Freefarm

Chris Davenport — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 10:39:03 +0000

Complete rebrand of Freefarm sound design. As you would expect, sound features heavily in the site. The idea being the facility to browse work simply through the audio. Hence the navigation essentially being one long play bar.

Involving an Identity that responds to audio in the site, the entire Freefarm back catalogue being brought to life through a visualiser powered by sound cloud, and a short documentary on studio practice, also produced by us.

Collisions studies

Chris Davenport — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:37:24 +0000

A quick series of 3D studies based on the concept of collisions for Simon Pyke’s collisions EP. The physical renderer produces the image from thousands of its own tiny collisions as the simulated light beams shoot between the trails, sometimes hitting the structure but often not, lending them an acid etched quality.

Still Life

Chris Davenport — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 14:45:36 +0000

An art application interested in the paradigm of still life painting for the framed* device. Framed* takes the position of a traditional wall hung painting. This work creates a living piece from the standard subject matter of still life painting, a painting that desires to be viewed, and indeed will wilt if not. This flower hungers for attention, not water.

Mythologies

Chris Davenport — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 13:04:41 +0000

Words and objects have in common the organized capacity to say something; at the same time, since they are signs, words and objects have the bad faith always to appear natural to their consumer, as if what they say is eternal, true, necessary, instead of arbitrary, made, contingent. - Edward W. Said on Barthes.

Art application for the framed* device. A Never-ending deluge containing hundreds of made objects, exuding a consensus of negotiated and manufactured reality.
