Baldin.

Imaginary Soundscape
Nao Tokui is a Japanese media artist and DJ working on different projects researching soundscapes within visual systems. His latest "Imaginery Soundscape" web-based installation originally started as an exploration of how AI "imagines" a sound of any Google Street location using deep learning models.

Ocean Rift 裂痕海洋
"This series of works takes the ocean crisis as the topic, based on the Installation to present the ecosystem destruction by human activities. The singular mutation and death of marine life caused by Radiation and genetic modification, also involved elements of natural, polluting and synthetic." - Kim Yeonhee
The design combined with the destruction of raw materials, plastic, metal, and the dark heavy colors and the emotional impact of the destroyed scene, to interpret the "Ocean Rift".

Worth Its Weight in Gold by Dillon Marsh
South African photographer Dillon Marsh has created ‘Gold’: his fourth project (previously) that utilizes CGI techniques as part of the photographic series titled ‘For What It’s Worth’.
"The series explores a significant part of South Africa’s history; the mining of natural resources such as copper, gold, and diamonds, and the effect this has had on the land over time. In ‘Gold’, Marsh uses CGI to create a scale model of the total amount of gold extracted from each of the seven Witwatersrand Basin goldfields. For context, the Witwatersrand Basin is a geological formation responsible for almost half the world’s gold reserves. Marsh’s enormous gold spheres are juxtaposed against the land from which the gold is produced. The result is a poignant series of photographic images that speak loudly about our capitalistic demand for gold." via iGNANT
