Today we are featuring two videos of interesting design projects by Blik licensed artists: Ilan Dei and Saelee Oh with Eric Nakamura of Giant Robot. In addition to creating a line of decals for Blik, these artists have loads of other cool stuff going on.
Water Ripple Fireplace by Ilan Dei Studio
Inspired by the always changing surfaces and textures of water, Ilan Dei created this private residence fireplace to capture the same interplay of light and shadows that you see in smooth water ripples. The video documents the process from the initial sketches, through 3D modeling in Rhino, to building the finished fireplace using 3D milling, fiberglass molding and plaster as the finished material.
Scion Installation 6 Video: Eric Nakamura & Saelee Oh Interview
Saelee Oh and Eric Nakamura discuss their animated paper art video piece that is currently featured in Scion’s Installation 6: Video national art tour. They give great insight into how they painstakingly created their short – lots of freestyle scissor work, late nights, a little complaining and of course, fun. The Scion Installation 6: video national art tour heads next to Minneapolis opening on Friday, May 7 at the Pink Hobo.
Now in its 6th year, this revolutionary art tour is designed to expose established and emerging artists and their work to audiences across the country. “Installation 6: Video” challenged 10 artists to create non-narrative video installations that will eventually transform five unique exhibitions around the country.
