Simply gorgeous abstract motion graphics and static work. There really isn't anything I don't like here :)

Form

Beautifully rhythmic animation test created with Trapcode by Rbelion.

Samurai Jazz Quintet

Experimental video created for the Samurai Jazz Quintet by Takafumi Tsuchiya.

Interesting and a little bit chaotic - there's nothing wrong with that though is there ;)

Hippie House

Some really nice techniques displayed in this refreshing showreel.

There's a couple of snippets using abstract forms that are simply gorgeous - sadly they are over far too quickly!

All That Is Solid

Under a violent irruption of forms and structures, everything flows towards a constant evolution. A visual and poetic journey influenced by art, design, architecture and photography.

Delta And Dalek At Elms Lesters

A challenging two man exhibition at the Elms Lesters Painting Rooms. Featuring new work and a site-specific installation by International artists Boris Tellegen (Delta) and James Marshall (Dalek). From the 28th August - 26th September.

I will definitely be attending that...

Pablo Alfieri

A varied selection of new works to view - the strong abstract geometric pieces really stand out to me.

Tron Legacy

It's been a long wait, but finally there's a decent quality version online.

Sadly it won't embed, so you'll have to follow the link...

Science Under Fire

I was pleasantly surprised to find updates to this already solid portfolio. Particularly impressed with the Opera rebranding and the Titan project.

Dark Biwak

Martin Böttger's final degree work in Visual Communication and New Media - impressive! His Flickr sets reveal a lot more beautiful abstract experimentation too...

Maxim Zhestkov

More work of the highest caliber. I think Modal has to be my particular favorite though.

Serial Cut

A new site design is up which forms an elegant backdrop to some nice new projects.

Actop

Inspiring Flickr stream of experimental abstract imagery created in After Effects.

Actop's website is well worth a look too...

Hana Screensaver

Hana screensaver now available for OSX intel.

Hana is a dream about flowers for computers. The idea is that no aspect of creating the flowers is hidden from the computers, everything is created in code and no bitmaps are used that the computer has not seen to the creation of itself, letting the computer "think" through every step.

I've known Andreas for some time now and his work never fails to blow my sock off!

Microsoft Sustainability

Beautifully composed scenarios with some lovely examples of intelligent infographics and human computer interaction.

I'm not a great advocate of Microsoft products but if they start making some of these concepts reality then maybe I might be swayed...

Onyblog

My dear friend and partner in crime Anthony Kyriazis has got a lovely new design blog up and running.

Stoav

Stoav is rocking a cool new site design and some lovely new work.

World Builder

An unknown man builds a world using holographic tools for the woman he loves.

It's refreshing to see something with such a solid and compassionate narrative and so well executed.

Gmunk

Great to see that Gmunk is still rocking work of the highest quality.

It's been a very long time since I saw him last and he hasn't promotes his work in ages.

This Is Now

Beautiful flowing abstract primitives created for Ford by Maxim Zhestkov. Lovely...

Burning Safari

Amazingly action-packed short film. Extremely well executed and with a brilliant sense of humour too...

Lenny JPG

More generative loveliness and abstract experimentation.

Sub 88

Some cool abstract architectural compositions in this well presented personal portfolio.

Words Are Pictures

Some really beautiful typographically led design work in this highly polished portfolio.

Beyond The Fictional Universe

Stylish droid design for a new CG annual (could possibly be Hal's little brother) - created by Antrepo.

They also have a selection of deeply desirable posters and fonts available in their shop.

Platonic Solids

Delicate and highly intricate renders generated using a subtle subdivision process - reminiscent of tiny organic life forms.

Shame about the 'bitty' Flash scaling, but once the presentation has run through you can view the slides individually.

Your Majesty Reel 2008

Gorgeous reel from the boys at Your Majesty - showcasing even more fabulous work.

Your Majesty previously posted here...

Blue Coldesack

The eternal struggle between order and chaos, ending in symbiosis.

I like how it appears more like augmented reality than being seamlessly integrated.

Created by Vladimir Tomin at Spacejump.

36

More gorgeous paste-ups on show by this talented and elusive artist.

Forever

Absolutely stunning generative installation at the V&A Museum by Universal Everything.

Peugeot 3008

Really great to see Zamak's fantastic characters being used commercially. Impressive how much personality they convey.

Don't forget to click the High Quality option in the player - it really makes a big improvement.

Christopher Hewitt

My old friend Chris has relaunched his site with some sterling new pieces of work.

Hoping to see a bit more of him, as bizarrely I discovered he now lives about 100 metres from me!

Chaotic Site

Long overdue update to the Chaotic site - including a re-skin, lots of new images and the addition of the brand new Projects Blog...

Ludo

Natures Revenge - intriguing 3D paste-ups and exterior installations.

Geosound

Visual soundsystems - is it possible to visualise an acoustic composition to detect the system behind?

N6

Wow! Truly inspiring sculptures - they remind me a little of some of my abstract work (except that they're real and not digital!).

