A 25 minute video loop with previously unreleased tracks by DJ Hell, made in collaboration with Balenciaga.

Here is a dramatic tension in his work between the real and the imagined in his use of often-appropriated digital objects to create virtual landscapes, which frequently contain elements – animals, machines, fragments of videogames – that are recognisable from our day to day life. This creates a symbiotic relationship between the digital and the real. In a very real way digital space has now become an intangible reality. The worlds built by Robak have a distinctly cinematic sensibility that hyperbolises the shine and dramatic effects of 3D rendered animation. The aesthetic of his work is supremely important, drawing the viewer into a truly alluring, indulgent and strangely gratifying environment. There is a further challenge to the void between high-art and the worlds of 3D animation and gaming, in the intersection between depiction and simulation. This can be partially attributed to the vernacular of advertising Robak is so proficient at utilising.

Tears For Fears “Break The Man”

Through a 3D animation in white black and very sophisticated, they transport us into a cold and labyrinth world, built like immense escherian space.

“Break the Man,” which features light piano and blasting guitar as the musicians reflect on women fighting patriarchy.

Parasitic endeavours
Simon Christoph Krenn’s 3D animation, Parasitic Endeavours, initially started out as the creative wanting to explore distorted perspectives on human evolution. “I think my main inspiration came from nature and its creative forces themselves. I used to study zoology at university and was especially fascinated by evolutionary biology and the development of animal morphologies. I realized the video’s strange and somehow creepy potential and decided to push the animation even more into this direction.”

Stasis in Flux
“Stasis in Flux is an experimentation of animation’s potential to mimic the real. I began by building a functional zoetrope within 3D space to test if persistence of vision is replicated accurately. From this experiment I realized 3D animations potential to go beyond the physical limits of the real, allowing me to coordinate movements between both the camera and the zoetrope to replicate much more advanced cinematic techniques. The result is a carefully choreographed animation that represents the ebb and flow of the creative process.” Joe Hambleton

In 2016, Dirk Koy founded the studio for motion design and experimental film «Dirk Koy Bild und Bewegung». In his work, he uses different technologies (drones / 2D and 3D animation / photogrammetry / AR / VR) to create moving digital images. He investigates the interface between reality and virtuality and is also looking for the painterly component in the digital context. The Experiment plays a central role.

Eins zu eins
Das Kunstwerk 1:1 wurde als 3D-Ambiente entwickelt, d.h. eine im Raum platzierte 3D-Charakteranimation (3D-Animationsprojektion). Die Animation präsentiert den Schatten einer unsichtbaren virtuellen Figur oder einer virtuellen Figur, die auf der “Gegenseite” der virtuellen Ebene platziert ist. Der Titel des Kunstwerks „1:1“ ist das Symbol für „Vollmaßstab“. Dies bezieht sich auch auf die Beziehung zwischen zwei Entitäten, wie “eins zu eins”.

Performance: Capture Part 2

In “Performance Capture: Part 2”, open source motion capture sequences are mapped onto stock low-polygonal unsmoothed 3D characters. Bodies inflate, deflate and oscillate between states, while movements shift and repeat in offset patterns as information transfers from one body to the next. In the animation, what should be used to record, simulate and create perfect virtual realities instead collapses into the uncanny, the abstract and the unreal.

In early 2011 I was exploring the relations of geometry, nature and the human being in a series of 25 pictures that I called ”Fractal Experience”. This is part two – continuing the exploration of geometric shapes, patterns, and fractals with an added element: space-time. This time I’ve worked in 3D and produced a set of animated looping gif’s.
I’ve limited each animation to at most 48 frames, most are around 10-15 frames – to keep the file size small and to maximize the creativity with in these frames.

