Augenzucker: Maxim Zhestkov – Artificial Organisms

10. November 2021 um 9:59 Uhr von Ronny

Neue Arbeit von Maxim Zhestkov, der dafür künstliche Organismen wabern, schimmern und pulsieren lässt.

We are a product of biological evolution that started its own evolutionary process in the virtual space. Isolated from human control by design, digital intelligence defines its further evolution by itself, slowly growing into an independent subject that will eventually redefine our physical and virtual realities.

Detached from biological, it is a digital-born inhabitant of the metaverse. Will it manifest itself in any three-dimensional shape or will it outgrow our form-oriented reality?

For centuries to come, Artificial Organisms, unfamiliar creatures of the new world, will exist in the digital universes, exploring and building them without our guidance. Perceiving these creatures from our point of view, we can only imagine how they will look, projecting our outdated beliefs onto the unknown future, where might no longer be a place for us.

Wasser, Pigmente und Tinte imitieren die Erde von oben: Satellike

28. Januar 2021 um 20:16 Uhr von Ronny

Ein wirklich wunderschöner Kurzfilm von Roman De Giulis, für den er mit dem Einsatz von Wasser, Pigmenten und Tinte so etwas wie Luftbildaufnahmen der Erde imitiert.

This project was initiated by a job I did for the National Palace Museum of Taipeh. The museum ran an exhibition on culture treasures of the history of Taiwan in 2020. I was hired to create fluid and abstract interpretations of some iconic items, a collection of several drawings and artworks. I decided to develop my existing methods further, stepping away from stock paints and ink and creating most of the paints myself. One important aspect was to implement natural colors and realistic earth tones to the color palette and focus more on details than on a commercial look with punchy color and contrast.
Over a period of 4 months, I experimented with natural substances like sand, stone powder and historic pigments. Some of these supplies are rare and expensive, for example jade and malachite powder.

Eye candy: Beyond the horizon

29. Juli 2020 um 10:50 Uhr von Ronny

Neues und wieder schön hypnotisierendes Video von Rus Khasanov.

As with all my art projects, in «beyond the horizon» I used simple materials to create a new visual experiment.
Behind this project there are dozens of shooting days, during which hundreds of gigabytes of photos and videos were filmed with Sony a7RII and Sony a7RIV. There were 5 final versions of this video, which I reworked adding new footage again and again.
While working on this project, I was faced with the constant following of the ideal shot, which is so close and distinct, but constantly disappears beyond the horizon.

Funkelnde Kugeln aus Farbe und Glitzer explodieren und vereinen sich

19. August 2019 um 10:29 Uhr von Ronny

Neues und wieder sehr schönes Augenzuckervideo von Rus Khasanov, den ich samt seiner experimentellen Farbkunstwerke hier schon des Öfteren mal hatte.

A couple of months later, as a result of experiments with various ingredients, I found an easy and stable way for the paint balls to be attracted to each other, merged and not burst. When you master the technique, you can already playfully turn the flaws into advantages: now in the bursting paint ball I see not a nightmare, but a bright colorful explosion which reminds me of fireworks.
Also in this video, the bokeh effect plays a major role. Some people reproach me that my work is not sharp, and that I shoot with a small depth of field, but I never saw this as a problem, but on the contrary, I see this as beauty.

Kaffee und Farbe in Nahaufnahme

9. Januar 2019 um 10:00 Uhr von Ronny

Was wir als Augenzucker bisher eher aus der Mischung von Wasser, Milch, Ölen, Farben und Tinten kannten, hat Thomas Blanchard jetzt mal mit Kaffee veranstaltet und ist mit seiner Kamera dann ganz nahe rangegangen. Das sieht großartig aus und wenn man dann noch den Geruch von frischem Espresso in der Nase hat. Mhmmm… Erstmal ‘n Kaffee.

„“Oooh !! My Delicious Coffee“ is an experimental dreamlike video rocking us smoothly through circular moves. The visual compositions have been created out of paint, oil and Coffee.“

Die natürliche Schönheit Islands trifft auf visuelle Effekte: ΔNOMΔLY

21. November 2018 um 13:34 Uhr von Ronny

Und das sieht zusammen ziemlich gut aus, finde ich.

ΔNOMΔLY ist is a short film combining travel footage from Iceland with visual effects. I traveled to the ‘Land of Ice and Fire’ in October 2017. With a concept in mind of what I wanted to create I teamed up with Benni, Markus and Johannes of Wildboar 3D Studio. Luckily the guys shared my vision so we worked on this passion project together.
