Whether through breaking, shattering, burning, or reconfiguring frames, Andrew brings the subjects in his artwork to life. By breaking the fourth wall and making the frame part of the artwork itself, Andrew continually bends artistic convention in new and surprising ways.

Samuel Jerome Mason is a visual artist and director based in Brooklyn, working across animation, live action, and mixed media. His work weaves narratives through tangible dreamworlds using both 3D and traditional filmmaking.
One of my all time favorite designers, artists (and tweeters) is Martin-H AKA WeFAIL. He’s being making some amazingly gruesome but very impactful and provacative art.
Maggie Chiang (@mcmintea) is a Taiwanese American full time artist and part time dreamer. Inspired by both places real and fictitious Maggie's illustrations evoke a longing for adventure and the pursuit of the unknown, exploring impossible landscapes and places unseen. A central theme of her art is the relationship between humanity and nature, oftentimes the underlying thread that ties together her work and establishes her individual artistic voice.
Murat Yıldırım is an incredible art director and designer from Istanbul and chose to reproduce the world's most famous paintings by imitation. In this abstract idea, he used furs as a creative tool to move world-famous paintings forward. With this effect, he combined the colors of all pictures in an innovative and vibrant way. He had been impressed by classical paintings since my childhood. However, since modern art has become digital, he turned all this into my favorite 3D artwork.
Chung's work explores the mark-made-by-hand and the mark-made-by-machine as an approach to understanding the dynamics of humans and systems. Chung is a former research fellow at MIT’s Media Lab and a pioneer in the field of human-machine collaboration.
Her speculative critical practice spans performance, installation, and drawings which have been featured in numerous exhibitions at museums and galleries around the world.
The passage of time affects everybody but rarely do we reflect on what this means. Japanese artist Nobuhiro Nakanishi created a collection of images taken over a period of time on subjects ranging from the natural world to mundane everyday events. These images are printed onto transparent film which are then arranged next to each other on their sides so that viewers can see through them. This creates a poetic effect of events unfolding in front of your eyes, albeit with spaces in between, inviting viewers to fill in the gaps with their imagination. An inspiringly beautiful and contemplative work of art.
A 2.0 museum experience in honor of Wassily Kandinsky and other contemporary artists who find inspiration in the abstract art of Kandinsky.
Olafur Eliasson’s art is driven by his interests in perception, movement, embodied experience, and feelings of self. Eliasson strives to make the concerns of art relevant to society at large. Art, for him, is a crucial means for turning thinking into doing in the world.
Eliasson’s diverse works – in sculpture, painting, photography, film, and installations – have been exhibited widely throughout the world. Not limited to the confines of the museum and gallery, his practice engages the broader public sphere through architectural projects and interventions in civic space.
Saraceno’s multidisciplinary artistic practice takes inspiration from a variety of sources ranging from architecture and space exploration to science fiction and geometries found in the biological sciences. Among these subjects, Saraceno has long included arachnology as a tool for the investigation of alternative constructions, forming the basis for recent exhibitions.
Like Droplets along the Strands of a Spider’s Web. For Saraceno, spider webs spark inquiry into possible modes to redefine relationships between humans and nature, proposing utopian conditions for sustainable societies. Entering into Saraceno’s installation on the ground floor of Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, perception is reoriented in a darkened environment dotted with glowing sculptures articulated in silvery spider silk. Formed of complex interwoven geometries suspended in air, each piece appears as a unique galaxy floating within an expansive, infinite landscape.
Kohei NAWA is the Director of “SANDWICH,” a creative platform for production established in 2009 in Fushimi, Kyoto.
Small bubbles (cells) continue to form on the surface of a gently lapsing liquid. They accumulate to form an autonomous structure comprised of foam. Each bubble cannot escape the cycle of birth and destruction, which is not unlike the way our cells operate as they metabolize and circulate.
The re-activation of an industrial warehouse as part of Adelaide’s burgeoning arts scene has resulted in this dynamic installation, a three-dimensional drawing. Leanne Amodeo reports.
Sam Songailo intended to invest his installation with a sense of reflection and calm, and he succeeds. But any suggestion Zen Garden is solely concerned with nature and meditation is inaccurate. There’s an inherent grittiness in Songailo’s line work; it acts as a reminder that this space is actually anything but a Zen garden.
Created by TeamLab in Japan, where people can walk into the water and the movement of the koi is influenced by the presence of people in the water and also other koi. When the fish collide with people they turn into flowers and scatter. The trajectory of the koi is determined by the presence of people and these trajectories trace lines on the surface of the water.
The work is rendered in real time by a computer program, it is neither a pre-recorded animation nor on loop. The interaction between the viewer and the installation causes continuous change in the artwork. Previous visual states can never be replicated, and will never reoccur.
Stephen Knapp has been making work that is transformed by light for over thirty years, producing vibrant light installations he refers to as paintings. These large-scale works utilize minimal tools, harnessing simply light and dichroic glass to throw a multitude of colors against the walls and room.
The installations are not sketched out beforehand or programmed by computer, but rather created during the installation process as Knapp moves intuitively to choreograph his intricate light patterns.

Media artist Akinori Goto designed this fun 3d-printed zoetrope that when lit from the side reveals dancing or walking people. The piece was just on view at the Spiral Independent Creators Festival where it won both the Runner-up Grand Prix and the Audience Award. Video above from Tokyo Art Beat. (via Prosthetic Knowledge)
Losing Myself is the Irish entry to the Biennale Architettura 2016. The project is a a puzzling projection that simulates what it’s like to live with dementia and shows the contrast between the architect's intention for a building and its subsequent inhabitation.
"The title of our project, ‘Losing Myself’ is drawn from the principle that architects have a responsibility in our designs to imagine the experiences of others. We have tried to develop a process of drawing through which we can imaginatively inhabit the minds of people with dementia, whose view of the world is not immediately clear to us. The drawing presents the fragmented and overlapping perceptions of people with dementia, rather than a representation of the building as a static architectural object. The installation imagines the ways in which dementia might affect an individual’s ability to synthesise and navigate their environment, based upon our observations and our conversations with experts and people with personal experience of the condition."
