NEWS: ZEITGUISED signs with LOST IN SPACE

zeitguised creative duo artist Jamie Raap and architect Henrik Mauler have signed with lost in space | enchanted.

lost in space | enchanted will be representing zeitguised for commercials, promos and motion-graphics work in the uk, europe, usa and japan.

zeitguised evolved from the creative fusion of the jamie and henrik in 2000. Jamie is coming from an artistic background: She graduated as a sculptor, but crossed over to fashion and painting during her studies. Henrik thought architecture combined his interests in design and science well and also would serve as a good cover-up so his parents would think he does something decent and serious.

together zeitguised are responsible for an amazing hybridization of artistic and architectural film making.

their stated aim is to cross the gap between philosphical/scientific concepts (modeling) and the sensual experience/ the excitement of perception (simulation).
"As "designers", it goes without saying that we are interested in topics that deal with the perception of our world and strategies to trace the things that are excluded in this perception, as well as operations to give these hidden alternatives form."

In >syntax of construction<, zeitguised told the story of
form that "becomes" thanks to the inherent code of matter that prefers
change and recombination to solid states. Until the first half of the last
century, scientists were rather looking for these "solid states" of matter,
nowadays they search for transformation processes and "temporarity". It is
just a matter on which part you focus your frame. In our example, little
biomorph beings create -by getting help from the code- machinery from
polygonal debris in their world. These machines in turn shape the world to
create the beings.

The "polygonal debris" already consisted of randomly deconstructed models
from the web. The same deconstructed models served later in the music video
"no c no k", this time visualizing more "process" and less "narrative" in
the relation between becoming of form and code. In this clip, very basic
"traditional" elements of film making played the major role in showing the
process: the moving camera and the composition.

With the "boolean camera" in >kontaktschmelze<, the process was on a
different level. It emerged in the making of it, by downloading random
objects from the internet, generated by armies of anonymous "modelers", and
generating a "process" or a "machine" that would turn them into
bastardizations of established and unquestionable forms.
