Denmark

Kristian Levin aka noCreative is a 3D Artist working out of Copenhagen, Denmark. He has 15+ years of experience across multiple disciplines in the creative industry, including the traditional art space and fine arts photography. Known for his striking highly detailed, technical, signature 3D cloth and interior/environment work, he has set himself apart within the NFT art community as a thought leader, artist, collector and curator.


Kristian entered the NFT scene in late 2020, enabling a life long dream of becoming an established artist. He has been exhibited at multiple venues the world over like; Calgary contemporary, TED Vancouver, Beijing contemporary, TEFAF in the Netherlands, the Stratosphere in Beijing and at multiple billboards in Times Square during NFT NYC, to name a few. Kristian is considered a community leader within the NFT Twitter space and has amassed a following of over 33k which is growing at a rate of 8% per month. He's been a curator on two official drops on Makersplace, one for SuperRare in association with NEAL and recently did his first curated drop on Nifty Gateway.

The Kubrick

The_Kubrick_NoCreative_3D.mp4

"The fabric is infinite, it stretches eternally Transcending reality, deforming time. It's full of stars."



Description:

The idea sprang from a discussion about black holes and how to visualize them. And thus the creation of the fabric of space and time commenced. This artwork explores the idea of an infinite loop, in conjunction with the concept of a looping universe. The Loop quantum cosmology; the theory that the universe keeps expanding until it collapses in on itself, and then bounces back, in infinitude. An ever looping big crunch, to big bang. A everlasting feedback loop.The main inspiration is clearly Stanley Kubrick, specially; A Space Odyssey 2001.

The room is modelled with strong hints to the end scenes of the movie, and the white looping cloth is a nod to the bone being tossed into the air, transitioning to the space age of humans(Specifically the revolving space station, main vessel in the movie, generating artificial gravity. Thought up by Arthur C. Clarke, author of the book(s)). The eye on the back wall, is a nod to the godly aspect Kubrick added to ASO2001, in his case the black monolith. In this artwork, a combination of the all seeing eye and the deep blue cloth, transitioning to white and a new beginning. The agnosticism never leaving the equation. All is done with the deepest respect of Kubrick's masterly eye for composing a scene, slow moving cameras, and perfectly executed transitions. To understate desolation and emptiness, the artwork presented without humans. With a strong the focus of beauty of decay and abandonment.The music is a mixture of the same symphony; Also sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss.

One version, the drone part of the piece, is the music slowed down 800%. The horns are played at the original speed, but very chopped and skewed. This was all done as another nod to Kubrick, and to give the sense of the familiar in combination with the otherworldly.


Technical breakdown:

Kristian used Cinema 4D to create the scene and fauna. The cloth simulations were done in Houdini. Textures are hand painted in photoshop, visualized in Octane Render, as well as the lighting and camera art direction. All post production is done in DaVinci Resolve.

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.
