A World of Wonders

"When you stand among the handiwork of teamLab, a Japanese tech art studio, you’re seemingly transported to a sprawling foreign land that engulfs you in a vibrant, light-filled splendor. This immersive approach is now the focus of a massive exhibition that spans 3,000 square meters (over 32,000 square feet) and is called DMM.Planets Art by teamLab. It showcases a variety of the group’s digital work throughout the years, including new pieces just revealed to the public.

The exhibition features four spaces that offer kaleidoscopic colour schemes and multi-sensory activities. Each piece has its own distinct smell, including: the aroma of flowers, a forest, and “the universe”—a scent that astronaut Naoko Yamazaki helped create."

There is No Planet B

4-7 July, London

On July 4th, Digital Decade’s annual art collaboration kicks off at the Underdog Gallery in London. This year’s exhibit, “There is No Planet B”, features the work of international digital artists who address the economic, social, political, and environmental problems we face by imagining a world without them.

Using their talent for photo manipulation and glitch art - the purposeful corruption of data within a digital file to create distorted yet aesthetic effects - 25 invited artists and 2 winners of The Open Call contest come together to “Imagine there’s no… climate change, human aggression, war”, and more.

Curated by Arseny Vesnin from Designcollector Network, with help from Curioos, YOUTH Worldwide, and Depositphotos, the artworks will be featured on large aluminum prints until July 6th.

The Digital Decade 2016: Winners and Artists

With a lot of efforts from the team of Digital Decade and the best artists ever we are getting close to our London's exhibition happening in July 4-6 at Underdog Gallery.

The Digital Decade is the annual art collaboration run by Designcollector and partners started at OFFF Festival in 2013. The collaboration has 2 Phases and a resulting event.

• 1st Phase - we invite 20+ curated artists to warm up the event and create their works.

• 2nd Phase - we invite everyone to take part in Open Contest and having a large jury board we select the best one and give the exposure and prizes.

This year we worked closely with 25 Artists for the 1st Phase and welcomed 100 Applicants on the 2nd Phase. The "Digital Decade 4" got more than 30 Artworks from Open Contest and judges selected 1 Winner and 1 Special Selection this time. With the great help of Depositphotos we secured the resulting event at London's Underdog Art Gallery and with the help of team behind YouthWorldWide we are going to heat up this place for 3 days in July.

For now we would like to thank everyone involved it to our cause and happy to announce the winners of the 4th Annual Digital Art Open Contest "There is no planet B". These 2 persons will join the group show of merely 30 selected artworks created by artists that took a great challenge to Imagine Our Own Planet without shit happening today.

Trimarchi 2015 Design Festival

Designcollector is happy to announce new media partnership with the largest Design festival in South America and one of the biggest in the world - TRIMARCHI. Happening in Buenos Aires during "Argentinian Spring" on September 25-27, festival gathers a stadium of creative minds soaking the atmosphere brought by world leading speakers. We believe that our new partnership with Trimarchi Festival bring you a lot of interesting news and collaborations.Book your challenging experience with a chance to enjoy Buenos Aires in "spring" with TRIMARCHI.

For fifteen years in a row, we've gathered the biggest community of restless creatures in Latin America in a stadium. Thousands of designers, photographers, publicists, architects, anthropologists, design-inquisitors, illustrators and musicians get together to think, debate and celebrate. This ritual has become a means of operation, a considered action, a form of joy. The connexion to the little darling is unavoidable. But what is design's little darling? Inspiration? A line on a blank sheet? A geometric shape? The reticule? Composition?

We are surrounded by little darlings which help us believe in what we do; confidence, and structure our plans; projection. Little muses that constantly whisper in our ear the steps we must take; those moments plagued with ideas, lights, inspirations.

The classic crossroad of design after the starting point; the Problem. And above it all, her, with her steps floating over neurons; the Solution, dressed in graphite, nodes or ink scattered on a sketch book. And this year, we're gonna celebrate her sweet 15!
