Utopia Conjuring Therapy, Saya Woolfalk, 2012.
“Through the use of psychedelically-colored exhibits, scientific slide shows, dance performances, and a very multi-disciplinary artistic practice, Woolfalk is learning how to use art shows to create utopian worlds in and of themselves.”
“Artist and photographer Erdal Inci has create a hypnotic series of gifs that takes the concept of cloned motion to a truly eerie level. Often using images of himself in mundane situation, Inci transforms simple snapshots to entrancing video loops."
The Sound of Taste, a video by Grey London, is an amazing showcase of the power of herbs and spices from Schwartz Flavor Shots. We can talk about how mesmerizing this is.
Photographer Randy Scott Slavin uses a GoPro and a drone to show us New York City from up top.
Bell & Howell Filmo No. 75, 16mm film camera, circa 1927.
Robert Capa filming during the Spanish Civil War.
CGI piece done by digital artist Alan Warburton. It’s for a series called Spherical Memories.
“It is a hermetically sealed fantasy, full of digitally created memories, counterfeit physics and controlled accidents. A place where reality fails because it’s too perfect, and where spectacular CGI setpieces are replaced with more introverted and complex fantasies - fantasies of the digital-artist-as-god, lost in uncanny valley.”
Be An Artist, Right Now!
“Art is the ultimate goal. It saves our souls and makes us live happily.”
I’d love to share this amazing and inspirational TED Talk with all you artists and non-artists out there. Korean author Young-ha Kim discusses why we stop creating and how we can start creating again.
This can perhaps help you kick start the motivation you need to keep up your artistic endeavors. We all need it sometimes. I lost my artistic ambitions after graduating art school and it took me a year or so to get it back. I wish I had found this video at the time-it makes me sad to know I wasted a year of potential.
Be an Artist, Right Now
