Epi2mik viral street art

28 Mar

Here is a montage of a French guy, Thierry Olivier aka Epi2mik, a street artist from Caen (FR),

Epi2mik has his own psychedelism in his way of painting, a kind of organic urban gangrene, investing the streets and the street furniture…as a pictural virus could invite itself in our vision, sometimes…!

” For me, this symbolizes all the negative things that our generation lives: AIDS, unemployment, corruption, increase of extremism, the downhill of capitalism….and so on. The city is my framework, I try to promote damaged places, disused places to realize these compositions which are like warning for the citizen…”

At the opposite of graffers, Epi2mik does not use aerosol. With a brush and water paint, he composes these short-lived urban pictures that rain will erase…

Liquid light while you’re sleeping at night.

X-Peri-Mental (Vol. 1)

14 Mar

X-Peri-Mental?
Losing all perceptions of reality.
Swimming in a comfortable world, fluffy and foggy, the sequence of gestures, movements and situations taking place not in slow motion, but rather appearing illuminated by brief flashes of light as regular and as a result of a strobe unit in this excessive and dazzling moment, the music filling all space, seeming to accumulate in an opaque and solid mass, then diluting in color, sound waves and visual impressions becoming indistinguishable, based blocks of concrete materiality, almost rough, space and time turning confused, inextricably mingled in a kind of furious and informs matter, all of the blurred perceptions sinking into a deep obfuscation..
A total blackout.
And waking up without remembering anything, emerging suddenly from a deep sleep without dreams.

X-Peri-Mental!

Matthew Dear vs. Morgan Beringer

7 Feb

Morgan Beringer visualizes the music of Matthew Dear with amazing results. Apparently shots of liquid were mixed/layered with themselves and other footage using masks. Even the emboss filter effect works in this, it’s like liquid frost on a surface.

Omodaka

13 Jan


Omodaka (also known as Far East Recording) is a Japanese collective of visual artists and musicians. Their multimedia projects fuse traditional Japanese music, electronic elements, animation, motion graphics, and visual art pieces. Their video Asadoya Yunta (above) juxtaposes calligraphy with computer animation, contrasting various dimensions: 2d versus 3d, curvilinear versus rectilinear, organic versus synthetic. The video below, for Hietsuki Bushi, is a psychedelic animation that is as vibrant as the music that accompanies it. I have no clue what it’s about though.


PRESS + by Benjamin Ducroz

Benjamin did some 3D animations, printed them out and messed around with the prints with watercolours and stuff. Sure makes that CGI look lots more organic.
