SYNTHETIC by NOCREATIVE

The Spanish dancer nudibranch served as the primary inspiration for this artistic composition. This type of sea slug is renowned for its resplendent hues and fluid movements as it glides through its aquatic environments.

In the event that the Spanish dancer is agitated, it can unfurl its edges and use contractions and undulations of its body to swim away from the source of disturbance. Its common name “Spanish dancer” derives from this particular defensive mechanism.

The artwork depicts several pieces of fabric that emulate the movements of the Spanish dancer. This, in conjunction with the of its name, synthetic, serves as a commentary on the detrimental effects of human activity on the world's oceans, suggesting that we may eventually only be able to appreciate these magnificent creatures like this through recordings or synthetic simulations.

The ornamental plaster background is intended to evoke the notion of a coral reef to the viewer, while the glass in the foreground is meant to symbolize water or an aquarium. The soundscape was in the same way engineered to evoke the feeling of slight eeriness and an artificial environment.

Technical breakdown: A perfect loop.Cinema 4D was used to create the scene, topology, and space. The cloth simulations were done in Houdini. Textures were hand painted or generated by AI.
The scene was visualized in Octane Render, through lighting and camera art direction. All post production sound design is done in Davinci Resolve.
