Mind Games: The Cerebral Art of Don Bergland

Last Modified January 4, 2019 Leave a Comment

Editors note: Don Bergland is an artist creating surreal work using computer graphics as his paintbrush. The "uncanny valley" effect is in full view in Bergland's work, making the work even more surreal. The uncanny valley is a hypothesis in the field of aesthetics which holds that when features look and move almost, but not exactly, like natural beings, it causes a response of revulsion among … [Read more...] about Mind Games: The Cerebral Art of Don Bergland

Stills About Scales Scales is a project born from a dialogue between photographer Nicola Spadafranca and a sound designer Enrico Nicola Cascavilla.

Jarek Kubicki Digital Paintings

Last Modified September 19, 2016 Leave a Comment

The Invisible Empire by Juha Arvid Helminen

Woman with pointy head in all black in black room

The Invisible Empire series by Juha Arvid Helminen depicts figures of authority in all black, against dark or black landscapes with their faces obscured.  The series revels in darkness, anonymity and brutality. I've had an irrational fear of the potential that "the crowd" become (in experiences as mundane as a sports game) since I was young. A few years ago I spent some time in Istanbul when the … [Read more...] about The Invisible Empire by Juha Arvid Helminen
