Digital art at the Russian Creative Week

Kirill Chirkov is a Moscow-based digital artist who creates immersive animations that transport viewers into parallel worlds. One of Kirill's main missions is to take digital art beyond the confines of device screens and integrate it into urban environments and popular culture.

The concept of the digital sneaker collection for metaverses flirts with popular culture and pays tribute to the sneakerhead movement.

Olga Gladilova and Vitaliy Grishchuk joined forces to create a collaborative digital piece. This artwork is a vivid example of postmodernist philosophy that reflects complex social and political issues of our time.

The main idea of the artwork is to depict the true position of women in modern society. The image of the main heroine confidently moving forward in an elegant dress with warrior-like accessories symbolizes the strength of women in our time.

Their significance, the desire to create and grow while protecting themselves, their rights, and their freedoms. However, the equally important element is the heads of men watching the movements of the heroine. This reflects the complexity of gender relations and the need to change established stereotypes and roles.
The artwork reflects the postmodernist concept that every individual deserves equality and freedom, regardless of gender, race, or social status. It is an important step in the fight for social justice and equality in our society.

Olga is a digital and physical clothing designer. She creates her own brand of digital clothing and accessories called 19G. Vitaliy has been working in the design field for seven years. He has a rich background in costume and fabric design, with four years of successful experience in this field. However, he has always been interested in the 3D direction, so he decided to take courses at the Isaev Workshop. Since then, he has been working at STATE OF MIND for two years, creating unique projects. In addition, he actively works on independent projects.

Tony D - диджитал художник, родом из Казахстана, который пришел в цифровую моду и 3D, изучая фэшн-дизайн.

Tony D is a digital artist from Kazakhstan who transitioned into digital fashion and 3D through fashion design studies. The artwork "JENIMPAZ" explores the theme of duality, where masculine masculinity blends with the continuity of my people's traditions and their integration into the modern world. The artwork is imbued with my life background in Kazakhstan, where nature is so diverse that you can immediately see how sand dunes and steppes coexist with mountains and snow, and patriarchal, established visions interact with the realities and trends of the new world.

Through this metaphor, I wanted to reflect how modern men's fashion undergoes a blending of identity and sexuality, connecting this process with the mentality of my roots.

Hello! My name is Dinara. I came into the world of 3D from architecture, and it greatly helps me find interesting compositional solutions. For the Russian Creative Week, I chose works that showcase symmetry and organic forms, reflecting the beauty of natural elements.

Through my designs, I strive to provide people with the opportunity to express themselves and connect with nature in a unique and innovative way.

This artwork was inspired by the album Chromatica. The rhythmic sounds of the music are depicted in the repetitive pattern of folds and the costume's shape, while references to the main theme, the planet Chromatica, are expressed through the color combination of the costumes. Additionally, the muscular architecture, lighting, and figurative element behind the costume allude to the concert tour that was associated with the album.

The project and collection are reflections on the influence of virtuality on the physical world through the means of information fixation. It explores the duality of life in the virtual and real dimensions. It is no secret that on the black market, valuable goods are databases of online purchases, which are sought after by major brands, companies, and holdings for consumer analytics. In addition, in Moscow, a system with neural networks and video cameras is being introduced to monitor people's behavior during shopping.

After analyzing the collected data, a supervisor will rearrange the shelves based on the neural network's recommendations. All of this led to the thought of the excessive fixation of information traces at present.

Regarding the techniques used in the collection: asymmetrical cuts serve as a reference to the dichotomy of virtual and real life, while body protection elements like long sleeves, high collars, and leg warmers demonstrate vulnerability through exposed skin and long side slits.

I want to specifically mention the print. The main character for the collection is a flamingo with a surveillance camera instead of a head from the project "Digital Guardian: Do You WATCH?" by media artist Petr Elgisser. With the artist's permission, I used his artworks to train a neural network called Stable Diffusion with the help of LoRa, resulting in a large number of images. I chose a flamingo with a raised paw for the sweatshirt print. This is how I envision the desire of virtuality to touch our world.

Working on the project with Tanya, we arrived at the idea of resetting the virtual space and the emerging societal urge for a reboot of the information field, freeing ourselves from databases.

Hello! My name is Kirill. I have been drawn to visuals since an early age, and I have been heavily involved in motion design and VFX. I studied for 6 years at an art institute and developed my own visual language called Metapattern. I spent a couple of years working on physical content in this style, including body art. A few years ago, I primarily shifted to 3D motion.

The central figure in the artwork is a girl who embodies freedom and lightness. Through her, the artist literally says, "Find balance with yourself," despite the aggressive environment that may arise. Once you learn to accept the world as it is, then you can find equilibrium between yourself and the surrounding world. The author independently developed patterns for the texture of the dress, which were then transferred to the digital attire. Kirill participated in the "Horses and Roses" show and exhibited this work at the 2MRW NFT gallery, where it received many positive comments!

Hello, my name is Karina! A year ago, I completed a course in Digital Fashion and embarked on my independent development journey, which continues to this day. I enjoy the combination of the real and the digital, so all the costumes I create can be "worn" in photographs.

The visual language of my work is very simple and can tell its story without my assistance. Harmonious combinations of forms, structures, and materials are my main tools.

My work is a reflection of key events that happened to me last year, and it is my gratitude to everyone involved. I can't categorize myself because I do a bit of everything and I can do almost anything. I enjoy paying attention to details in my work and try to carefully consider every aspect. I really love the color green.

I had the opportunity to participate with my works in exhibitions like Digital Fashion (Moscow) Project 22, Digital Fashion Dubai, and ReStore Digital Art.

The character is inspired by reflections on depersonalization as a response to the aggressive variety of current trends. The limitless possibilities of digital fashion allow for the embodiment of any image that can either emphasize the model's character or completely transform her.
