1st Ave Machine: Samsung “New Species”
Posted in: 3d, General, hummingbird, LED, nature, organic, photorealistic1st Ave Machine’s latest project for Samsung is a delightful throwback to their early days (by which I mean a few years ago), when co-founder Arvind Palep cranked out photorealistic mechano-organic CG imagery that wowed everyone with its surreal beauty.
Like their “Sixes Last” promo from a couple years back, “New Species” is set in a forest of the imagination. I could decry agency Cheil Worldwide for forcing a repeat performance from 1st Ave, but it’s just so damned beautiful, I really don’t care. I feel like Arvind has created a universe—or rather augmented our own—with his work. You can’t contain that kind of potential in a couple of projects.
Check out 1st Ave’s portfolio here. For those who attended F5, note that Asif Mian’s new Mute Math video is now online as well.
By the way, I found this amusing old post from the Tween archives.

Selgas Cano
Posted in: Architecture, Forest, Gallery, Office, Selgas CanoIn theory, it would be AMAZING to work from a 2001 style hobbit villa. For sure. Until, at about 3pm, you realized you couldn’t get any more coffee without taking a zipline from your pastoral forest back to civilization. At this point you’d be all like “no thanks”. But maybe it’s different for Spanish architect, Selgas Cano.
