SUBSTANCE/ A MOVING IMAGE COMMISSION

A 10 minute audio visual animation made in Houdini. 'Substance' is inspired by fluid dynamics and systems in nature. The visual narrative uses procedural techniques to create models. The result is complex organic forms emerging from matter. The music was composed in tandem with the visuals.

SUBSTANCE

It is an abstract look at the process behind substances as living artworks, colorful matter inspired by coral polyps and molecular anatomy. Watch and explore the audio-visual storytelling of these fluid forms as they emerge from their smallest denominators in search of greater form. Procedural techniques give these brightly animated substances its complexity and uniqueness.

DUALITY: A DOLBY ART SERIES COMMISSION

The artwork Duality was commissioned by Dolby Art Series. The Dolby Art Series is a collaboration with 22 international artists and design studios. Each artwork is inspired by the two half circles of Dolby’s iconic logo mark.’Duality’ explores Creative Director, Nawratil’s interest in simulating natural systems in digital form.

Using a procedural workflow allowed him to illustrate the inner workings of nature and create a beautiful symbiosis of brightly colored sculpted particles. Final artwork submission was a 60″x 60″ high resolution rendering. At the closing of the series, the piece was reproduced and exhibited in a collective gallery show at San Francisco Design Week .
