Featured Work From The Gallery: Week 13

You may have noticed our new online Gallery. It’s a place where creative professionals can showcase their portfolio of work, gain exposure, build their network, find collaborators, and become eligible for funding opportunities like The Studio. It’s also a place where fans of cutting edge creative work can 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.

Hubris: Bricks Do Not Float

Hubris’ visuals for Portuguese musician Tamuz are a little trippy and definitely NSFEpileptics. Skulls and various anatomy, juxtaposed with scenery passing from outside a car window—with a mirroring effect mixed in—create a psychedelic and slightly dark mood that complements the music. The layering, especially the lines and zig-zags throughout, and the quickly changing imagery create a complex and captivating visual field.

Kim Pimmel: Light Studies

The neon forms penetrating pitch black backgrounds in Kim Pimmel’s Light Studies were created by photographing handheld and computer-generated lights in long exposure. He paints using light, creating abstract shapes that shoot, bend or float in space, capturing the ephemeral essence of light in darkness. The foray into incorporating naturalistic backgrounds further explores the dichotomy between the ethereal, the tenuously artificial and the enduring natural.

Christine Daniloff: 9/11 Animation

Christine Daniloff‘s animation commemorating the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks shows the inverted silhouettes of the towers, with clouds passing through the space where they once were. The graphic doesn’t address any tragedy or anger, rather it conveys a melancholy nostalgia for the iconic part of the lost New York skyline. The clouds floating gently by show that its memory lives on while the world keeps spinning. It reminds us of another recently featured project, Brian August’s Augmented Reality App, which superimposes the outline of the towers where they once stood so you can always carry their memory in your pocket.
