Art through augmented reality by Houda Bakkali

Submitted by Houda Bakkali
“Loving Italy”. The work shows a dual reality without fear of altering the order of things to discover harmonically disordered and dreamlike scenarios, but always conciliatory.

On the one hand, it’s inspired by settings that evoke the splendor of Italy, its festive and fun character, its exuberance, its artistic everyday life, its aesthetic elitism, its intensity and creative excellence, its passions… It’s a visceral and passionate artwork.

On the other hand, this series represents a reflexion about the vicious circles of art nowadays, with its excesses and its vanities. A reflexion about this reality through the ironic image of the  protagonist, always the same. Sometimes funny and other times a slave to its own superficiality, absolutely addicted to itself and to the judgment of others. 

The most relevant value of this series is the technique, based on digital art (collage and illustration), motion graphics  and augmented reality. The augmented reality allows me a symbiosis between the real world and the virtual world through technological devices and platforms. It is a fabulous ally for artists as it gives a new dimension to work. Art comes to life, tells stories, evolves over time, even could include new characters, scenes and make the public an active part of the scene. This is the magic of the digital age. Augmented reality allows creating more complete and complex experiences. Pieces are formed by volume, games of lights and sounds, interactivity, etc. This allows us to create a unique virtual cosmos anywhere. This experience helps artists not go unnoticed. Our work becomes a part of the audience’s memory.

I use it to create stories, to describe the artwork motivations, to  join nature with technology and to invite the public to enjoy a unique experience. It’s the perfect way to introduce the work.

Art Made With Artificial Intelligence by Bridie Hinton

 

Submitted by Bridie Hinton
I moved back to Ireland recently, having lived, worked and studied for over 20 years in London, Paris, Vienna and Boston.

I hope to live a more simple life and connect deeply with what I love. I have always been very arty and at the same time loved mathematics. My background in mathematical modelling and AI has given me the opportunity to bring art and machine learning together.

The branch of AI used in my art has only been viable very recently. Now it is feasible to create palettes of thousands of digital images and blend and re-blend them. What is achieved is often quite stunning, very original and thought provoking. 

At the start of 2021 I finally finished my small art studio and I now have an environment that is creative and inspiring to my art. When I work I feel I am connecting with a part of me I hardly knew, that is now awakening.

I am lucky enough to live in Connemara, on the west coast of Ireland. It is about as far west you can be and still be in Europe. It’s culture, people and landscape are very special.

 

I can see mountains across the bay from my home. In Gaelic they are called Na Beanna Beolathe – but they are better known as the 12 Bens or Pins.

The Atlantic weather changes what I see of them every day and I never get bored of the view.

Ireland is said to have some of the most interesting geology in the world. These peaks have deposits of quartzite formed over 500 million years ago. They often sparkle in the sun.

This print is a small tribute to one of them called Diamond Hill. People who know the Bens well tell me it looks nothing like it. I admire honesty.

 

Black Women in Music by Eva Andzi-Quainoo

Submitted by Eva Andzi-Quainoo
My name is Eva Andzi-Quainoo, I am a  Ghanaian illustrator based in London. I studied animation at London College of Communication, where I developed a keen interest in paper art and illustration. It was with this exposure that I was able to hone in on my skills and I began making handmade unique and vibrant greeting cards.

Fast forward to 2020, when the world stopped and the UK went into lockdown. I finally had time to work on personal projects. I love music and I’m an avid gig-goer, so I decided to put my passions together and create portraits of some of my favourite singers. I had so many artists to choose from, including some I’d seen perform live in the past and others I had plans to see before we went into lockdown.

I really wanted to highlight not just women but black women in music. I picked Lianne La Havas, Kelis, Solange and Ari Lennox. They are all incredibly talented, have a strong sense of style and use their hair as a form of expression. This was something I was very excited to dive into.

The Process
I printed a photo of each artist and traced over them using a Lightbox. I then chose the paper for each component. I traced and cut out each part with a scalpel. Finally I assembled and stuck down all the pieces, very much like a jigsaw. I can’t wait to make more! My aim is to create portraits of all of my favourite singers, bands and musician. I’ve definitely got my work cut out…No pun intended!

Submitted by Yury Skorohod
Hello! My name is Yury Skorohod (Artsc0re), I am a dotwork artist from Minsk, Belarus. The ‘dot’ is an abstract object in space having neither volume, area, length nor any other measurable characteristics. This way, out of nothing, my drawings are getting born.