Sumeco

New 2007-2008 portfolio. I am especially loving the Study Reel - for first motion experiments it's very impressive :-)

Sumeco previously posted here...

Serial Cut

New updates added to their portfolio - some lovely new work on show!

Delta At Galleri Jonas Kleerup

Just found out that Delta is currently exhibiting some new work at my friend's gallery in Stockhölm.

If you do happen to be in the neighborhood before the 21st December I'm sure it would be well worth dropping in.

Papervision Augmented Reality

Very exciting experiment made with Papervision and Flash by the talented guys at Boffswana.

I had no idea this could be done within Flash now. I can imagine all kinds of applications (especially games) and what if this kind of technology was available on your mobile.

You can try it out yourself by following the link. You need to print out their symbol though for registration, but I got away with just drawing one with a fat black marker!

Robert Seidel

Gorgeous new idents for Channel Five and IdN Magazine - like kinetic liquid paint.

I remember as a kid how you could get something vaguely similar using a saucer of milk, some drops of food colouring then adding one drop of washing up liquid!

Folds In Space

Using plain white, metallic coated or colored paper, beautifully lit and photographed then mirrored until they become aesthetically interesting. Created by Rein Nomm.

So simple in concept - many of these images have a classical or mathematical elegance.

Michael Paul Young

Slick new site that supports a wealth of beautiful abstract 3D work and much more besides...

Concept Ships

Massive resource of high quality concept art, focused primarily on spaceships and experimental aircraft. A fantastic selection of artistic styles and hundreds of links to artist sites.

Shapeways

Want to turn that 3D model into a real object? Look no further than Shapeways 3D printing - seems to be fairly cost effective too...

Truthtag In 3D

Someone anonymously sent me this movie - inspired by Truthtag's cubist/constructivist installations.

Truthtag previously posted here...

Homeworld 2 Concept Art

Stumbled across this collection of concept illustrations for the old game Homeworld 2 (heavily inspired by the legendary Chris Foss). How some of the marker renders convey so loosely the structure and texture of the ships is amazing.

Igarashi Design

Beautiful and unbelievably realistic vehicle design. The quality of the modeling and textures is exceptional - if only they were real!

An old link I only rediscovered a couple of days ago - happy to have found it again...

Tim Muller

Elegant and minimal portfolio for this proficient 3D artist (and it appears - brother of my old friend Tom Muller ). I particularly love the abstract renders in the 3D Playground section.

Pablo Valbuena

Investigating space-time not only as a three dimensional environment, but as space in transformation. Two layers are produced: the physical layer, which controls the real space and shapes the volumetric base that serves as a support for a virtual projected layer that allows control of the transformation and sequentiality of space-time.

Delta Interview

Found this very interesting and insightful two-part interview with Delta (Boris Tellegen).

Richard Sweeney

Richard Sweeney makes things out of paper - amazing things...

Lattico

Lattico provides 3D models of the environment, using photogrammetric technology to collect three-dimensional spatial information. Derived from aerial data, their models are geographically correct, realistic representations of cities.

I've never seen this technology before, but judging by the gallery it looks very interesting. This is what Wikipedia has to say about it: Photogrammetry.

Bambam 131

Incredibly detailed fictitious spacecraft, modelled in Bryce and using NASA and the ESA as a point of reference (which makes them seem all the more believable).

I've used Bryce myself for years and know how difficult it is to attain this level of detail. My only comment would be - maybe the addition of some depth of field to add realism to some of the final renders.

Supashapes

Nice Flickr set of ribbon-based abstracts created with VVVV.

Desaxismundi also has many other interesting sets worth looking through if you've got a bit of spare time.

Beatboxes

Interesting Flickr set of semi-translucent cubic abstracts created with VVVV.

Desaxismundi also has many other interesting sets worth looking through if you've got a bit of spare time.

Nanikawa

This offshoot from Hi-Res have created some stunning work. As far as I'm aware it's still run by the ultra talented Andreas Müller - who I haven't seen for ages. You can see more of his work at Hahakid.

Numbers

New Flickr set from Lenny JPG. Abstract visualisations based on different statistical data from the Russian Federation.

Lenny JPG previously posted here...

Cluster

Wow! Not much more I can say about this - deeply inspiring sculptural work by Martin Böttger.

More Supaformula

Some new updates at Sanch TV - lovely as always, I posted the earlier Supaformula examples almost one year ago to the day!

Twin

Really impressive motion work from this pair of Australian brothers. Two of my favourites are their adverts for Wrigley's Extra (because the characters are extremely cute), and the Nissan Powered Suit series.

Qube Konstrukt

Great portfolio, especially some of the motion graphics - which can be viewed in their current showreel. I particularly like this bit of model making for the Next Wave Festival, it's nice to see people successfully combining traditional and digital skills.

They also have a self-published book called Consort that is available here - I have ordered myself a copy =)

Pablo Alfieri

Nice site with some great new work. I originally posted Pablo's Flickr set back in February and it looks like he's been pretty busy since then.

Suprb

New design for Andreas Pihlström's portfolio site - straight forward interface packed with solid design work!

