ZEITGUISED is an award winning multidisciplinary art and design studio producing exquisite realities, at the intersection where art and design and digital and physical space meet. ZEITGUISED have been influencing synthetic image making since 2001, with an approach connecting formal and conceptual design, oscillating between cerebral and poetic. Their work is carried by hallucinative narratives of shape, color and behaviour relations. Inanimate objects and character like abstractions come to life through a tantalizing blend of digital animism. Debuting with a project encompassing VR and 3D printing in early 2001, ZEITGUISED recently reconnected to their arts and crafts roots with a series of original independent solo projects and artist collaborations in the material world of physical digital objects.
Part dreamlike theatre, part lateral cargo cult hustle, a succession of bold garment designs acts as an ersatz runway show. In a minimal set of solid backdrops, radiant colors and oblique choreography second the exquisite design of costumes that have been entirely artificially generated. A wealth of custom procedural surface detail emphasizes the uncanny rift between the realistic presence of the guises and the abstract vacancy of the digitized human movements.
