Featured Works From The Gallery: Week 31

Our new online Gallery provides creative professionals a platform to showcase their portfolio of work, gain exposure, build their network, find collaborators, and become eligible for funding opportunities like The Studio. The Gallery also helps fans of cutting edge creative work to discover new artists and inspiring projects. Each week we’ll be selecting a few of our favorites and bringing you the best of what The Creators Project community has to offer. To have your work featured, submit your tech-powered projects to the Gallery.

Gabriel Sousa and Thaigo Storino: The Mystery Machine

Gabriel Sousa and Thaigo Storino walked us through the making-of their own tribute portrait to the famous cartoon shaggin’ wagon—Scooby Doo’s Mystery Machine. Using 3D modeling and other post production software they created an original scene, illustrating the step-by-step process on the project’s site. Using 3D modeling software, Sousa built the bare-boned van before Storino went in and added the rest of the visual stimulation, adjusting color, graphics and collaging together the jungle/forest background. Overall, it’s an instructive piece that pulls off the mask behind its creation.

Emmet Feldman: Laser Cave

Emmet Feldman’s Laser Cave, an audiovisual sculpture currently at the Gray Area Foundation for the Arts in San Francisco, is a interactive “game” of sorts consisting of reflective and refractive light projection mapped onto a cluster of triangulated towers. Users can manipulate the control pad, painting their own patterns and consequently changing the soundtrack. The music varies from funky Michael Jackson-esque beats to the echo of outer space (or whatever you imagine that would sound like).

Yovcho Gorchev: 3D Printing Shipyard

Narrative driven designer, Yovcho Gorchev, has released yet another one of his imaginative design prototypes. Previously he’s augmented faces and cooked up some speculative body mods, but his most recent project, 3D Printing Shipyard, might be his most impressive so far. The renders of the 3D-printed shipyard images are eerie and surrealistic, depicting a shipping yard that’s completely been built from a machine. We wonder what that would look like, and better yet, how long it would take to build? I suppose we’ll have to see if 2012 is the year for 3D printing.
