The Stories

April 29, 2020 by Arseny Vesnin in 2020, Advertising, Motioncollector, Russia, Portfolios

Following the words of director Mikhail Konoplev - “The goal was to develop main titles for a film, based on a general concept and drama. “The Stories” film is based on the confrontation of a man and a woman. At the end of each story, the woman won, and the man suffered or even died. And in one story, a man still prevailed. I wanted to draw a metaphorical analogy between our story and the myth of the jellyfish Gorgon and Perseus. As well as the main objects that affect what is happening.”

“Staging herself in the middle of nature and atypic location from around the world, Brooklyn-based photographer and multi-media artist Belden Carlson interacts with her environment and then adds another touch with mixed-media collages for her final compositions..” via @trendland

In her ‘Self-Portraiture’ series, she’s an integral part of the landscapes, adopting unusual postures and embracing the surrounding around her. She immortalizes her own identity to stand for present by literally becoming one with each scenes.

Vulputate Commodo Ligula

Ongoing collaboration “KIRO ╳ Zhostovo” is a clear example of how traditional folk art integrates with contemporary art. Abstract artworks of Irina Kiro (from her series “Emotionalia” she created during art residency at Mas els Igols, Spain) found new meanings as they transformed as an artistic reflection of traditional Zhosotovo painting on metal trays. The new visual meaning is painstakingly reproduced by masters from Zhosotovo factory strictly following classic cannons of 19 century.

POSTHUMAN

April 24, 2020 by Arseny Vesnin in 2020, Agencies, Digital Art, Advertising, Graphic Design, United Kingdom

London based new multimedia creative studio POSTHUMAN shares their visual thoughts on near-future trends of human perception that we totally follow on our own @digital.decade platform

““The key to the posthuman practice is the ability to fluidly change perspectives and manifest oneself through different identities. The posthuman has an emergent ontology rather than a stable one; in other words, the posthuman is not a singular, defined individual, but rather one who can “become” or embody different identities and understand the world from multiple, heterogeneous perspectives” and this is the core of our creative process.”

Sarofsky + FITC: "What You May Find"

April 23, 2020 by Arseny Vesnin in 2020, Digital Art, Motioncollector

For the 2020 edition of its flagship annual creative event in Toronto, design and technology event producer FITC engaged design-driven production company Sarofsky to create an epic main title piece. With the event's postponement, both companies forged a new strategy to share their powerful cinematic experience, entitled "What You May Find." Set to a new rendition of the classic hit "In The Year 2525," this rich, iconic animation offers a stark vision of "what we may find," ending with a ray of hope.

What You May Find: The Future of Innovation
What does the future hold? Can you see it? Things are progressing and changing faster and faster, sometimes, but not always for the better. As we enter the year 2020, we want to explore the future. What we want, what we imagined, and what will be. But all progress comes at a price.

What You May Find: The Future of Creativity
We live in the future now. For every new design and development, there are serious and incredible consequences. Will you find a new path, a new system, a new set of tools or a new found love for something from the past.

What You May Find: The Future of Technology
We have state of the art technology in our pockets, and access to centuries of information with only a word. Where are the flying cars and jetpacks that we envisioned and were promised? Will our advances eventually plateau, or lead to a singularity.

Elise Unreal Sculpture

April 22, 2020 by Arseny Vesnin in 2020, Art, Digital Art, Portfolios, Sculpture, United Kingdom

“Elise is an anonymous London-based artist creating delirious sculptures. Experimenting with mass and volume, the shapes appear solid yet intangible, somewhere on the edge between realism and an evanescent dream. Painted in pastels, cracked and imperfect, the artworks reflect on the subjectivity of aesthetics as small details and elements can influence our perception of what is harmonious and beautiful or unsettling.” via @trendland

“Angle, curve, surface and dimensionality merge to form an unlikely symmetry that conjoins or dissipates as the gaze spans her compositions. She draws the viewer into a deliriously disorientating world, where intriguing sculptural shapes connect and collide”

Letter, Lotus and Legend

April 21, 2020 by Arseny Vesnin in 2020, Digital Art, Portfolios, Russia

The Moscow-based creative design studio Superdesigners just released their latest passion project “Letter, Lotus and Legend”, a four-month odyssey into the creative process that weaves “the martial grace of the samurai with the textures and fabrics of a hi-tech clothing brand.” The result is a stunning 3D video of what could be the textures & fabrics trend directions for a hi-tech clothing company.

“Martial arts have always been a breath of fresh air for western culture. Starting with the first American film adaptations about the samurai, a unified philosophy of perfecting one’s mind and spirit has been accreting additional cultural layers without losing its distinct archaic character.

We decided to distill this cluster of meaning into striking choreography familiar from films, enrobing it in eclectic technological shapes.

This piece is about how incessant contradiction and conflict within our psyche lead to feelings of dismay; these feelings are then inevitably expressed through violence and struggle, so that a fragile balance may once again be restored.”

Aenean eu leo Quam

Exceptional photographer and our friend Anna Radchenko reflects on isolation and social distancing through photography with her “The Comfort Zone” series

What does isolation mean to us? How do we feel about it once it’s imposed and our freedom is
taken away?

“Although these photos were shot before the
international lockdown, they’ve become even more relevant in the current landscape. Much of
what we took for granted, including the freedom to leave our homes, go to work and meet people,
has been replaced by a growing feeling of uncertainty and confinement. We find ourselves in an
alternative reality, where we have to change our habits and some of our traits as we are spending
so much time on our own”

Norr Packaging by Slava Vovk

April 09, 2020 by Arseny Vesnin in 2020, Branding, Graphic Design, Portfolios, Russia

Russian designer Slava Vovk shared his latest branding work made for NORR. It is a producer of canned seafood from Sweden, 100% natural product from the north, nothing more and nothing less. The assortment consists of large and small species of marine fish, as well as delicacies, delicious mollusks and crabs.

"NORR" in Swedish means "north", the name sets the atmosphere of minimalism, as a guide for the design of the entire packaging line.

The design and materials of the outer and inner packaging interact in contrasts. Bright outside, like a variety of marine fauna, and white inside, like frosty northern nature.
