Machines don’t dream

People do.

It’s important to remember that culture is built by people. Artists, designers and creators used their own human experiences to shape the world as it is today. These collective expressions were inspired by other aspects of humanity. There is no formula for it. You cannot calculate it. It comes from a place within the subconscious that AI simply don’t have.

This piece was prompted by a need to make something that a machine could never come up with. Designed in a horizontal format with manually animated components.

This Vector Artist has captured our imagination

Today, we started to receive notices from Behance about an artist that we all follow here named Adhemas Batista.
When you get one look at his portfolio you can see that he probably doesn’t get a whole lot of time to do much self-promotion. He seems to be just too busy for it.

So we decided to do it for him

At the very least – we offer a “little boost”. Not that this cat needs it. Just take a spin through some of these examples along with his story (Further down the post below). There is a “Gift” at work here. The kind of talent that makes you take pause. Perhaps even make you re-approach your own vector creative.

Ten Collection Fotolia Season 2 - Adhemas Batista

Amplifying Awareness

As he published projects to his portfolio Today, we added them to this post in real time. Why? Because his Vector Illustration styles are worth telling a few people about it. There is allot of range and character here.
After all, these images hypnotized you into reading this. If I’m lucky, you’ll take the next step and support this tremendous portfolio as it grows. (Read more by clicking “Continue” below)

Vectorvault teams up with Niagara College – Again!

January 28, 2013 by Adam Jarvis

Finding the solution through teamwork

This time the objective is Marketing

Last July, Vectorvault was fortunate enough to be introduced to the Research and Development Team at Niagara College. They have been building some key infrastructure for us. And as we “Round Third” on this project’s completion, we find ourselves working with another talented Niagara College group. This time, specifically related to Marketing. Lighting apparently, can strike twice.

Vectorvault presented as a project

July seems like a long time ago as I braved some deadly weather to drive to Niagara on the Lake Today. I met with Professor Malcolm H. and David D – Great guys. Both of them made me feel very at ease, and had nothing but high praise for the second year Marketing class that I presented to Today.
I think that it went well. Most of it was just speaking about where Vectorvault came from and where it fit in the marketplace. I raced through allot of slides and tried my best to “boil it down” the best that I could.

A chance for young minds to shine

Optimistic and Supportive

As I rolled my eyes across the faces in the room today, I could see “the wheels turning”. I hope that will translate into some creative approaches and curiosity. I am confident that wherever it ends up, Vectorvault will be advantaged by alternative perspectives and imaginative solutions.
I’m looking forward to watching it unfold. And I’m providing all the ingredients necessary for an ambitious team to really stand out. I’m excited for them and us.

Thanks NC

Malcolm, David and the entire class, Thanks for listening today. Just remember, I’m listening as well. Let’s keep the lines of communication open along with our minds. Good luck.

(VIDEO) Kinetic Rain – Changi Airport Singapore

July 6, 2012 by Adam Jarvis

Changi Airport, Singapore

In the course of refurbishment works ART+COM was commissioned to create a signature art installation for the Departure-Check-in hall of Terminal 1 at Singapore Airport. Kinetic Rain is composed of two parts, each consisting of 608 rain droplets made of lightweight aluminum covered with copper. Suspended from thin steel ropes above the two opposing escalators, each droplet is moved precisely and seemingly floating by a computer-controlled motor hidden in the halls ceiling. The drops follow a 15-minute, computationally designed choreography where the two parts move together in unison, sometimes mirroring, sometimes complementing, and sometimes responding to each other.
