Ploypapus

Germany

Ploypapus is a Thai-born digital artist who lives and works in Berlin. She creates motion graphics with an emphasis on generative design, animation and interactive and audiovisual art. In 2006, she began to explore visual principles and digital possibilities. After graduating in 2013, she moved on to computer-generated imaging, adding VJing, generative art and installations to her repertoire. The study of our connection to the digital world, the oriental traditions in which she grew up and her innovative approach to design and aesthetics are the main characteristics of her work.


Self-taught artist, Ploypapus creates with software such as Touchdesigner, VDMX and Adobe After Effects. Her work often refers to quotations about the mind, spirituality and science of many great philosophers and scientists. Her work has already been exhibited around the world, at the Creative Code festival in New York (2020), in TheFound online exhibitions (Beijung, 2020) and O sitio Arte e Technologia (Brazil, 2020), etc.

Cosmic Dune: Canary Fuschia

Cosmic_Dune_Canary_Fuschia_Ploypapus_Generative_art.mp4

Cosmic Dune is a series of audio-visual generative artworks that capture certain emotions, moods, and inner states. The ability to expertly capture various textures, colours and movements, just with code, is testament to Ploypapus' skill as a generative artist. Each artwork title refers to the colours that are visible in each piece, mostly referencing jewel tones and rare stones, to which the velvety or natural-looking textures add a supplementary sensorial element.

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.
