After Silence dir. Henning Himmelreich
Fresh graduate from the Film Academy of Baden Württemberg, Germany, Henning Himmelreich shares his short motion design film “After Silence”
After Silence addresses the inner process of mental and emotional regeneration of human psyche. To visually represent this process the film uses the imaginary from Egyptian mythology and its concept of the journey into the afterlife in an abstract manner.
The process of self-purification is visualized through both abstract and direct representations of deities and other mythological images, combined with modern graphical elements.
The protagonist is trapped in an uninhabitable world reigned by chaos, which is a visual representation of her own state of mind. As she enters subconsciousness, a mixture of self-reflection and external judgement makes her undergo self-purification. By passing all stages successfully and facing her demons she reaches a state of perfect harmony that purifies the soul.
The world around her changes correspondingly and darkness becomes light.
Art of Brian Alfred
American artist Brian Alfred is best known for his collages, paintings, and digital animations. He works fluidly between classic and contemporary media like drawing and digital art, and he depicts subject matters that range from architecture and technology to modern idealism and romantic heroism. Best known for his works that examine how people's perception of their surrounding world and culture is mediated by technology, Alfred's practice is often accounted for as socio-critical and a mirror of our contemporary times.
He creates flattened and usually depopulated worlds of color reproduced in two dimensional bold patterns, often derived from found images. Alfred explores the effect public imagery has on individual perceptions of reality by using newspaper photographs, television advertising, and the internet as source. Inscrutable scenes in his paintings and animations remind the viewer of how public media tend to show a glimpse of reality: relevant information is cropped out of the image and the overall picture is flattened into a coherent colourful narrative of a simple ideology.

Everything is Sculpture by Big Boy Studio
'Once Upon Another' is a visual narrative that challenges the notion of traditional sculpture and its relationship with surrounding spaces. It's inspired by a quote by the Japanese-American artist and designer Isamu Noguchi:
"Everything is sculpture. Any material, any idea without hindrance born into space, I consider sculpture."
It consists of a series of vignettes of installations (or in this case sculptures) that live in grand architectural landscapes, seen through a CG lens.

Emograms by kissmiklos .
Budapest-based artist and designer Miklós Kiss aka @kissmiklos shares his latest public art affair “emograms” he presented as a part of solo exhibition at Lotte Gallery, Incheon, South Korea, 2020
The exhibition consists of two parts. The first space is built around emograms and the installation Ball.Room. The second displays a new installation called, LOVE field, and a typography-based sculpture.
Miklós Kiss’s works incorporate various facets of architecture, fine art, design, and graphic design. A strong artistic approach and outstanding aesthetic quality characterise his art. His fine art pieces are just as significant as his distinctive style in corporate identity and graphic designs.
These giant badges are based on the first Smiley, which was originally a badge itself. The „smiley“ was born in 1963 when Harvey R. Ball, owner of an advertising agency in the USA, came up with the idea to use it to lift the mood of the workers of a recently merged insurance company.
