RE: – A Unique Audiovisual Art Installation

RE_Art_Installation

RE:, an audiovisual art installation by Bram Snijders and Carolien Teunisse, was part of the ‘Borderless Reality’ exhibition held in Seoul, Korea.

Using 360° projection-mapping techniques and a complicated arrangement of mirrors, the installation allows a projector to beam images back on to its own surface.

Virtual pixels become points of augmentation in actual space? The reflected projection makes a mixed reality appear and disappear. In most cases the projector has a functional role in a video-installation; the projector in ‘RE:’ functions as a symbol for both sender as receiver of the medium (of) light.

The Fantasy Digital Art of Alex Andreyev

clouds

Alex Andreyev has been a graphic designer and artist for the last 20 years. He creates his awesome, phantasmagorical artworks using Adobe Photoshop and Corel Painter.

Snip from the artist’s site:

I’ve been drawing for as long as I remember myself. Both graphic design and digital art attract me, but recently I tend to commit to digital art more than anything else.

I tried various techniques, including traditional inks, pens, brushes and also experimented with digital art. Now I use Adobe Photoshop and Corel Painter, just brushes, no fancy stuff or filters. By using (a) limited toolset I am able to achieve stylistic consistency throughout my artwork. I focus more on expression of my creative concepts than on technology or tools. While working in digital medium, I am free of limitations of traditional tools, such as drying of oil paint, changing of gouache color or etching line width.

Alex is based in Saint Petersburg, Russia. He is currently working on the concept art for an upcoming animation film – Kin-Dza-Dza.

You can buy high resolution prints of the works on his official site (caution: some images on the site are NSFW).