Début 2011, j’explorais les relations de la géométrie, de la nature et de l’être humain dans une série de 25 images que j’ai appelées «Expérience fractale». Il s’agit de la deuxième partie – poursuivre l’exploration des formes géométriques, des motifs et des fractales avec un élément supplémentaire: l’espace-temps. Cette fois, j’ai travaillé en 3D et produit un ensemble de gifs en boucle animés.
J’ai limité chaque animation à 48 images au maximum, la plupart se situent entre 10 et 15 images – pour garder la taille du fichier petite et maximiser la créativité avec ces images.

Anfang 2011 untersuchte ich die Beziehungen von Geometrie, Natur und Mensch in einer Serie von 25 Bildern, die ich “Fractal Experience” nannte. Dies ist Teil zwei – Fortsetzung der Erforschung geometrischer Formen, Muster und Fraktale mit einem zusätzlichen Element: Raum-Zeit. Dieses Mal habe ich in 3D gearbeitet und eine Reihe von animierten Loop-Gifs erstellt.
Ich habe jede Animation auf höchstens 48 Bilder beschränkt, die meisten sind etwa 10 bis 15 Bilder – um die Dateigröße klein zu halten und die Kreativität in diesen Bildern zu maximieren.

The Swing

In The Swing, a 3D game avatar becomes Rococo fleshy decadence. In this multi-screen animation, the avatar swings on a seat suspended from the sky, in super Mannerist slow time. Her wooded surroundings ebb and flow at different rate, imitating stop-motion. Years pass in a matter of moments. The avatar is the driver of all of these cycles, but a driver scarcely in control – she is instead, a Mother Nature heading straight for what she suspects might be oblivion. The Swing is a multi channel installation, in nine, five and three screen versions.

Shapeshifter Heartbreaker

Shapeshifter, Heartbreaker, is an installation on two levels composed of sculptural work and 3D computer animations that are both abstract and figurative. On the first level Pakui Hardware has designed an office desk using the typical components of a trading floor. However, this is not a work station for individuals; it is for computer aided trading, non-human activities which are approximated in the three channel videos atop desks noticeably lacking keyboards and mice. These activities often occur at an exceedingly fast pace, in the blink of an eye, an expression that lends its name to a video installed on the second floor. There, the blinks of a humanoid form have been accelerated to illustrate how fast the body would have to consciously react if it were operating at the speed of decision making that resulted in the stock market’s ‘flash crash’ of 2010.

River Under Me
„Eines Tages ging ich über eine Brücke und dachte, ich wünschte, ich könnte nach unten greifen und ein Stück der Wasseroberfläche aufheben und es für immer behalten. Collier arbeitet in ihrem Studio in Sausalito und schnitzt Wasseroberflächen aus Acrylblöcken. Dabei werden Phantasie, Software und Werkzeugmaschinen kombiniert, um Windkreuzungswasser und das daraus resultierende Licht zu erfassen. Ich habe in diesen Jahren nicht sofort damit begonnen, daran zu arbeiten hatte einen Job bei einem Investmentfonds. Aber aus dieser Arbeit wusste ich, dass es möglich ist, Software zu entwickeln, um riesige, turbulente, nichtlineare Datensätze wie Geld zu modellieren… und vielleicht auch Wasser in Bewegung.
Anfang 2008 war ich bereit und kehrte mit voller Wucht zu dieser Idee zurück. Ich verschenkte einen Schrank voller Business-Anzüge und Damenschuhe und begann, mein Studio und meine Fähigkeiten aufzubauen. Ich reiste nach Detroit und fand müßige Maschinisten, die mir das Präzisionsfräsen beibrachten. Ich habe Animation und 3D-Modellierung gelernt. Ich habe mit Materialien experimentiert und eine Farbpalette aus Acrylblock entwickelt. Anstatt Verarbeiter einzustellen, entwickelte ich Methoden und Geräte, um jedes Stück selbst in meinem eigenen Studio herzustellen. Wenn ich jetzt meine fertige Arbeit betrachte, sehe ich Frieden. Starke Emotionen und Turbulenzen haben einen Ruheplatz gefunden. Die Oberfläche ist eine Linse für reines Licht.
