Glitching Intaleqi 1/1 Animated Painting, 3dCG Animation with Music 1080 HD Video, 32 Second Loop Marjan Moghaddam 2023 This piece explores the ideals of Intaleqi or Arabic for freeing oneself, as a post digital state of being. Using Middle eastern dance, Mocap, architecture, music, 3d CG animation, simulations, generative/procedural AI GAN-generated elements, western and eastern geometric patterns, special effects, Glitch, and other contemporary digital aesthetics, this animated painting perfectly combines oriental and occidental elements in a contemporary virtual manner.
The main figure employs Mocap of middle eastern dance and Marjan’s original and unique style of figuration and animation which combines pose-to-pose 3d animation with procedural/generative 3d deformations and simulations. The background uses Arabic style architecture that is interpreted and remixed via Artificial Intelligence GANs and is further glitched and voxelized in 3d. Other elements employ simulations and dynamics. Textures reference traditional Arabic patterns alongside Geometric patterns inspired by Modernism in further blending of the East and West. Exemplifying the Middle Eastern and North African metaphysical traditions of enlightenment and gnosis, the lone figure evokes the serene experience and feeling of intaleqi or to free oneself. Available also in high resolution 4k Video.
