Jules Langeard

France

Jules Langeard is a French digital artist, photographer, videographer and content creator for digital and print campaigns, who has worked with companies such as Porsche, Richard Mille and Honda. His visual storytelling skills have allowed him to work in many different sectors including outdoor action sports, luxury, documentary, travel and editorial. At the age of 16 he was asked to take photos of a friend for a Mountain Bike Magazine and the resulting photos were published. It was at this moment his passion for storytelling started.

Jules' hypnotic loops of skateboarders and BMXers is what has led him to his renown on social media today. The artist intentionally leverages the psychology behind capturing people's attention on social media, using growth hacking techniques as a commentary for this work. “The main aspect of my work is to grab your attention and to make you look closer at it. With a very technical and professional background in the media industry combined with 10 years of experience, I became a specialist of digital attention. There are countless content creators out there, the difference between one and another is the story told," he states. "We consume a lot of content every day and forget about it seconds later. I aim at creating work that pays attention to the story. Sometimes seen as an art piece it is often made for growth hacking techniques. I dig inspiration from both marketing wizards such as Ryan Holiday, digital artists like Pablo Rochat along with Ari Fararooy and under the historic influence of Henry Cartier Bresson. Altogether, I can create a piece of work that fits the medium and stands out.”

Castor & Pollux

In Jules Langeard's captivating digital loop, "Castor & Pollux," a solitary MTB rider embarks on a mesmerizing journey of self-reflection and duality. The artwork, named after the twin deities of Greek mythology, symbolizes the rider's encounter with their mirrored image, a captivating visual metaphor for the internal struggle between one's true self and the persona projected to the world.

More on digital art

Generative art
Generative art refers to a way of creating artworks using an autonomous system. In digital art, these are usually generated from code and algorithms created by the artist, often with certain predefined parameters or systems. Although these parameters guide the final outcome of the work, generative art is generally a surprising way to create artworks, as the results are often unexpected and the number of possible outcomes can be infinite.
AI
AI art is a branch of generative art that uses artificial intelligence. Unlike other generative artworks, AI artworks use specific complex algorithms and models derived from machine learning. The most common methods for creating AI art today are GANs (generative adversarial networks) or proprietary prompting platforms such as ChatGPT, Sora, Midjourney, or Dall-e.
3D
3D art uses 3D software such as Blender, Cinema4D, Houdini, or video game software such as Unity to create works of art. In 3D works, artists can either arrange assets (the 'objects' in a 3D artwork or world) that they have created themselves or purchased from other creators to create elaborate environments and scenes (an approach to 3D art called 'set dressing'), or specialize in sculpting, which involves creating their own objects and assets.
Photogrammetry
Photogrammetry is a specialized 3D technique that allows 3D objects to be created from numerous photographs taken of an object or scene from multiple angles. These photos are then compiled to determine the specific positioning, shape, and dimensions of the object in space, and then converted into a 3D model. Initially developed for engineering and urban planning, photogrammetry has become a way for artists to produce extremely accurate 3D models from real-life images.
Collage
An extension of the traditional, plastic approach to collage, digital collage involves searching for and cutting out multiple images, extracting them from their original context, and recomposing them in a new arrangement to create a work of art. Artists can use their own photographs or find images on the internet.
Illustration
Digital illustrations are created using software such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or Procreate. As with drawing on paper, the artist uses a stylus to sketch a figure or object, usually on a tablet, to construct a scene or artistic universe. Unlike traditional drawing methods, digital illustration is much more forgiving, as mistakes can be easily corrected and drawn elements and objects can be easily moved around within a scene.
Video
Video artworks primarily use a recording camera, but may sometimes include additional post-processing or editing to distort, modify or add additional elements to the image. Some artists use state-of-the-art recording equipment to create macro zoom-ins or time lapses, privileging fidelity to the subject matter. Others use additional softwares to significantly modify or warp the video, creating an alternative perspective on the world that surrounds us.
