David Myriam is a pluri-disciplinary artist who specializes in sand animation. He uses this technique for animation films, but also works live during events all over the world.
Récession Terminale, (meaning in french something like "final recession"), is his last work, produced by Citron Bien (which produces very interesting animation films, like Paphù vs idols).
You may have notice that the blog's activity has slowed these last weeks and I'm sorry about it, but the launch of my communication studio takes me a lot of time and energy. So I'll try to take advantage of the calm of August to share with you some of my recent discoveries.
It's not already a hot news here in France, but I think that a really great documentary film is about to be launched at the end of the month trough the world. This film, called Samsara, directed by Ron Fricke and produced by Mark Magidson, is the result of 5 years of work through 25 countries. An interactive map, on the film website, shows all the locations with some photographs. Entirely shot in 70mm, the movie is conceived as a kind of guided meditation, a unique audiovisual experience in which only music and images lead the viewer's mind.

A new year just started, the opportunity for me to wish you the best, happiness, health and success. The opportunity to make a little greetings card, I hope you'll find it nice.
For me, this year will be full of new experiences, as I explain in the card. A year which starts in a great way, with a tutorial and an interview published in a special Blog edition of the french editor Oracom.
GOM is a short animation film directed by five students from the french animation school ESMA : Anthony Delliste, Tristan Evin, Maxime Guillemin, Florent Razafimandimby and Alexis Vallauri. The story takes place around a cricus and a central character, GOM, who's got an elastic body which reminds me Luffy from One Piece. Some very nice coloured atmospheres and a fun universe, with a good editing. Voices (it's rare in students animation films) were made by Emmanuel Garijo, Nathalie Homs, et Julien Kramer and the music scored by Isaac Chia. the whole soundtrack was mixed by Jose Vicente and Yoann Poncet from the Studio des aviateurs.

The Adobe Museum of Digital Media opens his brand new virtual exhibition introducing the new project of Mariko Mori. Let's talk a bit about the museum before getting onto the work : the Adobe Museum is a virtual space dedicated to the contemporary digital arts, founded by the famous company one year ago. The museum is built around a 3D space containing several rooms specially designed for each exhibition. The last exhibitions featured artists as Toni Oursler or John Maeda. Currently the new exhibition is conceived by the famous japanese artist Mariko Mori, and it's called "Journey to Seven Light Bay".
More precisely, it's not exactly an exhibition but more a work in progress of a new piece of art, which could be considered both as land art and digital art. it utilises advanced digital technologies to give the piece of art a kind of interactive aspect. The work will be composed of two monumental elements placed into a bay in the island of Okinawa, in Japan. The first element, a transparent pillar, is already installed on a rock. The second one will be a huge spherical installation which will float on the water and change its colour according to the tide. The whole will be placed in order to the shadow of the pillar reaches the sphere on winter solstice. This work is in some way a link : technology meets nature, and prehistoric art (see the megalithic works like Stonehenge) meets contemporary creation.
Jolie Bobine is a short 3D animation film directed by Nicolas Deruy, Sylvain Simao, Samuel Rivière and Stephanie Burnet from an original idea of Alexandra Latour (former students of Bellecour school). The movie is a nice animation work, with a surprising scenario and an interesting editing. A beautiful discovery and designers to keep an eye on.
