The Countdown of Eternity

Artist Unknwon, (The Countdown of Eternity), Computer Graphics, Animation Gifs

“For the Present is the point at which time touches eternity.

The Future is, of all things, the thing least like eternity. It is the most temporal part of time–for the Past is frozen and no longer flows, and the Present is all lit up with eternal rays.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

“I have an idea that the only thing which makes it possible to regard this world we live in without disgust is the beauty which now and then men create out of the chaos. The pictures they paint, the music they compose, the books they write, and the lives they lead. Of all these the richest in beauty is the beautiful life. That is the perfect work of art.”

W. Somerset Maugham, The Painted Veil

Storm at Sea

Artist Unknown, Title Unknown, (Storm at Sea), Computer Graphics, Animation Gifs

“Let me only say that it fared well with him as with the storm-tossed ship the miserably drives along the leeward land. The port would fain give succor; the port is pitiful; in the port is safety, comfort, hearthstone, supper, warm blankets, friends, all that’s kind to our mortalities. But in that gale, the port, the land, is that ship’s direst jeopardy; she must fly all hospitality; one touch of lan, though it but graze the keel, would make her shudder through and through. With all her might she crowds all sanil off shore; in so doing, fight gainst the very winds that fain would blow her homeward; seeks all the lashed sea’s landlessnesss again; for refuge’s sake forlornly rushing into peril; her only friend her bitterest foe!”

–Herman Melville, Moby Dick, or The Whale

Matthieu Bourel

Matthieu Bourel, “Education / Formatting”, 2016, Animated Version

Matthieu Bourel is a German collage and digital artist whose work veers uneasily from nostalgia to technological dystopia. Bourel combines traditional cut and paste collage techniques with digital editing, digital animation, and even sound design to create a body of work that blurs the distinction between illustration, graphic design and art installation.

Bourel describes his work as “data-ism” and the reference to the original Dada movement of the early twentieth century is more than a play on words. Like his Dadaist precursors, Bourel delights in creating shocking juxtapositions, ironic distance and high-brow/low-brow mash-ups.

Gustavo Spredemann and Leone Simonetti

Beautiful Natural Abstractions from Protobacillus

Protobacillus is an art project by Gustavo Spredemann and Leone Simonetti, two Brazilian graphic designers/artists. We create abstract animations that take inspiration from nature and digital media. The unique result of this collaboration ranges from organic to psychedelic, or a combination of both.