Sebastien Cannone

Stunning showreel with some amazingly complex graffiti inspired elements - a must see!

Curt Blog

Discovered this blog - I hope they add to it regularly.

I posted their showreel some time ago, but they've updated their site and it's well worth another look.

The Holograms

The Holograms have some new work on show - and it's extremely good! Their MTV Bloom Ident reminds me of Truthtag's work a bit, but even better - it's animated.

36

Interesting Flickr sets of paste-up work and sculptures, some with a strong architectural/blueprint theme.

Zamak

Captivating and extremely stylised character design. Some of the concepts are beautiful in their simplicity - using only primitive objects to build complex models. Be sure to check out the larger renders in the Flash site.

Science Under Fire

I haven't visited here since the launch of the second version site, there's some slick new work on display and a new blog too. I'm very curious about the Titan project - looks interesting...

Gkaster Showreel 2008

Exceptional showreel and portfolio, a beautifully designed and well implemented site too.

Delta Solo Show

First UK solo exhibition by one of the pioneer of the European graffiti movement, Delta, at the Elms Lesters Painting Rooms. Open from June 6th - June 28th.

Delta is renowned for his complex three dimensional styles and visually spectacular, architecturally structured lettering.

Truthtag

Artist who creates cubist/constructivist installations using coloured polystyrene blocks. Some stand starkly against their backdrop and others seems to blend organically into the surroundings.

Tim Borgmann

Insanely detailed and highly emotive abstracts. The various liquids that seem 'caught in time' are so realistically rendered - it's amazing.

Onyro

Bit of a late post, but my old partner in crime Anthony Kyriazis has a temporary site up - a well executed showcase of the work they've been doing recently and all in the Onyro style we know and love.

Ascend

Some elegantly composed abstracts in the portfolio of Ari Weinkle.

Damian Czarnota

There are a couple of really impressive illustrations in this straight forward portfolio site.

Maxim Zhestkov

Amazingly detailed and highly emotive monochrome 3D work. Maxim's Flickr photos are well worth a look too.

Metaconfigurator

Discovered this Flickr set - lots of lovely 3D abstractions, created by Kristopher Collins.

Umps Unzin

Discovered this piece while searching Vimeo, created by Depart.

Magnetosphere

Found another beautiful piece created in Processing by Flight 404. Again, I recommend following the link and watching the high quality quicktime version.

Solar With Lyrics

Captivating, almost astrological visuals - created in Processing by the ever-talented Flight 404. I recommend following the link and watching the HD version.

Broken Circles

Discovered this Flickr group - loads of interesting circle-based generative compositions from various artists.

Minimalabs

Some very nice abstracts, especially the ones that have been hand composed as vector art.

Spam Architecture

These images are generated by a computer program that accepts as input, junk email. Various patterns, keywords and rhythms found in the text are translated into three-dimensional modeling gestures. Gorgeously rendered representations too...

Extrusions In C Major

An experiment in music visualization. The composition used for these images is the Trio C-Major by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

The branching forms and applied perspective are reminiscent to me of wildstyle graffiti.

The Royal Magazine

The Royal Magazine is the private journal of The KDU. The publication focuses on collisions, culture and capitalism and is packed with fantastic imagery.

Xtrabold - Nelson Balaban

Strikingly detailed abstract illustration and experiments, demonstrating a deep understanding of colour and composition.

MK12

I watched the Kite Runner at the weekend and was completely captivated by the fluid beauty of the intro credits (they are not online yet unfortunately). It didn't come as too much of a surprise to discover that they had been produced by MK12.

I remember some years ago at Kioken, how completely blown away we were when we saw the two MK12 movies above. We went on to experiment with our own pseudo 3D effects - firstly using Combustion and then After Effects . It's a widely used effect now, but they are still incredible, so I thought I would post them.

Théo Gènnitsakis

Solid portfolio with some great illustration, I believe he used to work with my old business partner Anthony Kyriazis (Onyro).

Arne & Carlos

Truly engaging and beautifully surreal dreamscapes for this fashion label.

Delta

The grand master of constructivist graffiti has updated his site with some lovely new work and photos.

Mato Atom

Visually stunning and stylistically varied examples from the portfolio of Mato Atom.

Lenny JPG

Lots of beautiful abstract experiments created in Processing, VVVV or plain old 3D.

Mark Coleran

Very slick screen, interface and motion graphic design for television and film. I want to get into this area myself as I do an awful lot of interface design for future services and abstracting it would be a great deal of fun.

Flight 404 Blog

Beautiful and insanely complex Processing experiments.

Mobbit Systems - Merry Christmas

Simple and elegant, with some stylistically beautiful elements.

Sumeco

Some lovely abstract experiments, illustrations and typographical treatments.

Dave Bollinger

Various abstract experiments in here, some stunning images - I advise having a thorough look through!

Papervision 3D 2007 Showreel

Mind-blowing 3D plugin for Flash, only wish we had had this kind of stuff back in the day - we had to program it by hand, and it was absolutely nothing like this good!
