TRIANGLE is a motion work which was created for the book ‘Black Material’ which showcases Robert Knoke’s artwork. Curator Jens Karlson asked Onur Senturk to make a short animation and to use Robert Knoke’s black and white artwork as basis for work. The video creates a tense harmony between geometrical forms and organic movements.
Senturk studied traditional painting and figure drawing followed by a traditional animation degree as his BFA. He took part in several international and national collaborative exhibitions with works in both print and time-based media. And recently, he designed and animated “Nokta.” which won him an Honorary Mention award from Prix Ars Electronica in Computer Animation/Film/VFX category.
Whoah! Since we last featured the work of our friend Alex McLeod, he has taken his sonic landscapes to a whole new level. The Toronto based artist creates 3D landscapes using a number of software programs, three or four in total for each artwork. Some programs are good for sculpting, some for fluid simulation others for rendering.
For any locals, he has two solo shows opening soon on August 26th at Angell Gallery (Toronto) and September 3rd at Anno Domini (San Jose).
Muse is an wonderful experimental video by Field that touches on the controversial nature of the internets sharing culture. By using other people’s work in the film they acknowledge the impact of referencing and mimicking on the creative process, while originality, authorship, and crediting remain sensitive topics in a world where images spread like Chinese whispers.
Artists’ sketch- and notebooks have often been searched for insight into the process of inspiration. In a digital age, amidst masses of stunning imagery found online every day, the challenge for creatives is not only to filter and reflect this input, but also to develop a raison d’être, relevance and impact for any new images brought into the world.

The latest short film by Terri Timely explores Synesthesia; a neurologically based phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway. A very visually interesting and surreal work.
