An entrancing short film by designer and artist Rus Khasanov (previously) fuses multiple optical tricks into a single work.

“The hypnotic footage utilizes pareidolia—the inclination to see an object where it physically doesn’t exist—while referencing heterochromia iridum, a fairly common condition in which a person’s irises are multi-colored, sometimes in the forms of spikes radiating around the pupil or swirls that split the tissue with different hues. Khasanov’s rendition mimics that phenomenon through saturated droplets and innumerable veins that plume outward.” via Colossal

@edgarinvoker

Saint-Petersburg, Russia based artist Edgar Invoker creates quite surreal and experimental artworks by mixing digital tools with airbrush, monotype, liquid acrylic, masking. Practicing techniques contributing to lucid dreaming, he fixes the experience and understanding in the form of paintings. The main technique is to create an abstract form in the form of a blot or a paint print, followed by a "manifestation" of a specific image using a set of techniques.

@stuartlangfield

An immersive sci-fi short by writer-director Stuart Langfield. “Loop” centres around a reclusive former tech CEO’s quest to teach AI how to experience and process true human emotions. However these ’emotion experiments’ involve a series of scripted scenarios that seem to do more to call basic humanity into question as the film blurs the lines between drama and sci-fi, human and machine, real and artificial.

“Loop is an artistic exploration of a simple hypothesis: emotion cannot be programmed, it must be felt and experienced to be real. I started exploring this concept while observing my young son discover and display new emotions through his own direct experience and contact with others. He was learning to process the feelings of anger, joy, disappointment, sadness, and I found this progression of maturity fascinating and insightful. I started to question whether replicating an emotive incident could result in a similar reaction every time and, if so, could we program a machine to feel?”

“In coherence with the same artistic theme that I have been developing, I wanted to show the contrast of aesthetic ideals, how the concept of beauty has changed and shaped society.
As always I enjoy playing the game representing the contrast between the classical ideals of beauty and the contemporary ‘anti-aesthetic’ of the world of urban hip-hop and graffiti culture.”

@elmgreenanddragsetstudio

Artists Elmgreen & Dragset’s share The Hive, a new and permanent installation affixed to the ceiling of Moynihan Train Hall in New York City’s Pennsylvania Station, the busiest transportation hub in North America. The work is based on “City in the Sky” installation on the view at Gallery Perrotin.

Both City in the Sky and The Hive — produced only one year apart — manifest an imaginary city in the form of a scaled model, installed upside-down. With technological precision, this cityscape captures the multiplicity and synergy of the world’s metropolises. It is a kaleidoscopic installation, consisting of a dense network of illuminated skyscrapers and modern tower buildings, both real and fictional.

“"Sculptor Tung Ming-Chin carves wood into figurative shapes that seem to press against the surface of the finished work. In “Inner Turmoil” a face and hands are trapped inside a hunk of wood that has the smooth, stretched appearance of fabric, and in “Breath”, the rounded spine and feet of a crouched figure expand outside the confines of a stiff white box. Tung was born in Changhua, Taiwan, and received both his BFA and MFA from Taipei National University of the Arts.”

@azamatakhmadbaev

Digital Decade resident, artist Azamat Akhmadbaev dropped a personal release on Sedition Art Platform, London.

MCR_XPRMNT+SND

This series of video artworks is a metaphysical trip to another reality between our vision and perception. In accordance with the postulates of postmodernism and legacy of Derrida, the artist plays with the language of color, providing the opportunity to rethink our links with the current world through kitsch and low fidelity. Macro video recording and experimental sounds in videos are 'entry points' to the new stage of postmodernism where a viewer can melt a metaphysical body and disappear to leave marks in the internal world.

The collection name is derived from the words "macro", "experiment" and "sound".

WARNING: These videos have been identified to potentially trigger seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy. Viewer discretion is advised.
